I can't believe it's already September first. How did that happen? Heh. It's been a busy summer; I work full time, and then every weekend is spent renovating the house. Mostly, it's minor stuff; Every room except the master bedroom and guest bedroom has been repainted, and we're not going to bother with those two for a while. The kitchen, was completely redone, down to getting rid of the crappy appliances we had and getting new ones (Leon's had a killer sale). The addition is now repainted; it was the one room which didn't look like it had ever been touched by the previous owners. Every other room was painted sometime in the last few years but the addition had the original late 70s paneling... well, now it's done.
James has been a wonderful electrician and replaced all the outlets, switches, and covers, as well as all the light fixtures, in the whole house (except the kitchen which was fine). The roof is redone. The only eyesore is now the bathroom; it's got a new floor and wallpaper (remind me to NEVER TRY TO HANG WALLPAPER AGAIN) and toilet, but the tub and vanity top/sinks are still crappy yellowish gelcoat fiberglass and at some point next year we'll fix that, too.
The nursery is just awaiting a crib, and a baby. Yay!
But I'm pretty tired... I just want it all to be done. Thank goodness for the long weekend.
I hope everybody out there is well :)
