Sloooowly Starting to Rise Again
It’s almost July. Ya think I should be getting back to the garden and home renovation projects yet? We purchased an air conditioner. Hurray! It’s the first air conditioner I’ve ever had. It’s the window kind, so we’ve been having *fun* trying to fit it into our old 1855 window frame…. more on that to [...]

Oh yeah, Find the Kitty. I left you in terrible suspense on Friday, didn’t I? Haha! Lin just can’t contain herself– WHERE’S Livvy? Were your guesses correct?!?! Sorry if I haven’t been around. Since I got some new wheels, I’ve been zipping around town with my newfound FREEDOM, baby! Booyah!!! We have a travel vehicle [...]

Saturday, December 18, 2010
As many of you know, I blog for pay. If it wasn’t for blogging, I’d never have been able to do what we do around here. This old 1855 house isn’t exactly a money pit, but it’s old, and as many of you know– modern incomes are pretty pinched these days, especially if the husband [...]

Saturday, November 20, 2010
Hello, Blog Jog Day visitors! New York Renovator is my little home on the Internet. I blog about our adventures as we *try* to fix up our 1855 home in Upstate New York. We’ve been here 10 years, but have really only recently begun to update. We’d been running on 1920s knob-and-tube wiring, a 1940s [...]

Monday, November 8, 2010
I read about Blog Jog Day on Sparkle the Designer Cat’s blog. It looks like a great way to get new readers and a great way ti find new blogs. It can be difficult finding new blogs. I have joined a good share of blog network communities, and have dropped out on most of them. [...]

Wednesday, October 7, 2009
It’s been a long time since I changed the theme for this blog– about two years now! I’ve been ready for a change, and the old theme was taking too long to load. My blog is in limbo right now– the colors clash and not everything is just the way I like it. I will [...]
Continue reading...A Note About the Ads…
Monday, October 5, 2009
Just a quick notes about some of the blog ads that appear in my sidebars: I cannot control the content of the other blogs. For the most part, I am able to carefully choose the ad widgets and other blog advertisers’ links in the sidebars. I always check them to make sure they are “family-friendly.” [...]

Tuesday, September 29, 2009
I’ve been seeing that “mythbusters” and other such shows and websites are very popular these days. Looks like there’s an ample market for it, judging by the urban legends and other wacko stories that clog my email inbox every day. :S I found a cute website called Rules of Thumb that some of you readers [...]

Sunday, January 4, 2009
I love going back through the past year and seeing all the stuff we accomplished. It’s easy to forget all the little changes that have been made. Reminding myself of them makes me feel much better! January: We started off 2008 with a stomach bug. I discovered the wonderful wonders of ginger beer, but got [...]
Continue reading...I’m Rebecca
:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
