Ok, I know it has been a really long time, and to be honest, you haven’t really missed much. Sure I bought a house and have spend the last two and a half months working on it. I also have the bums, bruises, scraps, cuts and scars to prove it. I love working with my hands. There is something about working with my hands to build something. Of course I haven’t been able to do much of my favorite thing lately, but soon I will. I love to refinish old furniture. I am talking taking an old end table from Goodwill, sanding it down, fixing it and staining it. There is just something about seeing a piece come back to life.
Well, I guess seeing how I already brought it up I should tell you a little about my house. It is a 92 year old house, which means it was built the same year the light switch was invented. Of course many other things happened in 1916, I will leave that for you to look up. I think I took off about three or four layers of wall paper in each room. I took up all pet urine soaked carpet, put down new white oak hard wood floors in most of the room, and carpet in the two bedrooms. I can’t wait for it to be done. Painting will be done this week I hope, once we fix the two colors that didn’t come out right, (right now I have two rooms that glow). I get carpet on tuesday, then I move in. I am so excited and yet nervous. Those of you that know me, know I can sometime scare myself when I am alone and for the most part I don’t really like being alone, but for the first time, I am looking forward to it. I will try to remember to put some photos up later for you all once it is all done.
Now that I have that out of the way on to more exciting things. Wait, I don’t have anything any more exciting then that. I guess for now that is it. I will try to post more later, and more frequently then I have been, well now that I remember my password it will make it a lot easier.
Later
