Home Improvement

Dang, My parents were busy today… even with dad avoiding painting a lot got done! Just kidding dad! Mom kept giving him tasks so he conveniently got out of painting today. Hmm, how’d he work that? I’ll have to find that one out. I’m sick of painting. Anyways, mom went painting crazy. We’ve got the new carpet coming tomorrow so everything has to be ready for that. After carpet, we begin moving in. Woo hoo!!! Saweet! Anyways, almost everything that still needed painting got painted. After work, I helped give the office another coat of  the glossy, it looks awesome. The texture came out even better than I thought! Now, I can’t wait for the carpet. That’s basically what today was geared towards, getting ready for the carpet to come tomorrow. I wish I could watch it get installed, but it will be nice to come home after work and rolling around on it! I can’t wait to take off my shoes and socks and make fists with my toes. That’s for all you Die Hard fans out there (one of my all time favorite movies!!!) Anyways, not much to show pictures of today but here’s a few shots of the great sunset as shot from the street in front of the house. I love the view from there.

And on that note, I’m gonna finish my Bud Light crash out. Good night y’all, we’ll post ya later.

Well, sorry this is a few days late in the coming. I’ve been too exhausted by the time I get home. I’m out as soon as I take a shower. I even came close to sleeping through work! At least we made it to work on time. Mom and dad were busy while we were at work. They got a lot more painting done, and Dad finished up laying the tile in the bathroom (it’s looking awesome!) Estela’s parents got more work done in the front yard. Estela’s mom even found another rose bush hidden in the front yard. It’s amazing what you find when you mow the lawn! (You might be a redneck…)

Estela and I finally got to play with the texturizing paint. We used another BEHR product. We should by stock… Are you feeling the love BEHR? Anyways, it worked really well. It took a few minutes of playing around with, we got the hang of it. The paint is like a really thick mud and you use the crazy roller brush in the picture to roll it on. You have to find a bit of a balance of how much you get on the roller and how much you work it. Be ready for a bit of a mess if you try this at home kids. Wear safety glasses! It’s pretty cool. We had been thinking about using the sprayer, but we all think this was a way better option. Less prep time, and definitely less clean up!

Anyways, I’m beat and my bed is beckoning… We’ll post ya later.
