Follow Our Journey!
Congrats are in order!
I'd like to give a huge congratulations to Mo Pitney, a friend of our friends, The Harmans...he just signed a recording contract with Curb Records!! Get ready for some great singing and song writing out of this guy!! He's amazing! Mo played at Harman...
More of the same…
Just lots of little stuff. Where did all of this little, never ending stuff come from?? On the bright side...the faucet came for my special half bath sink. Remember it? I still love it! Isn't it cool? 3 individual pieces...very "vintage"...
Break time!
Well...today we worked on just misc. stuff. Electrcal, Plumbling, etc. We stopped a little early tonight to go with The Harmans to their show at Wild Pickins Winery in Chesterfield, IL! It was such a nice evening...even COLD!! I was shivering...
Still…are you kidding me??
The stinkin' lighting is still not figured out, lol! We just look at it, talk about it, look at it some more, read about it, and then NOT make a decision, lol! Look...there's Kade...looking at the lighting 🙂 Oh...I see that door...we've still got to move...
Concrete Day!
FINALLY!! We got the giant hole in the basement floor filled! Man...it was hot today too....and so humid! (of course it was, did we expect it to be nice, breezy and perfect for concrete pouring??) lol! Kade ran the concrete mixer, Dad hauled...
More Shopping!
I swear...I shop EVERY SINGLE DAY now!! Had to go to Lowes & Home Depot again and look at lighting and pick up a few more PEX pieces. The light that I ordered for the half bath came...and I LOVE it with the mirror that I took off of the dresser that is...
Is it ever going to end?
I'm serious....plumbing and electrical...is it EVER going to end? It takes so much longer because we have to decide where we want outlets, how we want switches to work, etc. That's all we've been doing. So tonight we took another little break to go...
Hallelujah!
The rain missed us!! I guess God knew I wouldn't be able to handle it 🙂 Check out this weather map...IN...SANE!!! How it missed us there is just one answer....and he loves us all! So the guys from the digging company got there around...
And so it begins…
Good morning! Indeed it was! First day of the actual HVAC install! The company installing the actual pond loops are suppose to come tomorrow (provided it doesn't rain...and guess what they're predicting...BIG STORMS!!) UGH!! Well..I've...
GeoThermal time!
Yes indeed! I can't believe it's already time to get the HVAC system installed! As you know, we committed to the GeoThermal 🙂 Well, today was the day they brought everything that they're going to need to do the install. Look at the...
Plumbing…
I swear it never ends!! It's been another day of working on plumbing here...and there's still plenty more to do! The guys are working on the venting and drains right now. They get to work in that hole that we jack hammered in the basement floor,...
Time Out!
We had to take a break!! Soooo...our friends The Harmans were invited to Nashville, TN to play at a memorial show at The Station Inn for singer/songwriter Harley Allen. He wrote SOOOO many amazing songs, lots of my favorites that The Harmans sing as well...
KITCHEN LIGHTING….AHHHHH!!!!
Yes, that title really is worthy of being in all caps! We just can't make a decision on WHERE the lights should go! We're doing can lights for general lighting, lights above the two windows for more of a task lighting (like when we're at the sink and...
Cabinets are Ordered!!
FINALLY (now that I've got my fancy sink, grin) I can get the cabinets actually ordered! The final decision on them was to stain the island and have everything else painted soft white. I think because the kitchen is so big it will help it to not look too...
Doors, Doors and MORE Doors!
Well, Easter was a nice break yesterday (even though we did do a little work!) now today we've got to get back at it! Lowes called and all of our new interior doors are in (all 18 of them!) so we had to go pick them up today. Maybe I ordered them a little...
Window Sills & MORE PAINT!
Look! It's our very first INSTALLED window sill! Don't you love it? I do! Kade did a great job fitting these. EVERY window had to be custom fit. (imagine that!) First one installed was the one over the kitchen sink. It's strange to look...
Ready, Set, SPRAY!
Oh my gosh....as of this morning I was STILL doing prep work. Let me just say...it's not easy to hang giant pieces of plastic by yourself, lol. I had to look almost like a cartoon in there pulling the tape off of the plastic and trying to get the plastic...
Prep Work……stinks!
🙂 Why does prep works ALWAYS take so long?? Today I taped off the INSIDES of all of the cabinets in the clutter room / laundry room. I figured this was the best way to prepare them for spraying paint. This protects all of the "guts" of the cabinets and only...
