RENO WEEK 2.2

THURSDAY: Dinner with the Holtgrewe's! Since we were somewhat "kitchen-less" they invited us over for enchiladas and margs! Let me say they were both phenomenal. Recipe for those enchiladas is needed ASAP :)

FRIDAY: Dinner out with Murph's college friends. We hadn't been able to have a kid-less night out with the Moh's and Carder's for months so we hit up Centro and El Bait Shop for some fun. We got home just before midnight and were exhausted. Lame, I know!

SATURDAY: Back to reno work it was. We got the cabinet bases painted 2 more times and called it good. They finally are a nice clean milky white color and I think we are both happy to be done with that job! We also got the house back to "normal". Since the flooring is not going to be here for another month we knew we had to get some functionality back and moved all of the furniture back to it's (somewhat) original place, picked up spare tools and paint, and did a general clean up. It's nice to have things back to where they should be! We also got the desk/vanity delivered and got it mostly assembled. However, I noticed a piece is backwards so we will be taking that apart at some point to fix. I also am considering distressing it a bit since it has already chipped. What can I say you pay $100 for a desk, you get a $100 desk.

Bases are done, AMEN!
SUNDAY: Reload the kitchen cabinets and catch up on house work day. We moved the majority of our kitchen things back to the door-less cabinets and attacked the piles of laundry that had accumulated over the last week and a half. I had to bar-tend at Hoyt for the evening but made sure to help Murph set up our sanding station in the front room. We decided to control the mess from the cabinet doors and drawer fronts we would tarp off a portion of our front room, so while I kept concert goers refreshed, Murph got to work on the drawer fronts.

That pretty much wraps up reno week 2. This week will be an assault on the rest of the cabinets, I hope to be painting this weekend!
