When it rains it pours!

Wes and I decided a few weeks ago that we need to hire some work done on this house.  It’s twice the size of our last house and that house took me 5 years to complete!

Uhm…yeah, I’m gonna need some help on this one.  I seriously doubt I’ll be living here 10 years and I’d like to finish it and ENJOY LIVING in it  for a while this time.

So I’m having some work done!

I try not to have too much going on at once because I like to at least “supervise” even if I’m not “doing it myself”- but yesterday was a bit out of control.

Let me just tell you  it was a torrential downpour of activity here yesterday!

The painters were already going to town on my porch…

…when the electrician showed up and while I was “helping” him…

…I looked out the window and saw the CABLE BURYING GUY pull up!

I about jumped off the ladder and ran out and hugged the guy!

The only thing that saved him was the fact that he was on the phone.

He declined letting me take his picture but he buried the internet/TV cable OVER YONDER!

And while the cable guy and the painters were doing their thing, I cut the rest of my MDF with my new assistant, Laura.

Ok, I didn’t hire an assistant. (Wouldn’t that be nice?)   She just came out to help me.  NICE!

IMG 5332Laura is awesome and it was great to have help!

(I’m thinking about taking applications for Internships.  2 character references required!  😀 )

Then to top off my day, my chandeliers arrived!

I haven’t even had time to open the box but I’m starting to get excited about this closet.

Today,  I’m hoping to knock out 6 of the 28 cabinets I designed for that room.

Oiy!  What a Day!

  1. Things are looking up, am thinking I will apply for your internship, so long as it is not a paid one LOL. I actually hired a “Pool Boy” this summer. No, don’t have a pool, but he does whatever I tell him. He is a hungry HS graduate with a fancy truck to pay for. He is a bit handy with tools, but am teaching him all kinds of other carpentry stuff, painting, etc. Working great. Now this winter, we, he n me, will finish off the basement, after 5 years of living here!
    Loving your updates, keep busy!
