Christmas is done, back to the project!



     We have had two good work days at the project house. We painted ceilings yesterday, Michelle didn't like how the bathroom and kitchen ceilings looked, as some of the seams weren't exactly perfect. . She ended up mixing the ceiling paint and with joint compound and used a texture roller on the ceiling. We now have textured ceilings that look great and now all the ceilings are textured. We were also able to get a coat of paint on the living room walls.
     While were at Lowe's yesterday getting more ceiling paint we were looking at the unfinished  cabinets  and the clerk informed us that all the cabinets were 20 percent off right now, so we ended up buying all the kitchen cabinets today. It took three trips  to Lowe's to get them all to the house. The first picture shows the base cabinets. The middle cabinet sticks out as we  were not able to put it all the way back against the wall as the plumbing is coming up through floor there. We ended moving all these cabinets into the spare room  with the upper cabinets. We got the first coat of paint in the kitchen and dining room and a second coat of paint on the living room.
      Tonight we ended up going back over to the house as we forgot to bring home a couple of paint brushes that needed to be cleaned. I ended up getting the car stuck in the snow in the driveway. We ended going over to the neighbors and asking him if he could pull us out with his truck. He got us out, so luckily didn't have to spend the night in Leavittsburg. It has been a long day, we are not going over there tomorrow. We will go back at it on Monday!

  1. It's really looking good. Are you sure you don't want to spend a month in (not-so) sunny California? We could find you another remodeling project to do!
