Ok so even though there has been a little little of a lot going on

I am not ready to post any pics yet :)

the tiling is going pretty well a couple of weekends more and we should be done

I think I will wait till have have a lot more progress to show

The baby's dresser painting is also going well

got my second color (its going to be a surprise) on the dresser

maybe in a week or two that should be complete as well

Did I mention that we plan to organize the laundry room next :)

yes yes don't worry we will get it all done before the baby comes

we bought new flooring for that room

and plan to buy the rest of the pantry style cabinets and stuff this coming weekend :)

Oh and then we selected a couple of different paint colors for our master bedroom & bath

now just have to buy the samples and try them out once the bathroom is done

And we did take our first basic prenatal care class yesterday

learned all about bringing the baby into this world

a.k.a labor pains, contractions, breathing techniques, coaching and relaxation!

Next weekend we will be heading to Canada to meet with family

will give us a good small break.

That's my wordy update for today...stay tuned should have some more pics by end of this week.

Organizing and Rearranging

Remember in Jan when we mounted these shelves in our garage

forgot to post pics of it in use with all our xmas deco

and left over wedding deco (still waiting to get some time to put it all up for sale)

anyways for now its all neatly stacked away in the garage

 

We did some rearranging in the living room

decided to add some symmetry to the shelving

 and so we added a second shelving unit on the right :)

We plan to extend the shelving under the TV 

add some shelving and some other stuff to the wall over the TV 

and hopefully we we get it to a point where we are satisfied with it :)

It's sooo good to be home :)

Ok so remember how messy the Garage was...

TADA...

 The only thing out now is our luggage and some stuff that needs to be donated etc...

 All the lawn stuff that needs to go into the shed is in one corner of the garage

 

Found the perfect place for those many bags of soil..

in our unused garbage can

not sure how we ended up with so many bags of soil

oh well its not like it is going to go bad...more for next year!

  Enough space to park a car!

 Yeah that toilet will go too as soon as we get to it :)

saved all the board boxes to use when we do some spray painting.

Made Grant clean the push mower it was covered with dirt!

I should have taken a before picture...here it is midway

We came across our missing weights finally

they were in the box with our toaster oven

oooh packers - they find the weirdest spots to pack things

Then we unpacked all our glasses

and came across a casualty

the only one we have ever had moving!

We also finished up Bedroom #2

 And decided to go ahead and put all the doors back on

we will get them all off when we are ready to paint them

Look what I found for next year :)

Got these planters for $15

Grant is happy cause he doesn't have to build them anymore...

Yaaaay to veggie planting next spring!

 Today I got some nice Kale

we have a farmers market right by work

 Took out the stems and cut them up bite size

And now have a big pot of it :)

Going to try making some kale chips!

 We finally got everything we need to patch up our kitchen ceiling

now just have to start working on it...

Guess who's here!!!

Our shed in a box :) Grant had the delivery guys put it under our deck

I don't think it is 567lbs like they say it is...at least it doesn't look that heavy

I was expecting it to be a lot bigger ...hmmm

So maybe this weekend we will start on our foundation :D

Until next time .....bubyeeeeee

Planning and organizing :)

So these past two weeks we have working on and clearing out the garage.

A lot of organizing and sorting - moving things to store in the basement or stuff 

we need up to the second floor.

Opening up all the wedding presents and the left over decoration was fun. 

But yeah we have a lot more sorting to do and have a lot of things to sell :) 

At this time however we have decided to just take things out of the garage and go through it later. 

The basement before....

  We bought some shelving...

 Wiki playing in the packaging...

 

 After a couple of hours...

 Our sorting station...

  The garage before...

 

After...

 We still got a little more work to do, but we are getting there...

 Now we just have to build that shed to hold all the lawn equipment :) 

as you can see it has taken over half of the garage...it is probably the next thing we are going to tackle...

 Some other things we have had to deal with...Wiki learned to go through the gate down the stairs into the back lawn. Which worries us cause nothing prevents him from just jumping over the fence.
So we tried to Wiki proof the deck.

With the left over aluminum mesh... yaaay finally got to use our staple gun :)

  It was a little mangled from using it as a sieve on the rocks in the front yard...

 And it was a success...for a little while at least...

 Haa haaa Wiki re-planning his escape...

But then he figured out the shortest jump to the ground and now he just jumps off of there :/

So now we got to go get more mesh and put it around the entire deck :/

For now Wiki gets no outside time!

We got him a fountain since the pump on his old drinking unit died, and he loves drinking flowing water.

This time we just got him this...we didn't like the actually pet water thingies they has for sale.

So that he can drink and relax indoors :) It seems to be working...

 We got some more lawn stuff...all the more reason to get that shed ASAP:)

 We got it so that we could water our dying grass. We also bought a different sprinkler - with a wider range found it to give better coverage. Look at it go...

 While we were out there we thought we would try and tackle the railing and 

see what it would take to get it off. Well turns out nothing is as easy as it seems. 

The screws used...some don't have a head anymore and others are way too rusted out. So we are going to have to saw it off. Oh well will have to tackle it some other time. 

  Happy web browsing everyone!

More exciting stuff to come :)
