(Are you in the process of moving? If so, check out “A Step-by-Step Guide on Moving House Utilities Checklist”) Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. That is because we’ve been busy moving. Moving sucks. Am I right? Whether you are planning a cross country move or moving only a mile away, it’s a stressful transition regardless. I’m sure most of you out there have moved a time or two. It’s…
Hello All! The kids were off for Spring Break last week so I didn’t have time for a weekly update. We were in Orlando. We visited Aquatica, SeaWorld and the Universal parks. It was very fun time. Back to reality this week. While we were gone lots of stuff went down at the House house… Drywall… The drywall is done! Hallelujah! What a long way we have come. Here are before/afters,…
My friend (and neighbor), Amy Anstead, sent me this fun project to share. Amy and her husband Tom are both very handy. They’ve done all sorts of DIY projects around their house including building a pretty awesome swing set/playset for their 2 young girls! Amy is also super smart. After being diagnosed with breast cancer and going through chemo she developed an all natural, aluminum-free, paraben-free deodorant that actually works called Fantabulous. Please check…
Mold Updates… Last week I told you about our mold issues. Here is the latest. We finally got our second mold test back and levels of one type of mold are still somewhat high (they test for about 20+ different molds). The good news is that our levels of stachybotrys chartarum, aka the dreaded ‘black mold’, are non existent. Whew! That is the stuff you really don’t want in your house. On Monday we…
Hello All. I injured myself. I dropped a 35 pound barbell on my right foot yesterday at the gym. I’ve never done that before, even after doing Crossfit for over 6 years. The darn thing just slipped right outta my hands and right ontta my foot. Let me tell you…it hurt! Bad! I left the gym, a little embarrassed I must say, and iced it for an hour or so. I…
Mold, mold go away… Last week I told you about our unfortnate mold situation. Well, it is still ongoing! We had a remediation company come last Friday and Saturday to clean, scrub, and do their thing. Monday we had the mold testing company come back to test and make sure it was all gone. We were supposed to get the results back yesterday (Tuesday) but…..nope! Still waiting. 2 phone calls later and still…
Check out this great trash to treasure transformation that my high school friend Heather was able to pull off. Her boyfriend literally took this piece out of someone’s trash for her because he thought she could do something with it. (What a nice boyfriend!). You know how the saying goes….”someone else’s trash is another’s treasure”. Nice work Heather!!! Here is how it looked when they got it. It is a nice…
Good Old House Remodel Issues… If you missed any of my past updates please check them out here. I missed posting an update last week. Sorry about that. We had a remodel issue come up and frankly I was so discouraged/upset/confused/and things were so ‘up in the air’ that I honestly couldn’t write about it. We learned a lot in a week. Here is the deal. Before the drywall starting going…
