Thanksgiving Schmanksgiving

Dec/02/08 08:14 AM

It's the season when the "Bah Humbug" begins to rear it's ugly mug. Yep right around Thanksgiving. You know the holiday in which we thank the Native Americans for welcoming us to the new world, right before we stole all their land and forced them onto reservations. Kristin and I opted out of Thanksgiving this year. In all actuality it had nothing to do with some political view of Thanksgiving, nope, actually we love Thanksgiving (maybe a little too much for our own good). But, how often do you get a four-day weekend to work on the house. That's right we blew our whole holiday on the house. We still did the turkey breast in the oven, but wow, did we make hella-progress on the house.

This Thanksgiving:
1. We laid in bed almost the whole first day.
2. Installed the vent hood above the stove.
3. Rewired the wall behind the stove to fit the stove height.
4. Painted the remaining cabinet doors.
5. Installed said cabinet doors.
6. Installed the bathroom cabinets.
7. Mixed and readied our staining station for our interior doors.

Work Begins Again

Oct/13/08 01:52 PM

Well after a lengthy hiatus from working on the house, we have begun work once again. This time it is fueled with the desire to have the house ready for an October wine party. We are the last couple to host the monthly party in our group, the simple reason being that we haven't finished the house. Fearing that we may get booted from the wine club for not hosting, we must have it presentable in the next couple weeks.

First up. Finishing the bathroom floor. Which I'm happy to say I did this weekend.
