For those who are reading. sorry that I have not posted since my first. We have had a very busy week. Over the last week, we have spent every bit of time that has not been spent working at our house. We finished pulling staples out of the kitchen floor. Thank goodness Jared helped me with the rest. I love that man even more everyday!! Did I mention he is a very handy man? Anyways, I sanded walls while Jared re-dry walled more walls than we had planned, but nothing is ever how it seems.
The weekend was full of new things. Saturday we started early. I painted the ceilings in the dining room. I had never done this before, and I can't say it was that great. It is done. My arms ached following, but then I took a break and went to dance. Jared stayed and worked more on dry wall. The dining room was already primed from a previous day, so when I returned I found my mom and husband with the first coat of the dining room colors. It was beautiful and felt like such an accomplishment. We finished the dining room painting except for trim and then primed the living room. Not bad for one day's work.
Sunday, we started at the pet expo looking for a new addition to our family. We returned tonight and found a black lab puppy but is not available for adoption until Saturday. Anyways, Sunday we returned to the house to paint more. We painted the living room and primed the kitchen. Jared and my dad ripped things out of the master bath. Jared dry walled again. By the end of Sunday with paint on the walls it was starting to look like a house again. We called it a night before 8 and headed out for Mexican.
Monday, my mom and I returned to the house. I was there by myself for a little while, so I worked on priming the upper window in the entry and over the closet. I really had to talk myself into getting on the ladder and then getting myself up to the window. Oh well, I did it. Then, I started on the second coat in the living room. I love the color, and it only took five to find it. Once my mom arrived, I took a small bathroom break or at least tried. I walked to the bathroom only to find some toilet paper, so I flushed and it was clogged. Water was starting to come out the top and sides, but mom came to the rescue with paper towels and a trash bag. I however was left with a full bladder and making a trip up the street to Burger King for bathroom facilities. No one said that home ownership would be a walk in the park! LOL!! I went back to the house and finished the day by painting the kitchen with the first coat. My mom decided to do the trim on our very tall ceilings and don't know how she did it, but she did it maybe some hanging on the banister/cabinets? Not sure. Finally, to really end Monday Jared and I ended up at Lowe's purchasing our very first appliances, which are all Samsung and energy star efficient minus the stove and microwave on the energy efficient. So, we bought them during tax free week, with coupons, and got a rebate. We got a great deal.
As for the rest of the week, we have hardwood floors to be laid Saturday, bedrooms to paint, and kitchen to finish painting, lots of trim work, and what ever other things decide to pop up. As for me I am headed to bed after a long day. Have a wonderful night!
