Short Update

Sadly, I don't have any pictures today. I'm covered in paint and using the hubby's computer so I don't really have the desire or access to pictures. However, I am excited about the progress we've made!

1. Painted the first coat on the ceiling in the bedroom.
2. Primed the ceiling and walls in the bathroom.
3. Continued caulking the trim on walls and door frames.
4. Cleared out massive amounts of stuff from the house- got rid of most of the furniture (the rest will be in the garage sale) and got a number of boxes out of the house.
5. We removed the horribly stained, horribly smelly area rugs out of the house. And removed all curtains. The dog smell is starting to fade! Hallelujah!
6. We are just about ready for the garage sale! It's on Friday and Saturday from 7am-2pm if you know me, are in the area, and are interested. More details will be on Facebook tomorrow!

I said in a comment that all I really knew how to do so far was paint and unscrew things. But, today I learned how to caulk! Not a massive skill to learn... but my resume just increased in size by 33%. lol.

That's all for today, but I'll have another update (with pictures!) very soon!

Tile, Better Pictures, and a Future Giveaway!

Ready for a look at our beautiful tile? It hasn't been put on the wall yet, but here's a sneak peak:

This is the border that will be put near the top of the shower area.

Here is what it will look like, with two rows of the thicker stuff above the border and many rows underneath.

I love it, I think it's gorgeous. And considering what the bathtub looks like now... it really can only improve.

 

I haven't shown you the scary part yet. We'll get there when we post final "after pics".

Yesterday, Joey discovered what can only be described as ant-pocalypse. I have never in my life seen so many ants, thank goodness they were outside! However, he carried out a perfect mass extermination and now they are all gone!

There hasn't been much that has been picture worthy over the last few days. We've still been sorting and packing the house. However, today we'll be able to get the furniture out. After hearing how panicked I was about finding out that we had to move all of the furniture out of the house we're moving into, my mom was gracious enough to rent us a truck for today! So, we'll be off to get that and get to work very soon!

You may have noticed that my pictures aren't completely terrible today! I'm borrowing my brother's amazing Cannon Rebel. It's fabulous and I love it. I don't fully know how to use it yet, but I'm getting there.

Two last things before I go get back to this never ending work:

1) Check out my new "About" section tab up at the top, it's nifty.
2) At some point in the near future I'm going to have a giveaway. However, I'm not going to do one until I have more followers and it will only be open to followers. So, if you aren't a follower but you read my blog... go click on the little "Follow" button on the right! It'll make me happy!
