What's been going on lately?
Garage-Now you see it....
Yes, that huge pile of cardboard boxes came outta the garage. Was saving them for relatives that are moving soon.
Now you dont! I placed an ad on Craigslist for free garage materials for any one who wanted to demo it. I got about a dozen replies and a guy showed up later that evening and got started on it. My son was more than happy to lend a hand and destroy something.
Evil maple tree that was knocking over the garage. Here one day.....
Gone the next. It took 2 days, 3 guys, a boom truck and many trips to get this tree down and theres still a ton of wood left in our yard. Hope they come back tomorrow and finish up!
Heres a pic of the catalpa tree thats directly behind our house. Its huge and the neighbors say its well over 100 years old.
Sorry old tree, but yous gotta go. Cant have your roots invading our basement walls :(
Then I was going to start painting. Above the chair rail-Benjamin Moore's Shanker Beige, below the rail- Hale Navy OR
Shaker beige over Seedling (green) I love the navy blue color. Its a dining room so it can handle a dark dramatic color. BUT before I could gets started on this project..............
Freakin toilet in half bath sprung a leak (ok, been leaking for awhile but I assumed the wet spot on the floor was my oldest missing the pot) and soaked the subfloors. I got mad and ripped out the tile. Then.....
Said hell with it and took toilet off too. Ive now got a fan in there with the window open to dry out the floor. Hope its just a new wax ring and re-tile it fix.
I've also found a solution for all my wooden dining room chairs being destroyed by my kids and husband- galvanized aluminum indoor/outdoor chairs. Ha! Take that!
Will post more pics when back yard is cleaned up. Also going to tackle the bushes in front yard this weekend. yay
