Hello. My Name Is:

name.jpgI was born and raised just outside Baltimore, Maryland and continue to live nearby. Two years ago I was married to my beautiful wife Jocie (short for Jocelyn) and we purchased our first home. It’s an end unit, town home built in 1985. The house wasn’t in bad shape but we wanted to make it our own.

Growing up, my step-father was a very handy guy. I helped him with projects ranging from building a gazebo to laying shingle on the roof. It seemed like he was always planning something. And he was generous enough to teach me a few things along the way.

Now I look around my home and see projects that I can do rather than hiring someone. I like the work and being able to shape my home. I take a lot of pride from finishing a project. Some major milestones include remodeling my kitchen and master bathroom. I’ll write about them one of these days. We’ve painted just about every wall in our home and the hope to lay hardwood floors this summer(2008).img_1653_2.JPG

Some of the other things I love include listening to music (U2), playing Ultimate Frisbee, video games and technology in general.

I really enjoy blogging about my home improvement experiences. And I’ve gained plenty of know-how, discovered creative solutions and avoided many problems from reading about other peoples home projects. A couple blogs I really enjoy reading are Homeowner’s Blog by Paul and The Box House by Joanne.

Feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment. I always enjoy the feedback. Hope to see you around.

Ethan

    Nice introduction, Ethan. I’m a U2 fan, too, though when I’m working on the house I usually listen to NPR.

    Thanks Josh, U2 is the best band ever. I think that about sums it up.

    Ethan! Nice profile and photo–the pic looks like it could go on a book jacket. Thanks so much for the link to my site.
