Finishing up the Kitchen

Today I spent the day doing odds and ends around the house. My goals were to finish the kitchen and office. Of course my best laid plans never work out. Got sidetracked every time by Star Trek The Next Generation and Voyager. But in the end I did manage to finish the Kitchen. Meaning I unpacked, continued to wash everything (Harry started this the day before) and then put everything in it's new home. So with exception of accessories the Kitchen is done. Please keep in mind that we plan on replacing the horrible green tile and counter tops.. but it's going to have to work as is for now.

I also put faux stain glass on the entry way window. We came across this stuff at Lowes (or Home Depot) and we didn't want to do a tiny curtain and we both liked this pattern. It was fairly easy to apply and I think it turned out pretty good.

I did start to work on the office but it was a long day and I was super tired.. there's always tomorrow (oh wait we're visiting family)... there's always the day after tomorrow.

More House Stuff

Today Harry and I did more house things. We started to unpack the rest of the Kitchen boxes. We unpacked the rest of our clothes (well the hanging stuff). And finally we attempted to put up our curtain in our Master Bedroom. It was a trial and error and in the end it's up but will have to be taken down to be fixed but we now understand how to do it and shouldn't have any issues with putting it back up as well as the other three that we have gotten so far.

Little by little we are getting the unpacking done. I was disappointed today that the my Steven Walker picture was too large to hang over the fireplace. The colors were perfect and it would have looked great above the fireplace.. oh well will find some other place in the living/dining room to put it.

We also went to Bed Bath and Beyond and found a floor lamp and two table lamps that we both agree would look great in the living room (for some reason Harry and I have totally different ideas about lamps. Everything else we have the same taste) but we did find some we liked as well as some bar stools for our island. We of course left our coupons at home so we plan to go back and get them next week.

Unpacking and Rugs

Today Harry and I unpacked the rest of the Kitchen stuff. We wanted to wash everything or at least rinse everything off but before we could do that we had to go to Lowes to pick up some plumbers puddy to seal the hole where the dishwater release value is attached to the sink. So instead I just unpacked the boxes on to our Island to give us a better idea of what we have and were we are going to put everything.

During this time we got a delivery of a rug that we ordered from Home Depot a few weeks back for our living room. We saw this rug at the Home Depot store but you had to special order it. It has our living room colors and looks great with the place. One more piece of the puzzle. Now we just need a light, pictures and accessories and the living room will be done.

Editing and Black Outs

Today I spent most of the day editing my Knights of the Guild podcast. Both Ep 9 pt1 and pt2. It was a dreary and kind of rainy day today. The winds were howling and there was a storm north and south of us. About mid day the power went out and of course I didn't save my work so I lost about ten minutes of stuff.. luckily Avid has auto save. It was only down for a few minutes and came back on fairly quickly. I finished pt1 of the podcast and prepped it for upload. I got most of pt2 done and just need to cut in a fan interview.. well we have to find a fan and interview them first then I can cut it in.

After editing I hung out with Harry and watched some TV. Like I said it was grey, rainy and cold out so it was a nice TV day. I did manage to go out during a lull in the weather and grab some candle from the garage as I knew the power would be going out again. And sure enough around 9pm it went out again. This time it was out for about ten minutes. We did manage to stumble our way to the box of candles and light few as it's complete pitch black up here in the middle of no where.

No more black out, at least none before I went to bed.. but the storm continued to hit us with wind and rain.

More House Stuff

I've lost track of the number of days we have remodeled. This week has been fairly slow week for remodel. After doing it for a month and a half non-stop I think we are just taking it slower. The house isn't going anywhere and yes we do want to finish we also want to be able to enjoy the house also.

Today we had some tree trimmer comes by and trim down some of our pepper trees.. I guess during the winter the winds really pick up and if you don't trim the trees they tend to blow over. At least this is what we were told. We are still learning about the area but the trees were over grown we could see that but after the trimming they look so bare.

I also cleaned up the deck. I was getting tired of all the crap just sitting out there the past month. So I cleaned up everything and made it look like a deck again. It's also suppose to rain and I didn't want everything to get soaked.

The last thing we did was build the Ikea furniture that we purchased last night. Harry and I sat down and knocked out two night stands, one sofa table and a coffer table in a few hours. They look great and take a step closer to finishing our remodel. I don't like putting stuff together but the Ikea stuff are very easy and and come with great instructions.

Shopping and Unpacking

Today we got up and started to clean off the Deck a bit, the past month the back deck seemed to be the catch all for all the crap that we didn't want in the house. I wanted to clean it up because of the treat of rain.

We first brought the rest of our clothes to the house. There were like 25 hefty bags full of our clothes. I was getting tired of wearing the same things over and over. Now I just need to find the time to unpack them and hang them. Once we did that we drove Harry's truck over to the garage and put all the kitchen and bathroom boxes on it and then drove it to the back door where we unloaded the boxes and put them in the appropriate rooms. Once that was done we I loaded up the truck with all the crap and trash (that we would have to get rid of at a later date) into the truck and drove it back to the garage and put it in the spot where we removed all the clothes and boxes earlier. There was still stuff I wanted to do on the deck but we really wanted to get to Ikea to look for side tables, night stands and other accessories. So we grabbed some lunch at El Pollo and then spent the next three hours walking around Ikea buying up stuff.

In the end we purchased two night stands for our Master bedroom, a sofa table and matching coffee table for our living room, two hanging organizers for the master closet, curtains and rods for our guest bedroom, mater bedroom, pantry and office. We spent around $700 but we got some pretty cool stuff. But the one thing about Ikea is that you have to build all the stuff yourself so that is going to be my day for tomorrow.
