We got the cupboards up! I measured and cut the metal rod with the hack saw. Willem helped me hold it as we screwed it into the top beam of the wall. That was a long time ago. Hours, now ( Read more... )

I debated going to the dump or selling soap. It was dreary and rainy until about 8:40am, so it was a no brainer that I was staying home. But then when the sun came out, I wasn't sure ( Read more... )

I am at Home depot, having gotten the screws for the cupboards and returned the double switch. Good. Ben is busy at lunch today so I can't see him. I'm going to go get the oil changed now. I am also going to look at windows in quebec, I think. I need a window for that upstairs bedroom.

I drove Abe to town to Alida's, then went to Home Depot for the hardware to hang up the cupboards. I bought four more 36" long by 15" deep ones as well as a narrow upright one that might fit beside the freezer...I hope ( Read more... )

Those cupboards are on sale for $39 each! I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to buy some more, mix and matching as needed! I headed back to the store, but this time I measured everything first. I figured out what I had and where it would go, as well as what else was needed ( Read more... )

When Brian came, I had expeced Eileen to come too, but she thought I'd be off buying cupboards. Anyway, he found that the bar that extends in the ceiling to hold the fan was missing a part ( Read more... )

I went to Canadian Tire for stuff for the fixtures and for the wiring in the kitchen. While I was gone, Brian put the holes in the ceiling and fished the wires through the ceiling. It's wonderful to see this idea taking shape! He put the power back on before he left for the day ( Read more... )

I have not accomplished ANYTHING all day! I got up at 11. I called Mom. I got a prank call trying to get control of my computer ( Read more... )

I took stuff to the dump and stopped to remove the magnets from the refridgerator door of one fridge. I have three long manget strips now, which I'll use to attach my cupboard doors to the wooden shelves.
