Well it only took forever (4 separate times actually) but the priming in the tvroom is done! Friday during one of Alex’s naps I was able to start priming again, getting a good portion done (2 doorways and some baseboards). Then after Ryan got home I continued that evening, getting all of the crown finished, …
What a weekend we have had! Baby girl has been busy! Saturday morning Ryan got up early and made 2 trips to the dump to get rid of wood we had laying around making the outside look much better (all though we still need to mow!) Then he got the last small piece of crown …
Since we went back to NY last weekend, we had no house updates, evidently that’s the only time I blog 🙂 This weekend however we stayed home and made some decent progress, even with Ryan having some last minute/unexpected work on Sunday to do. One thing that makes it easier to work on the house …
Yes we spent most of the weekend watching series 1 and 2 of Sherlock and loving it 🙂 We also did some shopping on saturday for running shoes and a quick trip to the mall. On Sunday Ryan finished the baseboards in the tvroom and the closet trim (minus the rosettes – we have to …
Of fan trouble that is. It’s kind of crazy how this saga ends (see fan saga here). After working with Lutron to get our Maestro fan/light double dimmer switch working, which failed by the way, they left me with one last idea. They said the way it’s behaving it’s acting like there’s interference from a …
The second week is wrapping up (man does time fly fast) and little Alex is now 5lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. Her 2 week appointment went great and she doesn’t have to go back for 6 weeks (2 month appt). She’s eating great (9-11 times a day) and obviously growing fast. She doesn’t …
A huge THANK YOU to my dad and brother this week, without whom we never would be so close to not only finishing the nursery but also the tvroom now! The house is so quiet now that the week has ended and everyone has headed home (PJ left Thursday night and Dad left this evening). …
Our little Alex just couldn’t wait to join us and at 37 weeks pregnant my water broke while I was at work (at 2pm). Since I’m only in the office 2 days a week this was unexpected and such a surreal experience. With no contractions the doctor said I could drive to the hospital, so …
So a long while ago I mentioned having a problem with the ceiling fan installation in the tvroom. It’s a 3-way circuit using this fancy Lutron Maestro Fan/Light combo switch with an accessory switch and fan canopy. I had successfully installed one in the gym (not a 3-way though) so when the tvroom one didn’t …
Ryan had to work this past weekend so I was QUITE surprised when I got home to find progress on the tvroom! The first thing I could see was a baseboard across the front of the built-in – YES!!! Finally, no more Fitz toys stuck under there 🙂 The baseboards aren’t complete because he couldn’t …
