Bathroom......Yeah!!

We finally got the claw foot tub moved into the 1 of the new bathrooms. Yeah!! We have been using a temporary bathroom for about 6 months. The dogs were the last ones to get a bath where the tub used to be and i had to be the first to get a bath once it was moved. Tomorrow is Easter so we won't be working. Yeah!! We will be going to Nana's for an Easter eggs hunt after we have one at our house. Happy Easter Everyone!! TTYL Kat

Our weekend was busy

Our weekends are always busy. Our kids always complain that they hate weekends because we make them work. I tell them that mommy & daddy work everyday so they shouldn't complain. The first picture is an outfit that Isabelle picked out. (she is allowedto dress herself but we get final approval) The second picture is some roses that we planted. The 3rd picture is the boys weeding 1 side of the flower beds. I didn't get to bring the 10+ year old rose bush from the old house. It was so big and always had lots of beautiful roses. When i get done with the flower beds there will be 4 roses on each side. The 4th picture is the kittens. They are 5 1/2 weeks old. They are still nursing but have started eating solid food. We finally went and brought the scaffling to our house from Nana's. That's where we have been keeping it when we aren't using it. The kids wanted to help daddy so bad but finally had to be told not to play on it. We bought 2 of the 8 porch columns that need to be replaced. Mike is starting to take down the porch in small areas to see how bad it is. TTYL Kat

Just alil bit

The first picture Marissa took of the kittens when they were 2weeks old. They change so much every day. We will find them new homes around the end of april .(if anyone wants 1 let me know)
The next picture is the bathroom Mike has been working on. He got the vent cover installed and the ceiling lights along with the wall lights. He is working on the old trim that was around the door and window removing the nails and layers of old paint.

The bathrooms

Mike and I have been working on different rooms. I am working on the room that we now use as the bathroom that will be our closet. Mike is working on the Granda suite bathroom. The first 2 pictures are him mudding and sanding the dry wall. I don't know where the pictures are of him dry walling the room. I'll have to check Patrick's camera when he gets home. The 3rd picture is Mike priming the walls. The grandma's suite will be a mauve pink so we went with a light pink for the bathroom. The tile is called Fawn beige but look tan. Mike is in the process of grouting right now. It's a cream color. The step up in the back is where the clawfoot tub is going. The next picture is what i've been working on. I've had to scrub the trim with clorox before i could paint. The door that I painted dark green leads into our bedroom. I am painting the trim a light brown color and the walls will be a not so dark green. The hallway door i got the transom to open. I removed the hardware and scrapped some paint. I'm thinking of painting the hardware black to make it stand out. I thinks i should go hang the laundry out and get back to work.
Later taters
