My day off

· Posted by at
I took Friday off from work so that I could do some stuff around the house. I'm not sure what got me so motivated but, in the end, it all got a little out of hand! I decided that it was time to scrape the lovely popcorn ceiling off our 1985 house. Doesn't it make you want to cough just looking at it??



I was able to do almost all of the dining room and living room on Friday and then Saturday morning I had Graham get the really high spots in the living room. I decided he was so very good at it that he can tackle the bedrooms all by himself!

So, then the carpet was really disgusting so I rip it all up in preparation for the laminate flooring that we bought 6 weeks ago that continues to just sit in piles in our living room. THEN last night I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. working on the laminate flooring. However, you will not see a picture of my progress on that because after staying up late, working on it ALL day today, and many many curse words later...i've barely made any progress. It's a pretty tough job that I just haven't 100% figured out yet. I will master it though!!! Then, after that (which I'm guessing will be some time around 2011) It will be time to repaint. The chocolate milk color has to go.

Now, just in case you aren't totally impressed with my home remodeling skills...I also knit a sweater. Okay, okay, I didn't actually knit the whole thing this weekend but I did finish it up.

It doesn't look great in this picture because Lucy was a reluctant model..but you get the picture.



So, there you go...that's what I did this weekend. Take that Martha Stewart!
