Well, we’re back for another fun filled weekend of house work. Nothing big happening… really. Lets see…
It’s Super Bowl weekend which we’ll be attending a party with friends here in Austin. But next year, we’ll probably be throwing one, seeing we got a surprise house warming gift from our friends, Brian and Cara: they bought us a Read more »
A day off… Well, its Sunday afternoon and we’ve had breakfast and went shopping rather looking for our new bedroom furniture. In our first store, the customer service wasn’t too hot as we had been in the store for 5 minute before anyone said anything to us. Even then, we had to go and track down a sales rep. Even if we wanted to buy at that very moment, we 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 »
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
