DIY Vanities

DIY Vanities

So around the new house I've had the ongoing issue of what to use for the bathroom vanities.  I've been to the big box stores and have been completely uninspired by what they have to offer.  Nothing is even real wood anymore...and it's so...

The Bucket Truck

The Bucket Truck

Yep, that's right, a bucket truck.  That was the plan to get that pesky tree down that is hovering over the bedroom side of the house.  This morning Dad, F and Kade did what they could to finally get that problem off of our mind.  I know Kade was just...

Still no pictures of the house but we did do an install on a new sign that I designed tonight!  Looks pretty darn good don't you think?  I must add...it's really nice having a tall and handy husband 🙂  I don't know what I'd do without him!

Another week of working but not much to show!  The clawfoot tub is installed...just need to connect the cold water from the basement. (need to install the water spigot for outside under the sunroom before we can do that though).  Maybe next week we'll have...

Oh, July!

July has been quite the month for us.  No major visible progress on the house, just small things like caulking for hours and painting trim, etc.  All of the finishing touches that we need to make upstairs.  Not much picture worthy anyway.  So...in...

Tile Sealed and Sink In

This is a step that you don't see when you're done...but you'll be glad that you did it!  We used this on our last kitchen (well, an old version of this stuff) and we never had any trouble with our grout.  With this kitchen being so light there was no...

Your window apron that is!  Just look at 'em all!  We actually put them together over a few days...and today I worked on filling holes and caulking their joints so I can get them painted. Exciting!  This will be the finishing piece of trim for all of...

Tedious to say the least!

Tedious to say the least!

Well, right now it seems like I'm in one of those places where you work non-stop and you NEVER see any results!  I've been filling holes and caulking trim.  UGH! I tried to work "around" the clawfoot tub...ha!I was squeezed in there sideways in some...
