all posts relevant to ‘house’

so, we purchased a garage door. it was a demo unit at a local door store called, “the door house.” their retail store is painted purple with multi colored stripes and accents. guess what the demo door we purchased looks like?

NEEDS. PRIMER. NOW.

quick quiz: which garden tool will i be spending the next few days with?

sadly, not my hoe.

okay, here’s a sneak preview of the kitchen. the marble & backsplash have 3 coats of sealer, so it’s essentially done.

for those that have seen the kitchen “before” you know this is a big deal. heh.

21 days until our trip, and we’ve got momentum on the big projects. the kitchen is still sitting at around 90% complete. have to caulk, paint, and install the stick-down floor. oh and finish sealing the countertops/backsplashes.

bathroom is where it’s really happening. tub surround and floor are tiled & grouted. tub plumbing (supply & waste) are done & solid (no leaks). lighting & GFCI outlet installed.

drywall installed, taped & first mud coat (thanks, ross!). shower tile & grout partially sealed. tonight, 2nd coat of mud (thanks again, ross!) finish sealing grout & tile. then maybe switch our attention back to the kitchen while we wait for the bathroom floor sealer to cure.

fun! i look forward to not working 15 hrs/day on the weekends. this vacation will truly be a vacation!

sometimes i wonder what previous owners were thinking when they did these things.

on second thought … i don’t really want to know.
