MOST DEFINITELY!

i most definitely have to post new pictures of the bar area... these don't do it any justice... we have cleaned it up a lot and Bryan framed out the windows and stuff... it looks a million times better then it does in these pictures which are only a few days old... but I will have to try to post them tomorrow...

I think I'll post the kitchen pictures then sit down and have some tv time because I know tomorrow there will be NO rest for the weary. lol

also we are going to change some more things with the house... we are just doing what we can for now to make it livable and nice but stay within our budget... this isn't our house... YET... so we don't want to dump a lot of money... well a lot MORE money into it with out knowing for sure that we are going to own it one day.

like the big window in the bar area, we want to and will one day replace that window... we are also going to get a new door and put down flooring... probably hardwood and tile... but we are still trying to figure that out... for now the floor is pretty ghetto, but whatever... at least it is something to walk on that is safe. lol

well anyway... i'm off... this time I promise the next pictures/post will be the kitchen wall. :)

PICTURES!!

since these are loading backwards, I'm going to post this

then add the pictures of it painted.

this is the "man cave" or so

Bryan and Chris like to call it...

I think since I primed the damn thing

ALL BY MYSELF

and painted it with a little bit of help from Bryan

it should be called a new name...

but we'll see.

These are pictures of our "bar area"

ready for primer and then primed.

Next I will post pictures of it actually painted.

:)

Getting There...

AND where exactly is there you ask?? There is here. AND here is a comfy home that has insulation, walls and paint on them. :)

We still have more to do and further to go, but we are getting closer to being done. :) Today I painted the hallway from the bar to our bedroom, and by the stairs, and then I went a little crazy and painted ONE wall in the kitchen, as an accent wall and also because we are using the paint for downstairs and I'm not sure we will have enough to finish the little bit by the stairs ~ (it didn't get painted today because we forgot to prime it last night and it is small sections near wood and carpet, so I'm not feeling like messing with it today, maybe later but definitely NOT NOW!!) but anyway... I think we may have enough for me to do the rest of the kitchen... but even if I don't get to... I like the way it came out... it gave it some life some color... it was all white and didn't look very inviting or comfy.

I also did some laundry which I haven't done in a few days, so we are backed up some... but thankfully I am down to only a few more loads... although I may have to wash all the winter coats because they are dusty from sanding the spackeling. ugh. As is the rest of the house. I'm going to go work on cleaning that too... I'm going to start downstairs by the WOman Cave and work my way up... I'm not really feeling like doing this... but I have to. I think I burnt myself out this morning with cleaning some and painting... it tired me right out.

My hands also really hurt from holding the paintbrush and the roller... I had to cut in a lot with the paintbrush and that just kills me. I could barely keep a hold of it after a while.

BUT enough complaining... WE ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS!! yay!! This is definitely calls for a celebration... so our New Years Eve Party will be a good time to celebrate everything. :)

LIFE
FAMILY
FRIENDS
GOOD FOOD
GOOD DRINKS
GOOD TIMES
GREAT MEMORIES
A NEW HOME that is FINALLY coming together
A BRAND NEW YEAR TO COME!! :)

Well I have to go wipe some one's tushy... I wonder how old the girls will be when they will wipe their own tushes and do a good enough job so I let them do it??? Hmmm... something else I will be thinking about. ;) lol
