I Smell Progress Part 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 [...]

October Surprise!

I don’t know what it is but these last couple of months have really packed a punch. I haven’t updated the blog in some time due to nothing happening because of this persistent black cloud that just won’t go away. I can take bad luck but I usually like it to be properly dispersed throughout [...]

Nothing To See Here Move Along

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 [...]

Back In The Kitchen

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 [...]

Change Of Plans

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 [...]

Kitchen In Progress

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 [...]

Getting Plastered – Kitchen Demo

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 [...]

Tearing Out The Hardwood

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 [...]

Watching Paint Dry

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 [...]

Moving Week

The big move starts Sunday! The plan is tobe out of our current place and into the new place by Friday. Naturally what will probably be our busiest moving day, Thursday, and it’s forecasted right now to be 103. I shall tape ice cubes to my forehead. The house is nowhere near as ready as [...]
