Last weekend I took Friday off of work (kind of, I still came home to work all evening but the intention was there and I had the *DAY off) 🙂 My friend Sarah recently just bought a new house and had a few projects she wanted to do so I went down there to help …
It’s been a few weeks since I posted progress from the house so we have a few updates. On top of that fact, my in-laws came out this weekend and extra progress was made with their help! Let’s start with the Diningroom! Our contractor has finished up the beams/boxes for the cofferred ceiling and they …
This weekend Alex and I went down to Aimee’s house to work on their new nursery (for baby #2!). Alex wasn’t much help but luckily Grandma was there to entertain the kids so I could help on the nursery. Jason got the wallpaper off, I scraped around the trim and then skim coated 2 walls. …
This weekend was full of progress on various things. Friday our neighbor taped the diningroom (the part we can tape) and our contractor started on the cofferred ceiling boxes. On Saturday they both were installing the boxes and we have the sides on for most of the boxes (just the bump out part is left). …

Another great weekend of house progress. Our contractor and our neighbor were over Friday and Saturday, they got the sheetrock finished in the diningroom (the part we can do), the first round of taping in the upstairs hallway (and stairwell!) finished and the archway in the livingroom stripped the rest of the way! Woohoo! Then …
Our contractor and neighbor came over Friday and Saturday this week and we have a sheetrocked stairway now! It was not easy sheetrocking that section over the stairs, we left the original ceiling in place (there are only 2 ceilings in the whole house we are leaving, this one and the front livingroom). They sheetrocked …
I can’t really say a fully working bathroom JUST yet because we are waiting on some minor necessary things like a toilet seat (Thurs), Shower curtain rod (Fri) and we need to buy a mirror. However the bathroom is partially useable and Alex even took a bath in her new tub last night which she …
Our contractor and neighbor came on Friday and Saturday again this week so lots of progress was made! Friday our contractor started stripping the archway in the livingroom. Even though there is no lead paint in this (we had everything tested so we know where the lead paint is – upstairs mostly), I wanted the …
The last two evenings after Alex went to bed I painted the trim in the bathroom. This was a LOT of cutting in but it’s done! Now I just have some touchups of wall paint to do from caulking mostly and we’ll install the vanity tonight probably. Jason is going to come out any day …
Friday our contractor finished the upstairs hallway flooring! Our neighbor finished spackling the livingroom over Friday and Saturday and got the linen closet sheetrocked. Our contractor got the closet door installed and Ryan finished installing the bathroom trim. I sanded and primed all the trim on Saturday evening. I’m hoping to get some …
