Well we are still moving ahead and getting everything done in the house. yesterday and the day before we ripped out the old bathroom which has expanded the back bedroom tremendously and made our tv/spare room a nice size. We are going to put the hide a bed in there with Matthews desk and a TV and our xbox so we can play games and relax a bit.
Tearing down the wall was a hard thing to do and the mold that we found underneath the old tub surround was just disgusting and well really not a big shock considering what use to live here and who did the work, what an ass he is.
We are going to have a slip cover made for the hide a bed in a silvery blue and then i want to paint the floors white or grey, the walls 3 a dark brown and one a silver blue and then we have a really nice grey throw rug for there, I think it will look nice when completed.
Kitchen is coming along great as well and most of all the electrical on the main floor has been run, the rest is put on hold for this month as I need to but special wire for the wall oven and hood fan, we also need to purchase a hood fan and get it up there, so much to do, but man it is going to be so worth it, I just love our little house.
The garden is coming up great and I have frozen many bags of swiss chard and beans thus far, we have also enjoyed a lot of radishes and fresh spinach and lettuce on a daily basis. The cucumbers are coming up now and we got at least 5 really big ones thus far and there are so many more out there, I am going to have to learn how to make pickles this year, yay homemade pickles, can't wait for those.
Turnips and cauliflower is also coming up really good along with the cabbage, carrots and beets. I am so proud of our little garden. Flower beds and lawn which I planted in the back yard are also doing great and I got my minature roses to grow and start blooming.
Anyhow today will be a day of dry walling and taping and mudding upstairs and get the done. Also need to make a linen cupboard at the top of the stairs outside the bathroom. I am so excited by what we have done because we litterally got to plan and make this house exactly what we wanted and it is now ours. May do a little electrical for what i have the wiring for but who knows.
Headaches are still fairly bad for me and sleep is eratic, but at least I am getting some, just never enough it seems. The new pills I tried form the doctors did not work at all and I am a little sad by this but life goes on and so do I.
Also want to send out a congrats to Mara and Jeff who are getting married this Sunday, our fab neighbors and great friends. The perfect couple and what I would call a Barbie and Ken, they just have it all, looks and personality, and I do mean both of them. But my oh my , Mara is probably the hottest mother on the block.
Anyways hope you both have a great wedding and congrats to you , wishing you years of happiness from Matt and I.
Well thats all for now Folks, have a great week and a splendid weekend and I will be back with more blogging very soon.
