We went out to work on the house this weekend but had a holiday party to attend Saturday night so it was a short day of progress. Still progress none-the-less. Ryan started with installing the door for the back bedroom. We’re using new doors for the 3 doors across the back hallway and the installation …
The new year started out about the same as last year – a weekend trip up to the NH house to work 🙂 We had Alex with us so I mostly just spent time with her and Ryan worked. He got the final coat of spackle on the upstairs hallway (above the staircase). During ‘naptime’ …
This weekend we brought along the peanut and she was a big help 🙂 Don’t ever change alex – you are too perfect 🙂 We had a busy day Saturday. Alex and I ran to home depot while Ryan started with some spackling. We have this tough to reach spot at the top of the …
Well we had a bit of a break on the house work with Ryan needing back surgery and then getting it. His recovery is going great though and this past weekend we took a day to drive out and work on the house, leaving Alex in NY with grandparents. We drove out friday night in …
Ryan and I had our first kid free weekend since Alex was born! And that weekend involved driving to NH to work on the house – and Ryan’s back is still out. It was definitely worth it though, although the 5 hour drive back was horrible (it’s normally under 3 hours). We drove out Friday …
Back to NH this past weekend and of course it rained on Saturday 😉 Ryan’s back is still out – worse this weekend than the last! I was able to get some painting done though. On Saturday I vacuumed the master bedroom ceiling/walls and then got them primed! My plan in there is to save …
(Edited to add pictures!!!) With the rain every weekend really messing with plans and cold weather coming soon I decided a week ago to just do the deck anyway, it’s a covered porch so the majority of it would be just fine and hopefully the rain would hold off anyhow (spoiler : it didn’t). Well …
OK so the trouble with driving out to work on the house for a day and then driving back – means I always forget to take pictures! Arg! 2 weekends in a row now! I don’t want to forget what we did so I’ll update anyhow and hopefully next weekend I’ll remember pics. We’ve been …
Been a while since I updated! We were just very busy with working on the house, moving, vacation, moving some more. The week after insulation we spent prepping for sheetrock. The first day of our vacation I spent the first 1/2 the day finishing the electrical (wiring smoke detectors, washer, dryer, last light). All the …
Our last chunk of insulation is done! If you don’t count the windows – we’ll have to insulate around the windows ourselves with cans because their sprayer was broken but we weren’t charged for it so no biggie. Either way – we are very close to ready for sheetrock now! Hopefully this weekend we can …
