Our Remodeling Business
About Me
- Carly Fay
- My husband and I are taking root! We just bought our first home, started our general contracting business, and are loving the challenges! I’m a listener and a watcher, always looking for answers, and I talk about my observations here. It’s becoming more and more apparent that our society is so confused. We live in a culture of excess (in food, escapism, spending, clutter…), so many of my posts focus around my own goals of breaking my consumerist cycle and living a simple, balanced, and attentive life.
