It’s been a while since I posted, we’ve taken quite a break from working on the kitchen. Some weekends home, a weekend in NY. Lots of time playing with Alex etc. We’ll get back to the house work shortly but it’s been a nice break after 2 months non-stop. Anyhow – Alex is now 10 …
This weekend was the first in a while that we were all healthy so it was great! We relaxed, did some shopping and got some work done on the house. Saturday Ryan got all the knobs and pulls installed in the cabinets! Then I installed the 2 drawers in one base cabinet that …
Ryan picked up his new car today! We’ve been looking for a while because the gas is killing us driving the truck and acura with such long commutes. This will be the commuter car and I get to drive my acura again now! It’s a 2013 Honda Accord Touring V6. It’s got tons of fun …
Well this weekend did not go as planned, that’s for sure. The one thing that did go as planned was getting the plumbing in the kitchen done thanks to Jason. Well mostly done, we still need to hook up the freezer/ice maker and install a pot filler. But the sink and dishwasher are all hooked …

So I did’t get any great xmas day photos 🙂 Wednesday and Thursday we kept alex home (ryan had to work) anyhow, and Alex and …
I picked up the last base cabinet last night and Ryan got it installed along with putting the stove in place. I still need to run an outlet for the stove and we need to get the plumber out for the gas line but he might be able to come next week (it’s the …
We had a very long weekend, full of late nights. Luckily so far Alex has taken pity on us and Saturday she slept later than ever which was awesome! Friday night we got the final coat of spackle on in the kitchen and back hall before dinner. Then after dinner, once it was dry Ryan …
Well Monday night was a bust, I had a migraine and Ryan had work to do late into the night. Tuesday however was MUCH more successful. Ryan got home just as I was done with my dinner break after putting Alex to bed. We got right to work spackling into the night (Ryan much later …
