Wednesday was a very busy day. First Ryan did a bunch of cleanup/moving stuff to prepare for demo (out on the roof mostly). Then after lunch he started the actual demo with a break for dinner. After the little one was in bed he finished the last 2 walls and I helped with the cleanup …
Friday and Saturday we rented a lift to complete some up high projects around the house. First up Ryan got a coat of paint on the shakes on the driveway side and the molding up under the soffit. Some sections of that molding aren’t done yet but they are easier to get off a ladder …
We put the final coat of poly on Sunday night! Ryan sanded when we got back from NY and I got it vacuumed and poly’d while he put Alex to bed! It’s done! And great timing, we can let it dry/cure for the week and we’ll definitely be using it a bit by next weekend! …
It’s not as shiny because it’s drying much faster. It’s also a bit lighter after the sanding I think. I don’t think the 3rd coat will get done before the weekend, maybe Sunday night. This coat took a while with the sanding and vacuuming and it was just me this morning. It looks very smooth …
The stain wasn’t quite dry enough last night to do the first coat of poly so I took an hour and a half this morning and got it done by myself and Ryan took Alex to daycare to save me some time. It went pretty well, the first coat doesn’t need sanding/vacuuming before hand so …
This weekend was awesome! Mom and Dad came out for the weekend and it was a very productive weekend! We started with this…. Dad and Ryan spent Saturday sanding the floors down … they came out great (and completely even) Sunday we cleaned them up really well (all dust gone) and then Dad and I …
Not a lot of house progress this past weekend because we were potty training and Ryan had to work most of the weekend. I did manage however to work during naptimes and our neighbor came over on Friday and painted windows. 9 windows got a single coat of interior paint done (the exterior is already …
Oh Sunday – such a ‘lazy’ day 🙂 We went out to breakfast per usual but this time with the whole gang. Alex and Ryan got their haircut after breakfast and then home for some play time with the cousins. At naptime Ryan’s parents headed home with the girls and I started hanging lights. I …
It was a Williams’ family weekend! Ryan’s parents brought my nieces out for the weekend to entertain Alex and we got plenty of painting done while the kids were happily playing together! Added bonus, we got extra family time in! Friday night everyone showed up in time for dinner, so we ate and played and …
It’s crunch time, I don’t want to be painting the week before the party (the smell of new paint can linger), so the last painting will be at latest Monday night (if we need to finish something up from the weekend). So that means this week is crunch time painting wise and next week I’ll …
