We’re all friends again.

A mighty fine weekend
Check it out! We have a teeny tiny deck attached to our garage apartment, and this weekend we decided to make it more usable. Justin rigged up a really cool canopy-shade thing that rolls up and away when we don’t need it, and he extended our bench to be a larger space for lounging. I […]
