It is amazing how when we don't blog every day we literally can't remember what we do each day because it all blurs together. This is the case for Monday! All we can remember doing is removing the outlet covers and surely we did more than that!
Tuesday started nice and early for me. Rob set up for the plumber to come around and fix the bathtub on Tuesday morning at 7:30 am and somehow, I ended heading over to let the plumber in while Rob slept peacefully. HA! I call that convenient scheduling on his part. He did say I didn't NEED to go over there, but I am still not sure how the plumber would've gotten in. Long story short... we have a working bathtub!!
Tuesday night Rob got the grass cut back into some normalcy and Mom and Dad came over for dinner and to help us do some electrical work. When we moved in, there were no three-prong, grounded plugs in the living room and one of the bedrooms. It is most helpful when sanding floors to be able to have open access to grounded plugs, so Dad helped us put some in. (OH YEAH... that's what we did on Monday... went to Menard's and picked up all the plugs.) We successfully changed out seven plugs and we have just a few more to go!
Today was a big day at work for me: GRADUATION DAY!! My preschoolers all did great and I arrived to the house much more relaxed with that finished. We accomplished a TON tonight. We got the master bedroom painted (BRIGHT yellow)-- two coats. And we painted the ceiling, which was quite the experience. That was a lot trickier than it looked, but it had to be done. When we took the paneling off there was a lot of exposed pink ceiling that just didn't seem to want to be covered. We tried a few options before opting to just paint the whole ceiling. We also started our last little bit of scraping... the bedroom closet. This was by far the WORST floor in the whole house. It is the smallest amount of space we have to scrape, but it is the thickest and most difficult. I decided whomever tiled either started in the closet when they didn't know what they were doing or they ended in the closet when they just didn't care! We are sooo ready to get the floors finished.
We are really starting to see everything come together and are getting ready to move in. It seems very bizarre that in just a couple of weeks all of our stuff will be in the house and we will be sitting in the living room, watching TV, and we won't be going there every night to work. I made Rob promise me tonight that one of the first weekends, once we get a bit settled we can have one day where we just enjoy the house, the grill, the yard, etc and not do a touch of work. He agreed!
That's all for now...
