Did I mention my parents finally making a decision on furniture for our family room in the last month or so? Whether I did or didn't isn't important what is important is that we got our furniture Thursday and Friday night I finally used the new couch. I watch the Olympics on the new TV we got too. We need to get the cable guy back out to fix how ( Read more... )

Checking in here from the local Panara Bread. It's freaking cold here with the AC going full blast. We have some new flooring being put in the house in our family room and the desktop is offline so I can't get online at home. Hopefully, we'll be up and running again tomorrow night at the latest. I doubt they'll get far enough to allow us to get ( Read more... )

Looking for actual colors and styles that will end up in my bathroom and my bedroom is more of a chore than I realized. It's a lot of looking at samples and colors and patterns. Right now nothing in my bathroom matches. The shower curtain is white (I like it because I picked it out a while back), the counter top is thirty some odd year old white ( Read more... )

The more I realize what is involved in redoing my bathroom and updating my bedroom the more I don't want to do it. There are way too many decisions to be made that it's making my head spin. What color do I want for my walls. Do I want green or blue or something totally different. What type of faucets and shower heads do I want in my bathroom. ( Read more... )

I just realized that I forgot to update the last couple of days. There goes my updating every single day this month. Well, to be honest that was out the window a week ago this past Sunday. I was shooting for every day but one this month. Anyhow, there's not much to report here on the home front. The carpenter is at the house today putting up a ( Read more... )

Good news sports fans if I really wanted to I can cook a pizza now. Of course I don't have any place to put the pizza once it's been cooked but the first appliance is in and the cabinets are nearly finished. Yes ladies and gentlemen we have a kitchen. So I took some photographs again to update the masses on the latest progress of said kitchen. ( Read more... )

Yes folks that's right we have cabinets in our house. Mom says it's weird to not see the peninsula we used to have. They wanted an island they got their island. I'll have to give you guys a pictorial update when I go home tomorrow afternoon. It's been way cold here lately. The last I checked the old thermometer it was -8 degrees outside ( ( Read more... )

Got an e-mail from my mom today. Things are going along smoothly with the house. Three or four guys are coming tomorrow to hang the cabinets. This is all very good news because it means come Friday I can go home for good!! That in and of itself is a very good thing because I totally need to get some things done before we head off for Florida. ( Read more... )

Yeah I know that's a pretty fangirly sounding title there but I can fanhurl over tile. WE HAVE TILE ON THE FLOOR WE HAVE TILE ON THE FLOOR!!! Fangirling aside the correct tile came in this morning according to mom and they have most of the kitchen finished. I'm still going to go home Friday as planned. Now all we need to do is get those ( Read more... )

It doesn't mean he won't screw up and royally at that. I was home today and no there are no pictures of the progress even if the new wall color looks nice. We got a call from the contractor. It was one of those "Hey guess what I can deliver your tile in thirty minutes" calls. It was the best news we had heard all day. We were ecstatic because ( Read more... )
