It's Snowing....

Ok so it's Va and probably won't stick. I hope it's the only snow we see this winter. I think it maybe time to turn the heat on. LOL

This past weekend we finally got the grandma suite cleaned out. It was the room we were keeping all the wood we are keeping (trim...trim..and more trim). Door trim...window trim....It all needs to be striped and painted and reinstalled. Most of it went to the attic.

Now if it wasn't so cold i would get started in there. To stay warm i have started my holiday baking.

Finally finished the plant room

I finally decided on a color for the walls I liked. Last week i got all the trim around the windows and door finished and the back of the door.(trim is a caramel and door is molasses) We had painted the walls 2 tone green but I really didn't like it. So today i painted it a light brown and it looks wonderful. Over the weekend we picked up a few more free thing from craig's list. I'm off to do some baking. I figured i would start baking for xmas and freeze them. That way when the time comes i don't have a lot of baking to do. Later taters

Long Week


Last weekend we cleared out the plant room and started painting it. It's 1 of the rooms that used to be part of the porch til it was made into a room. I'm making it into the plant room because it's the warmest room in the house. 2 side are nothing but windows so when the sun is out it warms up very nicely. This winter i plan on spending my days in there to save on heat.

Mike also got the block and holes in the metal post on the back porch for the railing. That was a pain in the butt. The drill bits kept bending. I think he went thru 5-6 of them.

And i have to say thank you to our brother in law Frank. He came and got the last big fuel tank that we were giving away. I'm sure it was a site Mike,Frank,Patrick, Marissa & I moving the tank onto the trailer.

The reason this week has been long is because Mike left tuesday for a business trip. So it has been me and the kids and the animals. It's not so different than most days he is gone about 14 hours a day.(work time plus commute)
