Day 108

Today is going to be an adventure...

We are going to spend the night at the new house. It will kind of be like camping out as we don't have our beds or most of our things there yet. But we are trying to save on the gas a little. We will do a little work tonight and then see what we can do tomorrow morning before we leave for Kristen's birthday.

Well, I guess I need to get a few things packed up so we will be ready for our first night in the new house.

Day 107

We stayed here and baked chocolate peanut butter chip cookies... Yummy!

Day 106

We put on the second coat of polyurethane today. And YAY the first of our craigslist items is sold. We only have one more coat of polyurethane left. Then we can move on to something else.

Day 105

With two house payments, and all the trouble we are having with our cars, we are quickly running low on money. So today, we won't be going over to the new house. It is time to put some of the things that were left in the house on craigslist and see if we can make a little money. I am hoping for a quick sale on all of the items we are listing. *HOPE*

Day 104

We went over to the house this evening to put the first coat of polyurethane on the bathroom floor. Too bad that it needs to dry for 3 to 4 hours between coats. It makes it a little hard to get much done in an evening. It seems like most of this week will be finishing the bathroom floor.


Here is the nice shiny floor after the first coat of polyurethane.


I also took some pictures of Jonathan's shop down in the basement. We started hauling over some of his tools. But we have quite a few more things to bring over and most of them are very heavy. :( Not looking forward to moving the shopsmith for one. Though when we get it all over here this will be a pretty nice shop. Much better than the back half of the garage like we were used to.

Day 103

Happy Birthday Ella...

After Ella had opened her presents and we got a few things done here at home we headed over to the new house.

It has been a little while since we have been there. First on the list was to see how many bees had died in Jonathan's last assault.


Here is the picture of the bathroom floor with many dead bees on it.

Then it was time to clean up the bathroom floor. After all of the bees were cleaned up. We started to sand the floor where we had done the patching. This was not a fun job. After the sanding it was time to clean again. We swept everything up so that we could get ready to paint.


Here is the bathroom floor with the grey paint on.

We had to let the grey paint dry before we could put the white on. So Jonathan and I went down to the basement to hang his shop cabinets. This turned out to be a much easier job then I was thinking it could have been. I guess this was due to Jonathan's great planning. We got the cabinets hung on the wall and the other ones on the floor against the wall. It is starting to look pretty nice down there.

And then it was time for the white paint. :)



Here is what the bathroom floor looked like when we left for the day.

It was time to go and pick up Zeb from his camp.

Day 102

We were having a crazy weekend and didn't get over to the new house today.
