Also, this blog is for us to document all the things we...

And they're not even nice photos cause my camera decided it's had enough, so you're stuck with photos from my ipod. :-DAll the tiny pieces of shim the...

The Man is currently in the hoarder dining room, searching for a cord that may or may not be in a box, all the while cleaning the box out. He's coming into the back room every few minutes to show me something he's found or ask if I want to keep something. I've told him to just make one of the boxes for me and toss all my crap in...Sectionals

I finally sold my two hunter green couches, couches that I had bought a week before my first kiddo was born. I had them on there for months and didn't get a bite. So I took some new photos in front of my newly sandblasted wall and the next day I had two people after them! They were gone the next day - sweet!!So now...

I'm currently laying on the couch drinking something full of glucose-fructose and vodka, trying to rest my aching neck. I have been painting all weekend and it's been great! Even though I'm sore and hungry and wish someone would feed me, I look around and sigh happy sighs cause it's starting to look like a real house!
Most nights,...

How do you motivate someone to do something that they don't want to?This is an issue I've been having. The Man needs to finish the drywall and he's stalling and although I do a lot of things, this isn't something I'm good at. I'm good at broad, not needing to be perfect things. Like painting and sandblasting, destroying things and...

I have beaten the painted brick wall.It was hard work. I scraped with metal scrapers, used chemical peels, used a wire metal drill attachment and even telekinesis to try and strip the paint from the wall. The paint fought hard but I finally beat it with sand. And a sandblaster.
The sandblaster and a few bags of empty sand It...

We are done putting up the ceiling!!This is super exciting to me. I am tired of seeing the green-grey Roxul, tired of lifting my arms above my head, tired of trying to shove the tongue into the groove because we've salvaged the wood from two rooms and they aren't the same size...but now we're done.
It still needs to be painted one...
