Due to the continuation of great weather I took a half day today off of work to continue the window panels. Around lunch time I did the final sanding of the diningroom panels and then primed them. Once those were done, it was time to paint the cupola panels yellow (first coat)! Just as it …
Wow, October and it was in the 80’s! Perfect for finishing up window panels! So Ryan and I worked hard this weekend! Friday night Ryan got home and started right away working on the built-ins! He got the box for one of the bookcases put together so we could see what they’d look like installed …
Besides taking part of the weekend off to relax last weekend (I was very un-motivated!) we did manage to get some house projects done. Ryan sanded a few more of the cupola windows after I finished filling the nail holes at the top. While he did the sanding I worked on stripping the post attached …
What a LONG weekend! Somehow we managed to get everything done from the weekend checklist – that’s almost unheard of since my lists are so long 🙂 Saturday we started the day with a dump run – so the unseemly pile of wood at the front of our house was reduced more than 1/2 at …
We got a lot done this weekend! Saturday was a short day because we had a dinner obligation up in Concord but we did manage to go car shopping and I got a new car! I got a 2011 Acura RDX which is a crossover SUV. It’s nice and small so it’s easy to drive …
Yesterday while Ryan did some work I got out in the sweltering weather with the pups. They had free reign on the front porch (Fitz stayed inside mostly but Buddy loved watching people walk by). While they did their thing, I painted! I got the second coat of green on after I caulked the frieze …
I took the day off today, my friend Sarah came up and we spent the day chatting and stitching. While I was doing that however Ryan was hard at work around the house. He continued to remove the ceiling of the porch and started putting in some supports for a hammock 🙂 I’m looking forward …
We could not motivate ourselves to do much this weekend unfortunately. Saturday morning was good, Ryan removed some more of the porch ceiling then we went to the lumber yard to get the rest of the wood for the window panels. After that we spent most of the day down at Kimball’s for my work …
We had a wonderful long weekend with family. We drove out to Lake Pleasant Friday, getting there in time for a quick boat ride and a late dinner. Saturday the rest of Ryan’s family showed up and we spent the day on the boat, it was very relaxing. Sunday it rained on and off all …
Another busy weekend working on the house. Saturday we got up nice and early and started working on the siding. First up we had to make the window/door caps. Each piece had to be made and installed then primed. By lunch we had the windowcaps done. After a break for lunch we got to work …
