Day 78: If the Sheets are a Rockin', Then don't Come a Knockin'!


Yes, we have been rockin' the sheets around here. 

Note: Simmer down, everyone. Sheetrock. Drywall.

Big News! It almost appears as if we are going to have an actual house again. A house with walls and floors and maybe even stuff inside of it.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The floors went in and for a brief moment, we caught glimpses of the glory. We caught glimpses because as soon as it went down, it was covered. 

Good grief. Can't I just have a little joy?

My flooring guys did a great job. But they worked in slow motion. Sometimes I believe that they actually went backward. I'm not kidding. Note: I am kidding. But barely.

This photo was taken about 3 weeks later. No it wasn't. It just felt like it!

Then the drywall guys got started. It took a full day for them to bring the 'rock' into the house. My little house sits down from the street with a brick walkway to the front door. The dudes used a cart and it kept rolling out of control which was terribly entertaining, indeed.

Note: The posts will be wrapped with wood and painted. Do not be alarmed.

Walls! Pot lights!

From the 'Piano'
Walls! Kitchen Outlets!

From the Front Door
Walls! 12 Foot Sliders!

So, to save a buck or two thousand five hundred, The Hub and I will be painting this weekend. Our color?

Think of us while you are swimming. Or boating. Or picnicking. Or shopping. Or lounging. On your fat behinds.

Ha!

Heck, yes!

Day 62: I'm Living in a Bubblegum Factory!

After spending a few delightful days in Houston with the Little Grand and after spending a few delightful days at home with The Big Grand and after spending a few deplorable days on my deathbed, I have risen from the ashes to find that I live in a Bubble Gum Factory!

Note: Whoever said that orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.

It almost looks tasty enough to eat!

Another benefit is that the room gives my complexion a decidedly rosy glow!



Just little old me getting acquainted with a stack of hardwood flooring.

And tomorrow? Well, tomorrow that hardwood flooring gets laid.

Yeah, I said it.

The end is in sight!
