The Beginnings of Bathroom Cabinetry

Still got a ways to go, but WOW!

Just say NO!

Should you or a loved one ever let this cross your mind, please let me know. I'll be glad to walk you through an intervention.

It sounded so innocent at first. Little did I know what it would do to both me and the hubby. Blow our own insulation in the attic? Sure, hubby says, we'll save a truck load of dough. And I get to wear my cute little construction-type boots and gloves. I'll look like one of the hot chicks from Tool Time. Fun, right? Hubby's in the attic blowing, I'm on the ground. My job is to cut open the bags and feed the beast of a blower. HOLY CATFISH! 10 hours and 72 bags of insulation later (the good recycled newpaper kind, not itchy scratchy dangerous kind) and both of us can barely move. ...Did we save a truck load of money? Probably. Was it worth it? Undecided. I'll let you know when I can stand up straight again and my snot is no longer gray. Some things really are better left to the pros.

new room...

freshly sprayed popcorn ceiling, sheetrock replacing old wood paneling, pergo flooring to replace the green shag carpet. New crown and base molds, new doors and doorframes....sigh. Oh, and lots of outlets, including one at the ceiling so I can mount the tv/dvd player up high for watching and dancing with my FCBD videos! Thanks, honey!

What a difference...

here's the results from the previous demolition. Within a couple of weeks, this will be the workout/dance room, and through that new doorway is the new master bedroom.

here's my vanity and all my jewelry..

that's right! It's out in the garage. Sigh. It'll be worth it when it's over...

This....

will make it really hard to get ready in the morning! This was my dressing room. It's the last room in the house to be remodeled...(notice the cool green shag carpet)...now it's being demolished, and the last wall between the old house and the new addition is on its way down.

Stormtrooper Dancing in the Street

Ok, how do people see this on the street and not jump in and join? Made me wanna visit Tokyo, which has never been on my "wanna visit" list before...
