About a year ago, we experienced Hurricane Sandy and were concerned about similar damage. We really lucked out and, in fact, never lost power.
We've completed a bunch of projects and made the house ours. In the future there are a list of things we'd like to do; we'll have to see if we ever get around to them:
- Automatic sprinklers for the yard
- Add another bathroom
- Clean and maintain a clean garage
- Fight off violet (weed) growing in the lawn
- Change out some of the hedges in the front
The Blog
It's been over two years of posts on this blog. The first post was September 19, 2011. I posted a lot of content early on in the blog - I had a lot to say about the home buying process, then once I got setup in the garage/workshop I was excited to share my creations. The posts have certainly been less frequent, but I've got plenty of other projects to share over time.
For those interested in some data, I've been running Google Analytics along with this blogger account. It wasn't setup from Day 1, but since GA has been tracking, I've had 12,299 page view from 4,703 unique visitors.
The biggest daily page view count was January 18, 2013 when the site received 204 pageviews perhaps related to this post - Garage Driving Range.
I've also been running ads through Google AdSense which displays ads and pays you either per click or on a CPM basis which is cost per mil (cost per thousand pageviews). It tells me that I've had 15,661 pagviews and 68 ad clicks over the history for a grand total of $77.71.
Clearly, I am not quitting my day job!
Thanks to everyone who has visited and here's to many happy years to come!
