More Walls!
Had a little bit of a scare this morning...lol...went out to get in the truck and go to the new house and saw our resident groundhog out in the yard. Well...it was what I THOUGH was our resident groundhog. Apparently now we've got not one, but two living...
Basement time?
Oh yeah...forgot we needed to be getting some work done down in the basement too! (Ok...finishing it all completely...getting some work done...same thing right? ha ha!) Old insulation is piled high on top of Jenga (that's what we call our pile of hardwood...
My “Real” Job
Had to do a little bit of my "real" job this morning for Live Your Life, ink. Drove up to Godfrey to put down a floor vinyl for a Wedding that's tomorrow night. This bad boy was about 42" square. I just love the way it looks on the dance floor.......
Ahhh…Flowers
Today we took a little road trip to Zimmerman's Greenhouse...close to Vandalia, IL. It was a trip that I hadn't made yet. Mom, Angie and I jumped int he truck around 11 and took the little over an hour drive to go see what all the fuss was about.......
14 Years….
Wow...where does the time go? 14 years ago today we said "I do"...not having any idea what we were getting ourselves into 🙂 I have to say that I am so incredibly lucky to have a husband that supports darn near EVERYTHING that I do...no matter how...
AGAIN?!?!
Seriously....we had to pick flooring AGAIN!! But first...we framed in the doorway to the sunroom...made it 1' smaller (from a 6' opening to a 5' opening)...this way we could even out the space on either side of the opening (at least make it closer to the same...
Ding dong….
We have a door bell! It doesn't work yet but it is installed!! Gotta start somewhere, right?? I just LOVE this cute little thing! It lights up around the center copper button too....awesome!! We also tried out some new lighting for the front...
Vents, vents, vents….
Oh my goodness! Kade worked on venting the bathrooms today! He took the day off so that he could try and get in the attic while it wasn't quite so hot! (cause even when it's cool, it's hot up in there!) We also pulled all the rest of the data/coax...
Come on….
Oh my gosh...our list of things to finish before drywall is getting smaller and smaller (but still never ending, lol!) What is up with that?? I'm hoping to be all ready upstairs for drywall by June 11. That's right...I said JUNE 11..and yes, I...
Strawberry Festival!
Another day off...after yesterday and it being SOOOO hot! We took the day off from the house and went to the Strawberry Festival in Carlinville. This is where I took my favorite pics of The Harmans last year. We needed to go to Walmart too...so we...
NEW GARAGE DOOR!! Woo-hoo!!
Well, it was sure a hot one today! My Dad and is friend Lyle worked on installing our new garage door. Remember the old one?? YUCK! I just can't figure out why everything on this house had to be a shade of skin!! I wish I had a closeup of the door in...
Bales are ready!
13 bales...that's what we got! 13 BIG bales! We're still working on all of the little things....I keep forgetting to take pics (not like you could see a difference anyway!!) We are going to install the new garage door tomorrow...I will for sure be taking...
REALLY??
Stinkin' raccoons!! This time they pulled out flowers and tore into BRAND SPANKIN' NEW bags of soil!! Ugh! What a mess they are making!! Guess I'm going to have to get the trap out and do some relocating of these little buggers! Really...they...
Hay, hay, hay!
Yep! HAY! We've decided to have our 3.5 acres baled this year. They came to mow today! It already looks better 🙂 Hopefully they'll come and bale it tomorrow! We'll get a little money for this too...not bad!!
Gerrrrr!
Ok, so I'm not going to lie...I've been planting pots of flowers for our current house! I just can't go without anything pretty growing around here. Well one of my bff's is getting married in August and this weekend she's going to pick out her wedding...
Are We Ready Yet?
This morning I pulled down all of the paper to reveal the crown moulding & base that I still need to paint. Look at how yellow the "primed" crown moulding is compared to the white that I already painted on the cabinets! Kinda gross! Nothing like prep...
SAVED!
Well...maybe saved isn't the right word...but EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK with these gosh darn cabinets!! I lightly sanded them this morning and then gave them another coat of polyurethane. They look great now (well....great enough, lol) The crackle...
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Kade finally hung up the mirror in the half bath today. I just love that mirror 🙂 It's actually the mirror that goes with the dresser that we're using for the vanity in our hallway bath. (see pics below) Here's the dresser as I bought it. I couldn't...
