This past weekend (we were home on Monday only) marked some progress on the linen closet!  Friday my neighbor Pete was over working so he sanded, primed and painted the closet (then did some other projects like empty out the master bathroom area).

Closet painted!

Monday we went to home depot and got the closet system, then I painted the second coat on the walls and ceiling.   Once the paint was dry I installed the closet light, then Ryan installed the rails for the closet system (we’ll wait on shelves which just pop in until trim is done).  Then Ryan made and installed all the closet trim (baseboards and door trim) on the inside of the closet!

Rails and baseboard installed

Door trim and light. Since it’s the inside of a tiny (narrow) closet we’re just doing flat trim, nothing fancy. Once the shelves are in you won’t even be able to see the trim.

All that is left is to sand, caulk the trim and then prime/paint the trim and doors!  I’m so excited to have a closet soon  upstairs!  The only problem with working on it is that it’s RIGHT outside Alex’s room so I can’t do anything noisy when she’s trying to fall asleep, so we’ll see when I get some time to sand it (painting is quiet at least).

House progress is always fun, especially on a weekend when we also got to go back to NY and see all our family!  The Pig Roast was this weekend and we had a great time – the weather was really nice even though rain was predicted!

Alex and Jason had a blast, they both love tractors so first thing we went out (in pajamas) and let them sit on Grandpa’s tractor

‘Sharing’ 🙂

On Sunday Grandpa got his car out and the kids got to drive that too!

I don’t have my pics off my camera yet, just my phone ones plus I didn’t take any pictures at the actual pig roast, I was too busy talking to people!  It was a great turn out (anything is better than last year when we got rain AND cold!).
