Day 15 Recap

Today started out being another day of doing finishing work on the cabinets.........a lot of the rest of the work depended on the counters being installed & we are waiting on some extra molding that had to be ordered.  Jim figured they would put on knobs & door handles & clean up so that after lunch Davey could grout the floor & no one would be walking on it.  We had resigned ourselves to the counters not coming until next week.  Around 1:15 PM I got a call telling me the counters would be here between 11:00 & 3:00 tomorrow.  So plans were changed & Davey grouted just the stove & refrigerator areas & will now do the rest of the floor tomorrow....assuming they get here closer to 11:00!!



Now I have my stove in temporarily......the outlet behind has to be wired.

Check out the lights....Jim didn't like the way they looked yesterday so he switched them all out for something else.  I think they look much better!
This side of the kitchen doesn't have crown yet....that's what we are waiting for.
Check this out....I'm cooking pasta for Popster dinner!  Do you like my counter Jim put in for me??  What a guy....he thinks of everything!!  Rumor has it I will actually have running water tomorrow!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
