Weekend Spoils

For our "holiday weekend", we
1) finished fixing the water supply pipe over the laundry room.

2) pro actively knocked out a section of ceiling in the downstairs bathroom, as it had suspicious water marks on it like the laundry room, and it was right in line with the leaky supply line.No Leaks, dry as a bone....tee hee, silly us.

3) Hung the art deco light fixture in the entry hall; it looks gorgeous, although the bulbs are too bright, we couldn't find the globe lights with the cut glass pattern in lower than 40 watt, so we will install a dimmer.

4) Finished putting the master bedroom back together after switching the bed from one area to another; now it looks like a bedroom instead of a construction sight. Except maybe for the really ***rough*** floor in the larger portion......it is not in as good shape as the smaller part which we sanded and poly'd. We will consult with a historical flooring specialist on whether or not it is salvageable or not. Hey! There's one right around the corner!

5) Fixed our NEW GE front load washer....more on that in another post; this needs to be shouted about!

6) Mowed the new sod for the first time.....it felt good to mow grass....but the other side is struggling so badly, I'm beginning to consider a "reduced grass plan" for the front as well as the back; may not without grass at all, but we have better things to do and spend out money on than providing constant life support for our lawn. Then the rains will start and we'll be dealing with fungus.

7) Strongly coerced (ok-yelled)the kids into cleaning their rooms...it was either that or call in a haz-mat team to do the job. Mission *almost* accomplished......a lot of trash bags came out of those rooms....I'm still missing many of my glasses.....

Wow, we got a lot done...and I have to credit Mike for doing most of it.....Thanks honey!

I will add if I think of anything else.....we ended it all with a rib & corn on the cobb dinner.
Happy Monday!
