Oh My!
I think this is all I'm going to be doing now 🙂 MOWING!! I think I'm mowing 5-6 acres now...possibly more! Don't get me wrong, I do love mowing...but I have too much to do at the moment to truly enjoy it!! So this was my day! Still...
Another Vanity!
Ok...so remember this cabinet? I saw it when I went shopping to find an old dresser to turn into the vanity for the hall bath. Well...we went to pick that up and I decided I really just needed to have this one too! 🙂 I was thinking this one might be...
Even More Shopping…
Oh my gosh...every day, I swear, I'm either at Lowes, Home Depot or BOTH!! I think I need to just get a job there!! After my shopping I made a trip to the auction again and look at what I found!!! How cute would this sink look in the bathroom with my...
Countertops…hmmm….
Mmmmm....Jimmy Johns! (and lunch with Kade, yeah!) Today we had to go pick up some more plumbing supplies...can I just tell you...plumbing takes FOREVER!! So we went and scoped out some possible countertop options at a store next to Plumbers...
Clawfoot Tub….YEAH!!
So I've been "storing" a couple of clawfoot tubs for probably 10 or 11 years now...just sure that at some point I would be able to convince Kade that they really NEEDED to be in our house 🙂 Well today we finally drug one of them out...and he's actually...
Decisions Made!!
Well...we've committed now! Cabinets for the kitchen/mudroom/laundry and pantry. And GEO-THERMAL for the HVAC! Let's get it rollin'! Wow...that was difficult, lol. I think it's that we just didn't want to spend the money...but we knew...
A Beautiful Day!
Wow...can't believe how nice the weather was today! I decided I'd better go try and buy that dresser that I want to use as a vanity in our hallway bath. Yesterday we worked on plumbing all day, so we're getting to a point where we really need to know...
There’s Only So Much More We Can Distroy!!
Well...today we made even a bigger mess! Is that even possible?? It started with some cleaning...the Harman guys came over and helped get all of the big stuff out of the basement...the fridge, freezer, shower, and a bunch of other misc. stuff. They...
Another Wall Up!
Finally, we rebuilt the wall that the termites took down! Gotta figure out what I'm going to do down the walls inside the stair well now. I'd love to do some kind of old siding or something, but not sure how that would look. Hmmm...too many creative...
A Little More Demo!
Update on Kade's fingers....see the purple in the middle of his middle finger and on the tip of his pointer...that's about 4 days after impact. It's still hurting...he still can't really type, but it's getting better every day! So here's what we're working on...
Go figure!
So we're adding that 1/2 bath upstairs in the mudroom...getting ready to drill the holes for the plumbing and low and behold...the floor joist is SMACK DAB in the middle of where the toilet drain needs to go. GO FIGURE! So here is how we worked around...
We did it!!
This morning we took down the rest of the old stairs....this is the true test! If the new stringers don't work then we're in trouble...we'll have to use a ladder to go to the basement or to come upstairs! Not easy to do while carrying tools, ha ha! Look at...
The Stair Saga….
Ok..maybe it wasn't REALLY a saga, lol. It has really been worry us however. I realize that we can just go buy new 2x12's, but who wants to be wasteful?? That would be one pretty pricy campfire! So...we have planned....and planned...and...
And I shopped some MORE!!!
Shopping actually seems like just about all I've been doing lately. Mostly for lighting and tile, but there are plenty of other things in between that I've been trying to pick out too. I've found some inspiration over the last several months...a lot of...
More Shopping
I have to admit it...I'm not much of a girl when it comes to shopping. Maybe it would be different if we were millionaires and I could just buy whatever I wanted and never have to work, however, we're just not that lucky 🙂 I went shopping again today to...
Little Helpers
Had some little visitors this morning! The Kellys stopped by to drop off some Pampered Chef goodies and to visit for awhile. (IT WAS SO WONDERFUL!!) The kids wanted to help clean up the limbs in the yard that had fallen from our dead tree. It...
Ready to Go…AGAIN
Well...the cabinet boxes are ONCE AGAIN primed and ready to paint! This has got to be the LONGEST cabinet re-do EVER!! At least they're not SUPER yellow anymore! The funny thing is....I honestly tried to convince myself that the yellow tint & streaks just...
Here We Go Again!
I can't believe I really sanded these cabinet boxes in the clutter room / laundry room down and started over!!! I finished them up today Here's a good pic that shows how "yellow" the poly ended up being. In the corner of the crown you can see where the poly'd...
