The Fun of Home Improvement

Let me start by saying that I hope I never I mean NEVER have to pull down horse hair plaster again. That has got to be the worst job I have ever done and we only pulled down two walls! Once that was done the rest has be a little easier. The boys (Steve & his partner in crime Scott) put up some new drywall and Mom and I worked on steaming off the wallpaper. As you can see from the pictures this has so far gone quite well. I'll post more pictures when we get to the woodwork and the painting. It is going to look really nice! In other project news we are having Mardens put in a new kitchen floor in the downstairs apartment and then when we have our apartment back in some order we are having new carpet put in our tv room. That will be great! But really do you want a project on each floor!

Long Time No Post

I realized I hadn't posted in some time! Things have been busy, busy, busy. We have been getting ready for our spring projects....this weekend is the back bedroom. We are taking down two walls of horsehair plaster and putting up drywall. So that should make a fun mess :o) I'll try to post some pictures of the project. Then we move outside to work on our front porch to replace some parts of that. We are also going to try a small garden this year not real big but a few things...trying to save were we can. Ok, well off to work so I'll try to post some pictures later.
