    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!  :)

    Just the name of the project alone is sure to raise an eyebrow if not start a space war!  :)  I’m just glad to say that hopefully by Sunday, if not by the end of the day Saturday, this project will be a thought of the past and mentioned no more: His/Her Closet Project.  We currently have makeshift spacing with the help of Walmart and their inexpensive organizers.  But we can soon kick that organization goodbye with our very own custom closet cabinets.  I’ll definitely be sure to post pics although the cabinets pieces have already be cut and painted.  Now they await assembly and installation in the closet.  Wooohooo! And yes, we’ll post pics.

    And next on the the list: Interior doors for Master Closet & Toilet, Master Bedroom, Half Bath, Living Closet, and Washroom.  Whew… If I don’t know how to hang a door after all of these, then shoot me!  Just kidding… I definitely want to go and see Jesus… but not that way!  :)  I’m sure each door will have it’s set of challenges but we’ll get’em done.

    And in between projects, I’ll probably cut, paint, install, and caulk baseboards.

    And last but not least, GROUTING!  YUCK!  We still have the entrance, kitchen, washroom, breakfast, dining, half-bath and fireplace to go.  Need I say more?  Well, I’m not so there you have it!  My hands cringe to spend another weekend grouting!  But it has to get done.  We’ll see if I have to write another post next week talking about grouting! :)  I surely hope not… but we’ll see what next weekend brings after this one.

    Until our next post, go and check out our progress and leave us comments…  al
