Now comes the fun part! Tonight we are putting in the cabinets, new light fixture, etc. It all needs to be done by 3 p.m. tomorrow. Sailor/Husband is leaving then for a winter hike in the Appalachian Mountians for a few days, so I imposed the deadline before we started this project so I wouldn't be stuck holding the putty knife! It looks like we'll make it, all the messy stuff is done, the shower is caulked in and even works! We'll be working until 10 pm for sure, but we'll be done by tomorrow, yay!
Pictorial Update:
me sporting my kids' bandana with skulls and flames... Finn said it would make me paint faster
Side-project hubby did today for the dogs, I have been planning this for awhile! I am always coming up with ideas of stuff to make that others can't necessarily picture until it's built, but hubby is great at not questioning my ideas and making them come to life. Great space saver, but would only work with dogs that are friendly dinner companions LOL
Dinner for hungry husband tonight, had to get some veggies & protein in him before tomorrow's backpacking trip. Chicken stir-fry w/frozen garden veggies and potstickers with chili & garlic sauce. Actually got the kids to try a potsticker and a green bean tonight by bribing them with popsicles.
Gotta go, hubby will think I'm slackin' off...
Mmm-mm! Bathroom progress looks good . . . and dinner looks even better! We just finished dinner of meat loaf, scalloped potatoes, beets and applesauce. Everything from the garden except the meat loaf!
ReplyDeleteIt appears I spoke too soon... husband plumbing the sink right now and letting out a stream of choice words, after running to the hardware store twice in the last hour, now wants me to go to the hardware store, and it's 8:30 pm!
ReplyDeleteUh, Oh, late night hardware trips are never good- especially when plumbing is concerned. I hope all goes smoothly from here on out.
ReplyDeleteOh, and nothing wrong with a little bribery every now and then.

Oh boy, we know how those plumbing runs go. Well, on the up-side dinner looked delish and you got something green into the kids. Overall you won the day, hope all is better this morning. MORE PICS!!!!
ReplyDelete(And a photo of one the dogs wearing the flames & skulls bandana on thier head while eating at the new bad-a$$ dog dish would be priceless.)
Oh no, not the endless trips to the hardware store at night! That totally sucks. And you cooked dinner! Goodness, I think I might be in love with you. lol
ReplyDeleteHope Hubs has a safe hiking trip. If we were closer we could all come over and have a girls night.
Things are looking good Erin! I can't wait to see the finished bathroom! I could totally go for some pot stickers right now....yum.
ReplyDeleteJudy, it took 3 trips to the hardware store to convert our plumbing to IKEA-Eurotrash compatible, LOL! Hubby survived. Kelly, definitely pics of flame & skull wearing Australian Shepherds, what's a little more neuroticism in the grand scheme of things? LOL
ReplyDeleteDani, don't tempt me... can't remember the last time I had a girls' night, and looking at my new bathroom makes me want to drink wine and have a pedicure party! Thomas, sad to say, they were frozen potstickers... I wish we were eating the ones you blogged the recipe for!
What a wonderful life you two have built for family! It is so beautiful to watch your world unfold, thanks for sharing so much. Peace
