It appears I’ve been a really good boy this year and that Christmas has come early, and in a big way! A very good friend of ours decided that us going on six months without an oven was long enough. He so very generously surprised us with an early Christmas present, an oven! When I [...]
I’m back!!!! Did you miss me? Of course you did! Things seem to be getting better around here it seems. 7 grand later the truck is finally fixed, car is fixed, and I’m so ready to get back to putting money into the house. It pains me to think of how far along we could [...]
Sadly I have no new updates on the house. Everything right now is at a standstill due to money being needed elsewhere, like vehicle repairs. Barry’s work truck is out of commission right now to the tune of 4 or 5 grand, yikes! Which means he’s using our car which also means I am without [...]
Couple of days ago Barry added up what we’ve spent on the house so far and it came to about 5 grand. Things certainly do add up in a hurry when you aren’t paying attention. If you saw the house in person you’d probably ask yourself “where?!”. That’s certainly what we’ve been saying when we [...]
The kitchen is now sitting empty, bare and lonely waiting to be filled with its fancy new look. Unfortunately we’ve run into a little problem in my design idea. Due to the small size of the kitchen the right thing to do would be use white cabinets and then bring in the richness with the [...]
Things seem to be moving along nicely now with the in progress kitchen project. Or maybe I’m just saying that in hopes of trying to convince myself that this project doesn’t totally suck! What no sympathy?! Ha! Last week I got most of the plaster down and out of the kitchen. Thanks to my awesome [...]
I knew I had to come up with a better way of clearing the plaster debris from the kitchen as carrying it out one 5 gallon bucket at a time was tedious and time consuming. Not to mention hard on the back with all the bending over. If you read my recent post about Lulu’s [...]
I’m literally getting plastered here! Not the kind of plastered that will give you a pounding headache the next morning though. We’re talking plaster walls here, a dirty nasty job. With the floor gone in the kitchen it was time to attack the walls. I don’t know why but I’ve been really looking forward to [...]
Finally the day has come when the work starts on the kitchen! The kitchen has been basically a closed off wasted space since we moved in. It became our junk storage room were all the miscellaneous boxes, tools, and whatever else found its way in there. We only have about 900 sqft of space so [...]
If I had a choice between watching paint dry or watch the London Olympics opening ceremony, I would choose watching paint dry. What the heck was that!? It seemed to start off with a plot and a purpose but got boring and chaotic really quick. Sadly I think I’ve seen better productions put on by [...]
