Prep and an Installation

Tuesday, Princie and I went over to the house to do some general working.  I worked really hard painting the second coat of lovely pink paint in the master bedroom.  It wasn't dry when we stopped for the day so I don't have a pic of it yet.  However, while I did that Princie started preparing things for painting.  She started with removing wallpaper in the laundry room.  Thankfully, other than a border in one of the smaller bedrooms, there is no more wallpaper.  Here's an action shot of her working away!

After doing that for a while, she moved on to cleaning the kitchen cabinets.  Since they already look fine,  we decided not to paint them and instead just to clean and polish them up. That and new hardware will make them look great!  Here's a photo of Princie cleaning some woodwork:

She moved on after the cabinets, to applying spackle to all the holes from pictures on the walls - and doors - there were several of those.  Here she is filling a hole now!

Isn't that great?  Now all we need is an item for the living room to get us started and we'll pick out a color and paint it.  Princie is a good worker and I was thinking about giving her a promotion. What do you think?


On Monday we went out running the streets to look for very important items for the house.  We didn't find anything to buy, but while we were out shopping, we accidentally started looking at all the Christmas decorations, and look what we found!

Who woulda thunk??!!





Yesterday, Terry and I went over there so he could install the microwave while I painted the ceiling in the master bedroom.  I could do that one because it is not tall and is just a normal size tray ceiling. 

Here's a shot of Terry working hard on the installation:

Here is a final shot of the new stove and microwave. I didn't notice until it was finished that all the appliances are Whirlpool.  It's like we planned it, but like most of my projects, it just happened that way.

Isn't it beautiful?



While Terry was finishing up his project I notice that the leaves have stared falling from the two big trees in the back yard and they are very pretty:

And now you're all up to date!
