We moved into a very cute little house on a quiet street in Ithaca, about a fifteen minute walk from Cornell. We're very happy to have a place of our own.




Part of owning a house is working on it. When we moved in, the tile in the shower was failing, so I tore it out and removed the damaged wallboard behind it. Nick helped me hang the new cement backerboard and pick designs for the new tile. A side benefit of the job was that I got to move the shower head up a foot (it used to be below clavical level). Now we have a fully-functional shower with shiny new tile.

Although we live in the city, we still have deer that come through our backyard. They especially like our apple tree.
