More Excuses!

Are you getting tired of my excuses  for not posting more often?  Jeez!  I'm even getting tired of them.  It's been six days since my last post....what's up with that?

A picture is worth a thousand words..........




Before









 
During
5 days
of
New floor installation!

Washer Dryer from laundry room



This is my newly painted table?  




Pantry door against piano, cinder blocks in living room



Other supplies stored in living room...yikes!



Laundry room floor in process



Newly painted chairs stored in hallway.




Miter saw used in house 'cause it was raining after 5 months of no rain..lol  Notice the nylon panty hose foot on the sawdust exhaust.




And........finally,  the after pictures......ta da.....

drum roll please..............


Entrance into kitchen




Pantry with door in place, new baseboard installed, 3 lower walls painted.



Laundry room finished, new baseboard installed, back door repaired, new weather seal, new caulking



Dining room -  newly painted (again)  table & chairs, new baseboard installed.




New Garbage disposer too!




Mike...the man who did it all, and is now my new handyman. 
I've got another "want to do, need to fix" list already started for him.


Now maybe I can get back to cutting, sewing, and quilting for my Etsy Shop. 

Was this good enough excuses for not posting everyday?



Thanks for visiting.

  8. You certainly have a very valid reason for not blogging. Love your new floors. Can you let Mike know that I'd love him to come visit me in Southern California? Hmmm. He could come have a great vacation and do my floors too!
