The Beavers-Shaver Den

Welcome to our home-improvement blog!

We decided to name it "The Beavers-Shaver Den" as a play on what we call our small family: Team Beavers-Shaver. "Shaver" is easy, it's Alex's last name. "Beavers" is the last name of Megan's dear maternal grandparents. When combined together...well, we think it's funny. As we all know, beavers live in a den...I mean Beavers live in a house.


Below is a picture of us in front of our new house. This event just so happened to coincide with our 5th wedding anniversary. On our first anniversary, we began what I call our "Anniversary Photo Inception." Just like the movie Inception (a dream within a dream within a dream...), our photo inception is a picture in a picture in a picture...beginning with us on our first wedding anniversary holding a picture of our wedding day. On our second wedding anniversary, we held the picture we took on our first wedding anniversary and so on. The idea is to mark each big event in our lives as we continue on together. 


We purchased a home in Laurel, MD. It was built in 1993 and has seen some updates (roof, AC, water heater, garage door, and deck). There are many areas of improvement and this blog will document as many as possible. Follow along with our journey!
