The House Update # 3...

So it's been awhile...We have been busy...Work, House, Sleep, Work, House, Sleep, repeat.

One day Dustin and I were feeling daring. So we attempted to do the texturing to the ceilings by ourselves, Dustin's Uncle Lloyd was going to help, but to common Dustin fashion he got too impatient and just started doing it. Literally he walked into the house with the stuff already mixed and the gun ready to start shooting.

With the texturizing down we could get onto painting rooms. Sharon and I got the Craft room and Guest room painted. Now onto the Dining room, Hallway, Bathrooms, Kitchen and Living room....goodness, I feel like the painting is never ending.

We have come to the realization that we are not going to be able to afford real hardwood...tear. But we found an awesome alternative which is more durable since we have very active doggies. You lay it down like hardwood in planks but it is just like a vinyl or laminate. It comes in so many different colors. Here is the color that I'm in love with...Allure Flooring.

Until next time...

The House Update #2...

Memorial Day weekend...

After a week of basically doing nothing at The House we got back to work. I was beginning to feel that we were starting too many jobs without getting any of them done. But finally this weekend I started to feel like we were getting jobs done.

Sharon and took all the doors down, hardware off and sanded them down to get them prepared to paint during the next couple of days. We painted the Master Bedroom in French Grey (walls) and Swiss Coffee (trim).

Colors for the House

Dustin fixed the drywall hole in the dinning room he made when figuring out if we could take down the fire place. Then actually walled in the fireplace with drywall.

Overall it was a productive weekend. I felt we got a lot done and still had a social life.

Tuesday May 31 - Sharon took it apon herself to finish removing the popcorn from the hallway and dinning room that Dustin had started but got side tracked from. She did a great job! She now has plans to do the Kitchen in the next couple of days. She has been such a great help, never asking if we needed help, always just showing up and picking up a tool.

This weekend we have my Father's birthday party in Sac on Sunday so I have a feeling not much will get done.

Until next time...
