Last week while I was in CA for work, Ryan worked on my Mother’s Day surprise – our bedroom and most specifically our closet! The hard part, sanding, priming and sanding trim was all done when I got home Friday! We spent the weekend trading off painting time and kid playing time – getting the …
It’s our annual April vacation where the kids go to daycare and we stay home and work on the house – coincides with our birthdays. This year the focus was on the master suite (just a few more weeks and we’ll have our own room!). Monday was Alex’s birthday so we did a family fun …
This past weekend was a busy one! Thursday night Ryan finished installing the trim in front of the tub and I got all the trim caulked and holes filled. Friday Brad sanded and primed all the trim. Friday night Ryan and I finished the master closet ceiling bead board installation and moved tools downstairs. The …
Finally a post with house pictures! This weekend while I was away Ryan surprised me by finishing the trim in the linen closet and having Brad prime/paint it along with the door (and the door to Alex’s room which still needed paint!). I just have to finish the outlets in there, set up the lights …
I’ve really fallen behind on blogging! And it’s too bad since we took a staycation from work off in November to work on the house (tiling) so I should have updated then – it was a long week though. So this post will just be a catch up of progress since the last one – …

Well we had planned to hire someone to sheetrock but they never got back to us and after missing our first appt we didn’t like the track record of having to re-schedule or re-reach out ourselves (I did reach out by email asking about the quote and got no response) so I guess he didn’t …
I’ve been very neglectful in updates because I didn’t have pictures and I haven’t been there for 99% of the work that’s been done… partly because Ryan’s dad has done so much for us! One afternoon he went over and demo’d all the exterior walls because we had decided we’d do that and spray foam… …
The weekend before last we spent all day Saturday working on filling our dumpster … so bathroom demo time! We got a good portion of the upstairs bathrooms demo’d and I took up carpet tacks and trim off of 2 of the bedrooms upstairs when there was no room in a bathroom for 2 people …
