We’ve had a very busy few days and the kitchen progress shows it! Thursday night Ryan and I stayed up late sanding both the kitchen and diningroom. Friday night we vacuumed the ceilings/walls then started priming – getting the ceilings primed and 1 wall. Saturday morning Ryan and his dad started with a ceiling paint …
The kitchen progress continues even on a ‘holiday weekend’. Ryan and his dad finished hanging the sheetrock in the diningroom on Saturday! I got the kitchen taped and some more spackling done on both Saturday and Sunday. Dad surprised us and came over today to help continue the spackling – which makes our goal of …
Well it was a very long week for Ryan – and a long weekend for me as I took Friday off to do electrical which of course took time on the weekend too as we did it in phases. First we moved the ‘kitchen’ out to our hallway (luckily we have a very large hallway) …
We’ve had a busy month getting prepped for our kitchen renovation and hopefully it goes smoothly. This week Ryan took the week off and he and his dad are go-go-going with all the prep work. First a recap of progress. Dad came out and taped/spackled my office -the large room. In the mean time Ryan …
Work continues, we’ve had a few good weekends. Dad came over one weekend and helped Ryan hang all the sheetrock in the office. That room is cleaned up and empty now. The playroom is also cleaned up , ramboard put down and Ryan has been taping a little each night – getting all the seams …

It looks awesome – same cherry as upstairs. I’m so excited – …

While no house progress is being made (busy summer) – I have been stitching in the evenings and I pulled out another old unfinished piece. This is My Stitching Treasures by Jeanette Douglas. I got this as a gift for my bridal shower (hosted at a stitch shop) from all of my friends – the …
The latest big house project has been hiring a crew to put on a new metal roof (standing seam) and then we had some solar panels installed on the back dormer roof (the flat one). We’ve only had the solar on for a week and of course it was very rainy and cloudy last week …
