Tom's room

We have finished painting Tom's room.  I wanted him to see the pics and he said he really didn't care since he won't live there very long, if at all....:-((((((  He starts IIT on August 23 and will be on vaca the last week of July so he is right.  But I will still be sad...  Anyway here are those pics. 

I like the color combo.  It is still wet in these pics, so will dry just a bit different.  We can now start the prep work for our room.  I hate that part.  The painting I can handle, the prep work stinks!

Only 2 rooms to go.  Thank God!

A couple spare pics too...His new shirt and the shadow box I made him.  Have 1 more chevron to add that he got last week and then it is done. 

Till next time...<3

The floor is down.

Jeffrey worked his butt off, not really his butt, more like his knees....getting this done.  Like I said I was just the gopher and tapper.  It took 3 days to do this.  Just need to put the quarter round on then we can move on to the family room.  No more floor laying for us!  Carpet the rest of the house.

We are taking today off.

Till we meet again....

One of these things is not like the other......

We got our new roof today.  Adams Roofing in Loudon did a great job and I would recommend them for your roofing needs.  They pulled up at 8:30 and they were done by 11:30.  It cost $3430.00.  You do the math.  The good news is we will get back 30% of the actual cost of the roof, thank you President Obama!  The actual material cost was $2000.00, so we are getting just under $600.00 back.  We will also be getting that credit for our new door and if we put more insulation in that qualifies also. 

While the roof was being installed, Jeff and I were inside pulling up the old carpet in the front room and the hall. 

 

  

  

  

We have to get new plywood for the front room to raise it 1/4" to meet up with the kitchen sub-floor so our new floor will sit even.  

We got all that up, pulled staples and loose nails up to clean up that floor.  It was nasty.  Jeff sprinkled baking soda on there before we left to absorb any moisture and odors.  

Jeff also finished putting up his quarter round in the bathroom.

 

  

(You will have to excuse the spot on the lense.  I have cleaned it, will see if that works.)

It was time to go get Tom, so we loaded up all that carpet and padding and took it to the landfill.  First and last time for me...P.U.

  

I stayed in the car...

  

  

  

Goodbye landfill.  Thank God!

We did stop to take a couple of nice pics of the mountains with all the snow on top, it was such a pretty day but still cold. 

  

So it was a very productive day.  Took 2 Tylenol and getting this up, then cooking dinner then relax!  

Adios,
