Lack of posting has been due to the flu. Last weekend Ryan had to work all weekend and Sunday I came down with what i thought was a cold after we did manage to clean up leaves in the morning. Unfortunately by noon Monday (I was at work to get some important tasks done) I …
After we finished up the last piece of siding, I got the siding caulked, sanded and then primed. Hopefully tomorrow I can get both coats of paint on it. While I primed, Ryan worked on the window panels, putting the MDO panels into the completed panels and then caulking around them. We’re not sure when …
We had the 3 cousins over for the evening Friday night. I took them to Joanns to get fabric for their halloween costumes, then we went to the park, made pizzas for dinner and watched a movie. It was a nice relaxing night before a weekend of work! Ryan has Monday off for Columbus day …
In case you’re wondering why there has been a lack of posting lately – especially since I was on such a roll with the painting – it’s because I’ve been sick. The sore throat started Monday – turned into a sore-throat/migraine tuesday and even though the headaches are gone the sore throat continues. I am …
I love short weeks, taking Tuesday off this week, while I didn’t get anything done due to the heat and humidity at least made for a short week and the weekend starts tomorrow (or tonight!). We’re up in the air about weekend plans. It looks like some thunderstorms might be coming which may convince Dad …
Pictures of the finished 3 windows! I can’t believe it but it’s actually hotter today than yesterday somehow. Ryan headed into the office around 11 and I got the demo area cleaned up again, some wood we had moved out of the way for windows is back where it’s being stored and I vacuumed. Then …
No house progress because I was sick the beginning of the week and not up for anything but sleep and some reading. I’m hoping tonight to get home at a decent time and fit in some house work since I got in to work so early. I’m psyched for the weekend, so many projects to …
Between the rain and the long hours working I haven’t gotten to check out my new roses blooming but I grabbed a quick picture as I got in the car this morning. The grass was too wet to get close so it’s a distant picture 🙂 We’re planning to have a great weekend. Aimee and …
What a great pigroast we had this year! More family came than I had expected and it was a great surprise. The turnout was great and the pig tasted awesome. The day after was calm but fun, I took a group of the kids up to the “tree” house to clean it up a bit …
I was spoiled yesterday and got to leave work at lunch time to go play with my 3 year old niece. We played for hours, her imagination is wonderful and it was such a pleasant break to not think about work at all! It was also great to see my new niece – who is …
