Our house has a high maintenance yard that needs to be redone (eco-friendly!) and a retaining wall that's on its last legs. And it's not that we don't need, want or appreciate all the fun things that go on the inside, just that in terms of hierarchy, practical home care wins. We're adults now! It's the worst.

We recently got an amazing house, which is great! But it came with a few quirks like a hole in the roof deck (located juuuust to the left of those charming hydrangeas and straight down to the room below), which is not so great, say, when it rains. Funds will go towards (in brief): 1. demo and reconstruction of railing, gutters, and deck itself with new and improved layout/waterproof surface to prevent future problems 2. demo and replacement of all rotted wood + structural damage in room below, plus impacted exterior (shingles, etc)

Our plan is to save money over the next year+ so we can take a (somewhat belated) honeymoon to Southeast Asia in 2017. If you'd like to help get us there, we'll be sure to raise a glass of something tropical in your honor.

Our favorite nursery that's only a few blocks away

Alex is very classy.

Cheersaroo!

We have stylish (but very small) hooks for towels in our bathrooms --the hanging loops on these are almost too good to be true.

Alex has specific, expensive tastes
