A Spring Vacation, Only Not
Firstly, thanks to HeartlandCustomHomes.com, who somehow discovered RocketCityDigs and featured us as one of the best DIY/Home Improvement Blogs in Pittsburgh. Pretty sweet, eh? I joked for years that Pittsburgh’s not safe until after St. Patrick’s Day. That is: it … Continue reading
It’s Time to Leave the Capsule (If You Dare)
