My blog got a shout-out in the NYTimes

[bunnymendelbaum]

I can die now.

It was mentioned as part of the Renovation Roadtrip.

"...six months pregnant and firing up a table saw..."

Yesterday was epic in so many ways!

You're in the big time now! How exciting.

Have you seen many hits from the article? (or do you not stalk your blog analytics like I used to when I was still blogging?)

Annnnd...so what did you decide to do about your privacy concerns anyway?

[bunnymendelbaum]

No bump from hits at all.

I swear. I NEVER get a bump from anything!
Not that I care really.

For the privacy, I went thru the blog and did a keyword search and made a some of stuff very vague and deleted some text. It wasn't really that bad.

I mean, it is funny to me that even on the renovation roadtrip they talked about doing work other places that I'm pretty sure here they would have had to pull permits for. (Electrical)

Here you can't even replace an electrical water heater OR replace a toilet without pulling a permit. WTH? Gas WH, I could see. New toilet location, yes.

I'm all for safety but some idiot could kill themselves by not tying furniture back to the wall or plugging in a lamp wrong, but we don't require permits for those!

[mrsemilys]

Good for you!

[floridakat]

What a great call out! I'd get chills from being in the NYT, too. :-)

That's so frustrating. (the permits part I mean) A permit to replace a toilet seems insane to me.

I'm glad the privacy fix was quick and easy though.

Oooh! And now I can say I "knew you when"!
