Weekend

Well, we had a productive weekend, but I feel like we still have a ton to do! Saturday was a shopping day. I bought some new clothes at JJill, Steve got a new cell phone, and we made a trip to Trader Joes…had to stock up on essentials like carne asada, organic whole wheat spaghetti, and brown basmati rice. Sunday on the other hand was a working day. We got some more stuff moved into the Tuff Shed, got a solar powered light installed in the Tuff Shed, sanded and painted 2 doors (we still have no doors on any rooms adjacent to the hallway except our bedroom), mowed the lawn, and installed the nailing strip for the crown molding. We’re hoping to get the two doors hung tonight, but every time we change out door hardware, the door never seems to close correctly. The new hardware never seems to line up the same way as the old hardware…I guess we’ll see how it goes. Well, I think that’s all the excitement around here. Maybe with some luck we’ll have some crown molding up next weekend!I can’t wait to have this project done…our house is a complete disaster and everything is need of a DEEP cleaning!

Lights & Crown Molding

We finally got our lights this weekend. I really like the way they look and with 7.5W bulbs they put out just the right amount of light. We put motion sensors in the hall so the sconces will automatically come on when someone starts walking down the hall. It’s really nice! Unfortunately one light doesn’t quite work right, so we’re trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. Here are some pictures of our lights.

So we are still trying to pick out crown molding for the hall and office. Here are the 5 we were looking at. I think we are leaning toward one of the last three. What do you think?

And here’s a picture of Sam. He decided to sleep in our laundry basket on top of all the dirty clothes!
