Housework

Wayne finishing off the texture.

The carpet has been removed.

Work in progress.

We had a total of 21 interior doors to paint!

The junk yard.

I insisted on the homemade hair protection, I didn't have the luxury of just cutting my hair like Wayne did.

I learned how to cut tile and will probably go pro. I found out that measuring is the most challenging part of laying tile.

Destruction

The kitchen taped and ready for paint!

Upstairs bath, taped and ready for paint!

This is a large pile of popcorn ceiling that has been removed. What a chore...one that Wayne completed :) (Actually, Wayne has really most of the work on this house!)

Destroyed Master Bath Vanity

Rotted out wood from refrigerator leak under cabinets.

Master bath

Leaky toilet that ruined kitchen ceiling.

Missing kitchen ceiling

Asia trying to help Beth tape, check out that tongue!

We bought a house...finally!

Take the tour! Wayne recorded this many months ago and I added the voice to describe what you see. I hope you do not get dizzy :)

Merry Christmas!

His and Hers Stocking, inspired by my mother the Quilting Queen.

Yes, Dad...I finally mowed the lawn

I mowed a lawn for the first time in my life. Sounds quite pathetic after existing 30 years. I am only slightly embarrassed to admit it, mostly I am just proud to have evaded this daunting assignment...with 3 other brothers, there was always someone else to do the job.

My first attempt resulted in a 2nd degree burn after touching the engine with the back of my hand. One good benefits to working at a hospital is free doctor consultations if you have an "in." A tetanus shot and silvadene cream is helping this heal nicely. Watching my flesh melt was a good intro to the Halloween month!
