Everyday I get more and more excited to move to the new house. I finished the painting of the last room. Flooring is in the process of being laid. After that, it's trim and adding in a few final touches. Then the big clean up. Tony added some electric to my makeup vanity in my [...]
We are working on the finishing touches before we get to the last room. Today I am performing the tedious task of placing switch plates. That's not as easy as it sounds. Small screws and washers to adjust each one. The kind of work Tony hates. Not because he isn't willing to. He has huge [...]
What a difference a week makes. We are so close that I am running out of things to do until the last room will come together. I expect that the last things that Tony has to do will finish in the next couple of weeks. I finished shower doors in one bathroom. Now it looks [...]
This week I am starting the cleaning of rooms that are finished in the house. Making sure to get the last bit of paint and dust off the floors and doing a final check of where touch ups may be needed. Tony is finishing up any of the other projects in the house. When we [...]
Another week of working on the house. We are so close but yet not quite there yet. I installed a reverse osmosis system, and was so proud of myself. That was until the needle valve started leaking. I hope a new plastic compression sleeve will fix it. Otherwise it's painting and installing shower doors this [...]
The house is literally down to the home stretch. The amount of large projects is dwindling. I am finished with painting my bedroom in a color which I thought was going to be a warm gray. It ended up being taupe instead. When you are saving money on paint, there are bound to be a [...]
As I write this I am taking a rest day today. I'm not feeling well. My body basically said, "I've had enough". So I am taking some walks and doing light yoga to recover. Tony, of course, is still working. He is the Energizer bunny. Ever since I stupidly overtrained, I need to listen to [...]
The house is getting there. I got another room mostly painted. Twice a day I go to the house to work towards completing something. The hope is to be close to done by the end of the month. We'll see. Depends on how much I can get done. Since I am so busy I chose [...]
We are coming in on the home stretch. I am painting for the foreseeable future and Tony is getting the shelving and final drywall hung. I'm working everyday. It's hard, but the finish line is in sight. This week's recipe is one that uses up some leftover steel cut oats I have laying around. I [...]
I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different. This week I started working some evenings on the house because we are getting close. The countertops are in the kitchen as well as a working sink and dishwasher. [...]
