Home Improvement

Well another day, more progress. Dad and Bill are going like gangbusters on the shower surround (or as Edith calls it, the sound around.)

The tub surround starts going up!

We all can’t wait till it’s done! It’s kind of a slow process, especially for something called an Easy Install Surround! Bill’s glad we didn’t buy the Hard Install Surround! He he he! Anyways, it is definitely coming along. After quite a bit of research, this seemed the best option for dealing with the window sitting so low into the shower. It’s something that goes up (fairly) easily and could be cut to fit the window. More work was done on the office walls too! Even Estela got into the act, mudding some of the closet.

Not bad for a girl that doesn't like to get her hands dirty!

Yet again, it was another day where Everyone did a lot more than we did (which was about nothing.) Estela and I only ended up going to Home Depot to pick out hardware for the shower. We got some cool handles that match the knobs on the sink. Oh, and Bill and Edith gave us the gift of a new toilet. Thanks guys! They know me well… it is truly a gift that keeps on giving (or should I say taking? I’m sorry, that was bad. I really should avoid the toilet humor. Oh no, I can’t stop the toilet jokes!!! Make it stop.) Wow, now that I’ve regained what little sanity I had, I’ll continue.

Mom and Edith finished up the painting on the living room, it looks so awesome. I don’t know why, but we loooooooooooooooooooove the high gloss white. Thank you Behr for making a great product and thank you Home Depot for having a good sale on it. Anyhoo, another day down and big steps made. We are getting closer and closer every day. As my dad said the other day, “We can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s not even a train!” Ha ha, he has an interesting sense of humor. I guess that’s where some of mine comes from… We look forward to getting some more done and maybe even moving in. I know, it’s a crazy idea. Buying a house to actually live in, not just work on. That’s just crazy talk. Maybe I should lay off the Miller Lite! Oh well, we’ll keep you updated. Post ya later.
