Dogtown Commons

We took advantage of the sunny weather in July to walk/picnic at Dogtown Commons near Gloucester, MA. Dogtown is an abandoned settlement on Cape Ann that dates back to the 1730s. We had a great day checking out the wisdom from Mr. Babson carved into the boulders, and I recommend reading The Last Days of Dogtown, by Anita Diamant.

Mud Room progress

Jeff has been tackling this project in his spare time, and I wanted to share some of the progress as he turns the basement into a finished mudroom.

We started with the cold room, which was insulated with Icyene last spring.


Jeff then framed out this wall.


That's as far as we've gotten.
