The installer was at the house all day yesterday and got the hallway nearly done, the kitchen and living room nearly done! Here's the hallway around noon yesterday. He still has to go back and do a small strip along the left side of the wall, the area in front of bedroom door and the entryway. Then the quarter round everywhere. Here's the living room. It looks really dark in ...
So this weekend was crazy. As I mentioned last week, we were prepping the house for new floors! Yay! The flooring came in Friday and dad came over to help us get it in the house. It needed to sit inside our house for a couple of days to acclimate. We had already pulled up the carpet in the hallway, so that's where we put the majority of the boxes. ...
This week through Sunday we are getting the house ready for the new floor! I started packing up stuff on shelves last night, and Chase started experimenting with pulling up the carpet in the hallway. I took some before pictures (even though I already took down a lot of knick-knacks): The flooring will be here on Thursday, and has to acclimate to our house, so Chase wants to get the ...
So I went and got my teeth cleaned for the first time in waaaay too long and boy are they sore. Not so bad today. But last night I was hurting. They looked good except I'm going to have to have a crown replaced. Ouch. (the ouch is more financially speaking than physically, though) I've been on a mad house cleaning/getting rid of stuff/reorganizing spree since getting back ...
I finally finished everything up last night and at last have a functional sewing room again. Indy is confused at finding she can actually walk into my office: Closet side: Desk side: I still have a ton of photos in frames I need to find a place for, but that can wait. Also need to organize my bins a bit better, but that's not an immediate concern. Tonight - sewing ...
My way home from my new job takes me right by a house we looked at when we were house hunting back in 2009, so yesterday in my head I was reminiscing about it and some of the other places we looked at. We looked at a lot of short sales/foreclosures, since we could possibly get a bigger house for less money that way, but most of the ones we ...
Hi guys. Haven't done much lately because of all the painting and crazy work stuff. BUT I do have a few things to share now! First off, had a good mail day the other day: Chase has been playing a lot of PS3 lately and it's been making me miss some of my PS2 games. Besides playing Battlefront 1 and 2, I also dug out my old LOTR games - played Two ...
So I was going to upload my Timegate photos tonight but never got around to it because I started reorganizing the kitchen. I didn't mean to reorganize the kitchen, I was just filling up our new shelf in the kitchen, but it just escalated like those things do. Here's the new shelf! The island on the bottom right corner is going away, I emptied it out tonight. Once we get ...
The house is still a disaster thanks to us painting the laundry room, but it's getting there. I forgot to take a before-photo of the laundry room before we took everything out, and before we stacked the washer and dryer. But here it is pre-painting: Only room in the house we've never done anything to - that floor tile is what was originally in our kitchen. The room is tiny, ...
Working on the house again! I repainted the hall bathroom this past weekend. Third time since we've moved in. Here's a quick history of the hall bathroom! When we moved in - it had wallpaper, which we took down. First I painted it green, because green is my fav colour and this was the one room we could agree on being green. But I was really unhappy with that green. ...
