House updates


Well, since we moved in the "honey-do list" has been getting longer and longer. However, we are making some sort of progress, I guess. We finished some storage closets above our garage as our first big project in the house. It took us the better part of 3 days if I remember correctly. Thanks Pop for all the help!! Now that they are done they are full of who knows what. Next I painted the kids rooms. Sarah's is green stripes, same color but two different sheens. Andrew's is just plain taupe. I just need to finish decorating them. Our next few projects are putting up a fence, adding on to our deck, acquiring an outdoor shed, and building new cabinets. My hopes are to be done before all the Christmas company, but we will see how that goes...lol. Some of the ongoing projects we are working on include making our lawn look green and not brown and changing out all the brass to an aged bronze. I'm excited I just bought new ceiling fans and chandeliers. Nothing special, but better than the brass, in my opinion. Enjoy the photos. (note: the photos of the new fans/lights are of the box.)
Andrew's Room


Sarah's Room



The sheetrock is done. We primed the walls and ceiling and put in a linoleum floor and trim.


The storage units after we installed the insulation. It started out with only 2X4s that you see in the back, the blue stuff and the floor.


Our new ceiling fans. Yes they are the same as the ones we bought for our house in AK. What can I say, I like them and the price is right. lol


Our new Formal Dining Room chandelier.


The new chandelier for our eat-in kitchen
