I Got Something Done This Weekend!

March 23, 2009 at 4:06 pm (House, Weekend)

I’d love to show you pics, but I’m not totally finished and I don’t want to ruin it. I guess I could do “in progress” pics, but I think I’ll just wait till the final reveal. I worked on the upstairs bathroom this past weekend. It looks so good, I’m really impressed with myself! I even hung the new light (took me forever to try to wire it and hold it up there all by myself)…same goes for the new medicine cabinet. But it looks awesome, I’m really happy with it so far. And I love the color Nancy and I chose. She’s my decorating guru at work. She can envision things…I can’t. She did great with this one! So, I still need to do the trimwork and the ceiling and hang some towel bars. Also still need to do the shelving project. I’m debating over the beadboard. I would really love to do it, but I don’t have all the tools I need. It may be a project down the road when I get bored with the bathroom. Pics coming soon!

I Suck At This Blogging Thing

March 9, 2009 at 3:27 pm (House, Weekend)

So, still no house pics. It went from snow to rain, I haven’t taken any, sorry.

In other news, I now have a new roof AND a new water heater, which I’m super excited about. The other one was so loud (from the sediment buildup) that Matt would take a shower at 3am and it would wake me up. It sounded like someone threw tennis shoes in the dryer next to my bed. Anyways, its all better now. Even the water hammer that was driving me crazy is gone. Yeah 🙂

I’m officially broke though. And, we had a windstorm last week and part of my fence fell down. Not good. Actually, I’m not even positive its MY fence, but seeing as its either mine, or my 93 year old neighbor who just had hip surgery’s, I figured I’ll just grab some wood screws and try to fix the damn thing. After pricing out what it would cost to refence my yard, I decided to do some patchwork for a few more years. But man those white vinyl fences look pretty!

Saturday I took a break from the house after the dishwasher was fixed and the new hot water tank installed, and I met my girls out for dinner. It was awful. We could not have had worse service if we tried. Seriously, he didn’t write down any of our orders, then screwed them all up. I hate when waiters/waitresses do that! WRITE IT DOWN! Poor Sam didn’t get any food at all! So we all hit up the bar for some drinks afterward and had a good time. My good time spilled right on over to Sunday morning, and ended with a huge headache at 9am. But it was fun, so it was worth it.

Ok, I’m seriously going to try and post some house pics soon. Really, I am. I won’t be onto the decorating anytime soon, but at least everyone will get to see it.

Till next time…here’s Moo!
