This past weekend Mark and Suzanne came out to visit. We had a great time, Alex loves having her grandparents visiting and Saturday she was in a great mood. Ryan and his dad worked on tiling the shower most of the day (after going to the dump and Alex’s gym class first) 🙂 Priorities! The …
We managed to get a start on the tiling! Sunday we had until 1pm (Pats game) so Ryan started tiling after breakfast and at naptime I joined him. We made some decent progress. I would estimate that if we had a full day with Alex at daycare we could finish and we just so happen …
A busy weekend so far, hopefully the momentum continues. Ryan and I tag teamed on chores and baby duty today. I worked on the bathroom in the morning while he took Alex with him to run some errands. I got the touch up sanding done on the walls/ceiling, then everything primed. During nap time I …
I finally made some time in the evening to make a tiny bit of house progress! Last night after I put Alex down to bed I finished sanding the bathroom and did the necessary touchups. Now there will be some sanding touchups and then priming! We’ll see how work goes today, maybe I can get …
Still doing prep-work before we can water proof. I got more spackling done this weekend, a little each day, finishing what is basically the last coat Sunday morning (although touchups may be needed after sanding). Ryan got thinset down on the floor and around the window and shelves in the bathroom where the cement board …
Well I was supposed to take last friday off to paint/work on the house but Alex got sick Thursday night and had to stay home friday so I worked while she watched Thomas on TV most of the day (not the WHOLE day, although she did that most of the morning) 🙂 Anyhow, so the …
This was one of those perfect weekends, lots of family time, lots of house progress – just perfect all around. Aimee, Jason and little Jason came up on Saturday. The guys worked on the bathroom, Jason getting the rough-in plumbing finished up and Ryan getting the cement board up and both of them installing the …
This weekend was a mish-mash of work. Saturday Ryan finished the third wall of the little bathroom (the doorway) and started the wall next to the tub, however all hour wood is now warped so he got frustrated very quickly with that. Unfortunately a trip to home depot Sunday was no good, all their wood …
The carpenter has stayed on to complete some more work for us. Last week he rebuilt the soffit and got the shakes prepared to replace the missing ones. He’s back this week to replace the shakes, put up the crown on the soffit, do the siding around the window and then some moldings throughout. Saturday …
Finally the rebuilding has begun. This past weekend (Saturday at least), Ryan made a couple trips to the dump to get rid of all the demo debri from the ceiling demo. We got the upstairs cleaned up more, things moved around, the saw brought up and vacuuming vacuuming vacuuming. There is still more cleanup to …
