George is back!

Now that school has started back up the work pace at the birdhouse has slowed down. A lot. Now our weekends consist of to-do lists that we make on Fridays and then go back and reevaluate on Sundays! There is so much to finish- little projects here and there still to do. It seems like it will never end. I was just looking back through all our photos looking for one particular pic. As I was looking through everything I realized (pictures really are worth a thousand words) how much work we really have accomplished in just a short amount of time. We signed the papers for the birdhouse July 2nd. This Wednesday will be September 2nd. In 2 months time we have completely changed this whole place. Wow!!

Alright- back to the weekend! Long story short we picked up our new King size bed Saturday afternoon, exchanged the sheets we had previously bought (they were CA King size), washed everything and were sleeping that night on a HUGE bed. King beds are SO big! I'm on one side, David's on the other (duh!) and there is a TON of room between us- so crazy! My queen size bed looks so puny now! Max and Gina were over to help us get the mattress up the stairs- thank goodness! It barely squeezed up the stairs!



Pronto- we will be getting a bed skirt! :)



We finally got to use the headlamp we got for a shower gift! David wanted to wait until it was cool out to change the front porch light, which means dark outside. So, out he pulls the headlamp (thanks Aunt Bernie!) and gets to work! He was quite fast actually. One negative he told me- lots of bugs are drawn to the light!



We had George back over to re-texture some of the walls in the bathroom. The former mirrors that were on the wall left dark glue on the walls and tears in the drywall. Our good friend (and handyman) George took care of all the mess. In just a few hours the bathrooms looked brand new!



The hole in the wall is for a medicine cabinet- a very long and narrow cabinet. They don't even make a medicine cabinet that size anymore! We found one we liked that was just as narrow but not quite so long. George patched that up and now we're good to go!



Next we'll paint, install the vanities and faucets, install a toilet in the guest bathroom, and almost be good to go with the big jobs! Hooray!
