So over home improvements...

So, we finally finished all the "public" areas of our house. Now, we're starting on the closets. And, oddly enough, we may end up having to buy another box of wood unless we can attempt to salvage some cut ends somewhere. I can't believe we bought more than the recommended 10% overage and we're still going to come out a little short. Maybe its because we had to cut each start and end piece, whereas some woods come in random lengths (ours were all the same). But, what can ya do. What's another $50 at this point right?

Anyway, because of our never-ending project, I'm missing a BBQ at the pool. While, as much as I really really really really want to be in the sun with a burger and beer, I would rather have this annoying project finished so I never have to lay glue for the rest of my life. So, I'm making up some chili dogs and then going to eat them (maybe on the porch so I can get some fresh air) then its back to the grindstone. At least we maybe have a total of 60 boards to lay maximum, which, in reality is nothing. And just thinking about finishing up the paint gives me a headache!

Home Improvement!

As promised, here are a few photos of our home improvement efforts. No, we're not finished, but, we have done a ton so far. Just a few more coats of paint and two more rooms to lay floor down, installing some trim/transitions and we're done!

Anyway, that's it so far! We will definitely need to get some area rugs, and once the guest bedroom is finished, I'll post some photos of that too!
