2 weeks off

We didn't mean to exactly, but we took a couple weeks off from remodeling/house stuff. One weekend was spent doing bachelor/bachelorette things and then next we were at David's parents house, a baby shower, and dinner at my dad's.

David and I rode our beach cruisers to Einstein's down the street to start our day with bagel sandwiches! We got back and got busy pulling weeds and cleaning off the back patio. Our palm tree has dropped a lot of little seeds so we've got palm tree leaves sprouting everywhere also- great! We installed our doorbells finally also. It only took a few minutes, but we just never got around to it! We now have one on the front door (again) that makes a 2-tone noise and one on the back door that makes a 1-tone noise. So exciting!

















We've started to realize all the little things we're missing now that we have a bigger place. We have a kitchen trash can- downstairs obviously- and one small bathroom trashcan in our master bathroom. We must go and get more trashcans! We also found a small leak yesterday afternoon- so annoying! Our disposal doesn't really sit right (we think) and looking under the kitchen sink there was a pool of water. I ran the disposal with David watching and the whole thing moves when it's turned on. Great! So, we'll be reading the manual to fix that. We didn't install it in the first place...maybe that was our bad! We did so well on all our plumbing items upstairs we figure we'll give it a go this time around.

So, things are coming along here at the birdhouse. Soon we'll have to throw an open house party so you can see things first hand! Here's our first table with chairs! The chairs aren't even the matching ones from Pottery Barn- we got them at Ikea!! How awesome is that?!
