This week has been a bit exhausting – at 31 weeks pregnant, once I’ve worked a full day and picked up the little one from daycare, then fed her (and us usually), I really just want to rest. HOWEVER there are things to do! This week I got the 3 closet doors that we brought …
We are on an every-other weekend schedule going out to work on the house and this weekend Alex stayed with her grandparents so we could go out by ourselves and make more progress! It was a productive day and a half for sure. Saturday Ryan worked on trim all day – starting with the master …
(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 …
More progress on the built-ins this weekend! We got the shelves painted (last coat) so we can install them tomorrow. We put in the 5 drawers that were finished (yea – storage!!!). Ryan hooked up the final speaker wires and we ran a new wire for the subwoofer that is hiding behind the couch. All …
It is getting very close now! This last weekend we made some more progress on the tvroom. I got 5 of the 10 drawers sanded, and 2 coats of shellac put on them. Ryan installed the hardware so they’re ready to get installed and we only have 5 more to go 🙂 I also got …
This weekend was a busy one! Between visitors and painting we got a lot accomplished. By the end of Saturday we had the first coat of paint on all of the trim in the tv room, just in time for friends to come over for dinner. Then after Alex went to bed we got the …
And what a night out has been. alex was in a good mood after a good day and she was right on schedule. Ryan gave her a bath while I made dinner, we all ate together then she went to bed. Once she was down we got more painting done in the tvroom. The windows, …
After Alex went to bed tonight I got some painting done in the tvroom. I cut in the ceiling on the 2 sides where the crown is painted (above the couch area), then rolled about 3/4 of the ceiling (same area) before running out of paint. Once that was done I decided to cut in …
Well my last week off of work and Alex got a cold – then passed that cold on to Ryan and I for the weekend. Lovely. So we’ve all had very little sleep (Alex is up every 2 hours at night when she’s sick evidently and prefers to be held). Luckily she’s mostly been …
The tv room floor is officially done, took a couple of hours (sanding, vacuuming then poly) and my back is KILLING me! But it was done by midnight on Sunday while Ryan watched the wee one 🙂 Now we just have to pick out a rug .. oh yea and finish painting 🙂
