The Latest on the Lowes

We started this blog to share the transformation of our 1926 fixer...but with time and the addition of kids it has become my way of documenting two childhoods...the triumphs, moments of hilarity, lessons learned and everything in between.

And he even does masonry!!


Just when you thought Chris couldn't possibly get any more talented, he pulls another rabbit out of his hat. This time the rabbit's name is Brick and Slate. As you know our front yard has gotten a radical overhaul...but something was still missing. That something was a pathway from the front steps to the driveway on the side. That's no longer an issue thanks to this lovely slate walkway Chris completed yesterday. The many hours I spent playing Tetris in college helped somewhat, but really the credit is all his. Ain't it purty?


And if this wasn't enough, he's also just completed a brick patio in the back. So now instead of a mass of weeds and random debris, we have a nice lush lawn and a patio that we'll be enjoying mojitos on for many summers to come. Paco was so proud he decided that he needed to be in the picture to show off Chris' handiwork.
