I went to my favorite TROSA Thrift store a couple of weeks ago and spied these couches. Yes they are red. They are both pull out couches and when I removed the cushions I found that they were also sleepers and the beds look brand new still in the plastic. The cushions and the arms, … Continue reading
This year I said I was not going to make New Year resolutions because I never check at the end of the year to see if I kept them. Since it is snowy I should be working on projects in the house but instead I have been studying my blog, which has brought many questions … Continue reading
Today we are having snow and icy rain but they called for a blizzard. We got about 2″ and around these parts that qualifies as a blizzard so my job is closed down for the day. You won’t hear me complaining. I woke up at 5 as usual and pandered around the house a bit, took … Continue reading
The back story: A year ago I did a posting asking people who had products to contact me so I could post links to their pages. No one responded. The real reason I did this was because I came across some stencils in my reader and when I wanted to order them I could not … Continue reading
I been sick as a dog and I am not sure with what. I have these dreadful headaches and nothing is making them go away. And I am sooooo tired all the time. All these days I had off and I just been lounging around supervising the workers. I tried working from home a couple … Continue reading
I like art. Big art. Different art. Cheap art. Dirt cheap large canvas art prints. And I am willing to go out of my way to get it. I love modern Indian Art but I can not afford it. Not in the least bit. I found a print that I liked but it was $9,000 … Continue reading
I recently put my sink in. By myself. I am proud of that. But what I am not proud of is that after I installed it two of the nuts were leaking. I probably did not tighten it enough but I tightened them as far as I was comfortable doing so. I always fear stripping the nuts. … Continue reading
I had stuff in my bathroom everywhere. (ignore the junk in the mirror…I have major construction going on). There’s junk under the sink, on the shower rods, in the shower stall, hanging in baskets, a basket on the back of the toilet and my vitamins on the sink in the kitchen. It was getting out … Continue reading
The guys have not been here for a few days and the weather was perfect: cold but not too cold, and most importantly no rain. Yesterday morning they returned. Not three like normal but 9. Oh Lordy all of this El Salvadore eye candy lurking around my yard. LOL. Anywho… They were determined to put … Continue reading
I went back to work and not being here means the guys show up when they want to. Work has been slow but not so slow because the dining room is nearly finished. The outside is up, the electricity is in, the insulation is in and part of the sheet rock is done. Good news right? (sidenote: … Continue reading
I am still not finished yet but I accomplished a few things while on vacation: I fixed the leak under the sink. It kicked my ass but I fixed it Painted my kitchen white. Remember one of the colors of the year 2016 was named as simply white. I used bright while base with mo … Continue reading
This morning I woke up at 7 AM but then I decided to sleep in because my legs are freaking sore from lifting those sub floors and siding panels yesterday. I could barely make it to the bathroom this morning. My hands are all cut up, swollen and hurting as well. I took two Advil … Continue reading
So I showed you this morning the contractor started with a deck and by the time I woke up and made coffee they had gotten this far. I was still working on my cabinet in the bathroom. What started out as a between the studs shelf turned into a shallow shelf because I would have … Continue reading
Well my house is officially a war zone again. At least it looks like that. The yard has building materials all over the place and the inside of the house is a wreck. Last night I was trying to get the drywall off the wall in the bathroom and I used a grinder. I had … Continue reading
