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 …
What a wonderful weekend weather-wise! And everything-wise, we had a great weekend in general. Saturday morning we got out to the outlet mall for a couple of hours, getting Alex new shoes and clothes for the fall (hello after-school-has-started sales) 🙂 During naptime Ryan and I worked on the house, I got the first coat …
I’ve been saying I was going to take a day off to paint all summer and finally the weather was nice, someone else was here so I felt safe working up on a ladder and it all worked out. So I took today off of work and got some painting done. Maribeth has continued her …

I came home yesterday to find all the work we contracted out completed! The top crown molding was installed and the small side pieces of moldings on the windows by the driveway side were all installed! Now it’s up to me to get to painting so we can really call it done! We have work …

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 …
Well friday was a rain day so moldings were not going up on the roof line. Instead our carpenter got the moldings up under the porch and then primed more window sashes (only 1 window not primed now!). After Alex went to bed it was not raining so I went out and primed the siding …
