Home Makeover Series: Busting Up Tile

After almost 20 hours of hard man labor Chris got the tile up. We learned an important lesson about busting up tile....pay someone else to do it. Whatever it costs it is worth it. If you are working on your home and want to enlist the help of your friends we (mostly Chris) will help you: paint, tear out carpet, lay wood, fix broken things, install new hardware, install storm doors and ceiling fans, build decks and other things, and assemble furniture. We will NOT help you bust up tile. We will instead, as your friends, contribute to your "pay someone else to do it fund" in lieu of our time.

You'll notice in the pictures below that we also painted the entryway.

Home Makeover Series: Water Filter

We now have a reverse osmosis water filter installed under our sink. It filter particles almost 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. It also reduces Arsenic, Chromium, Sodium, Lead, Cysts, Chlorine, nitrates and a bunch of other things I can't remember. This is a home improvement item that Chris and I felt was very importnant for the health of our family and it is a worry I can cross off my crazy list. Now, I am not speaking from experience here, because my Dad and Chris did all the work, but this thing was a real buttface to install. It is huge and takes up most of the underneath of my sink, as you can see.

Sleepyheads

For so long when Mckenzee would wake up early we would try and put her in our bed to get her back to sleep and she would throw the biggest fit. She did not want to be in our bed. She wanted us to go lay on the couch with her. Well, she has been waking up at 6 am a lot of mornings lately and we have been forcing her in our bed and now she is okay with it. I kind of like having some snuggle time with her in the mornings because she isn't a real snuggly girl most of the time when she is awake. Here are some pictures of two sleepy girls in our bed this morning.

Home Makeover Series: Update

The last three weekends have been so busy with working on our house. Chris has worked his tail off and everything is looking great. I have pictures to post soon. We (mostly Chris) have painted the hall and entryway, painted our bathroom, decorated our bathroom, painted Mckenzee's new room, installed a storm door and water filter (with my dad's help), and busted up most of the entry tile. Every project has taken more than twice as long as we thought it would, but we are getting there. I will post pictures soon. Still to go, finishing getting rid of the tile, installing hardwood floors, finishing crown molding, setting up Mckenzee's room, and choosing fabric for and making curtains in our master bathroom. We are hoping to get all of that completed by June 12th! I can't wait.
