So after we moved into Project Red, we had already determined that the tub shower was going to have to go . . . eventually.
Until the time came and the funds were saved up, we needed to make with what we had. Three tiled walls, which do look quite nice near the top. However, as the water from the shower has hit the tile over the years, it has clearly allowed moisture to be absorbed (most likely from non-epoxy grout being used).

Project Red would never have come in to fruition without Mr. Dapper and I sitting down to really think about what we needed versus what we wanted. We were in a situation where we didn’t know if our apartment would have a sudden lease end due to our landlord, so we acknowledged that we needed to at least look for a new place – renting or buying.
For a number of years, I was overly involved with my state chapter of USGBC – in a good way. I loved working with others who had a passion for sustainable design and even managed, prepared and hosted study groups for the LEED Green Associate Exam for a number of years.
I found after moving to the Big City, that LEED was everywhere and talk about a win-win! Now, I know what LEED is, and I internally congratulate buildings that have a plaque on their walls, but, I don’t think everyone is fully aware of what LEED is – and why it is so important. So, I decided to give an incredibly brief overview, enjoy!
Mr. Dapper and I are rather big fans of breakfast – especially breakfast for dinner. Our breakfast burritos and omelets have grown from simple egg and cheese to: there are so many veggies, you sure we put the egg in? or my favorite: oops, I forgot to add the cheese! With so many eggs getting used (I’m talking 12-18 a week sometimes) we had a whole lot of leftover eggshells. So, I looked into what I could do with them . . .
