Man We Hate Being Right Weekend Recap
Hello Senorita/Senor Sassypants! It's time to start up another week so fasten your seatbelt and put your trays in the upright position as we blast off into the last week of July. Saturday was yet another complete waste of a day sharing a blood supply with the couch. The radar's all basically lied and all of the places I checked Friday night that were supposed to be socked in with heavy storms making a road trip worthless, somehow evaporated so I was miffed. It was a bad anniversary and I just needed the tube on to keep me distracted since being out of the house didn't happen. At 93 degrees, it's not like a picnic or a leisurely walk was in the cards around these parts. So unfortunately nothing major to share except a food run here and there. That night some pretty hefty storms rolled in and along with it? Yep, that would be water coming in the same damn place he "fixed." So we did not have to put our plan into action because there is liter...
We have made progress nearly every day and yet it seems like there is still so much to do. If you so much as suggest any more projects this year I'm going to faint.
ReplyDeleteNone that you'll need to be involved in, dear heart. 😁😁
DeleteI'm inspired! I have an area in my laundry room that needs a new sheet of drywall installed and am actually thinking about doing it myself because of you two. In my experience, the more challenges in the project, the more gratifying admiring the end result is for me. Can't wait to see the reveal!
ReplyDeleteYou can totally do it! I will say, go with the paper tape. We both regret using the mesh tape but it was a "learning wall." This guy was incredibly helpful. https://youtu.be/W-p7pvnMAq8 This is a long version but you can search his drywall videos and get them in parts if you prefer.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe don't really have any projects here at the house other than painting some rooms that stand out. We do need a new deck and if we were keeping the same size, we'd be able to do that ourselves because the hubs did construction for years and is handy with that kind of stuff and is a good teacher. But I want to extend the deck the length of the back of the house to garage and the outdoor faucet would then be covered and not easy to get to, so we said we'd have the professionals come in to help us with that. Still waiting on the windows to come in, and if there is time after that project, then we'll have some trees taken out in the backyard and a shed put in. I'm hopeful to do that this year, but if it doesn't work, then it'll be next spring and the deck afterwards.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good project to tackle and better to hire out since you've got the tricky situation there. We just got our call yesterday that we're on the schedule for September 6 for the windows. Hope you get your call soon! I think you were 2 weeks ahead of us on the purchase.
DeleteLooks like we're on tap for next Wed/Thurs barring any weather issues with the current jobs. I told him we're flexible so if they have customers that are really anxious to work with them first. He'll call on Friday to let us know for sure since we'll each need to take a day off of work (or I may see if I can switch my days at work so he doesn't waste a vacation day). Now to finish cleaning out those rooms! Egads!!!
