Happy 4th!
Yes, we are finally getting back in the groove of working on the house. There are so many things to do, yet not enough time to do them all. Yesterday, I mowed the lawn while Mal cleaned the house. Little did I know that was just the beginning for me. I then started breaking down boxes for the recycle bin, which lead to cleaning the entire garage. I found tools that I didn’t even know I had! LOL… But the good thing is we now are organized and ready for more work moving forward.
After the garage was cleaned, I started working on Read more »

Sunday rolled around, I did some more coding and made an impromptu trip to Lowe’s only to find out that our cabinets had been put on clearance. Yes, CLEARANCE, and those cabinets will be discontinued once all stores sell out! So if you have a kitchen project and were looking to head off to Lowe’s for cabinets, you better there and get there soon. They will carry a new line of cabinets moving forward.
Okay, you know as soon as I found out, I went a found a flat bed cart, and begin loading up for the rest of the kitchen! My cart looked much like the Beverly Hillbillies truck! LOL 
Feeling good about the money we saved on picking up cabinets for a steal, I even picked up Read more »

This past weekend was one for the record books in regards to Love, Rest, and Life.
Friday, we had dinner with Chad, Kel, and Maddie. Maddie is growing so much. She’s now sitting up on her own and holding her bottle. In a lil’ bit, she’ll be talking up a storm and takin’ her first steps. Time flies… when we’re having fun with Maddie! Talking about time well spent…
Saturday, Mal and I had a very special Valentine’s weekend and she surprised me with Read more »

Hey there! Here is question for each of you: Has the house changed, and if so, what has been the biggest surprise about the remodel so far? And if any of you say me doing the work, then I’m turning everyone into the IRS! Just kidding… but I thought I might get a rise from a few of you by making such a comment and seeing tax time is here again!!! :)
The last few days have been a blur for us! Mal is back and our house is back to being consistent. Brice and Butter were soooooo glad to see Mal and I definitely was glad to see her too! And this morning, the landscaping guys came back to start on the backyard or at least give us a quote for the backyard landscaping. I told them I wanted to shift gears and get a quote for the front yard sprinkler since the dogs area has not been built in the backyard and they would end up destroying all of their good work.
But there was some else I wanted to tell you all… Lets see… what was this post suppose to be about?????? Hmmmm…. having trouble here… Oh yes, that’s what it was about:

Like most people, we get the “what happened” or “what is the latest on the house” or “how is the house coming along”…
Well, here we go… We were to suppose to work on hanging all doors, build/install master closet, install baseboards, and grouting the remainder. Hmm… long way from it, but we did get some things done this weekend. Of course we made our trip to Lowes and Home Depot on Friday night and loaded up on the supplies we would need for Saturday and Sunday projects… like two kids in a candy store! :)
First…, Read more »
