The stuff

I went to "the big hole in the ground up north" last week. Longer post will follow once I'm recovered fully from my vacation.

Quick points: camera battery died on day one. We brought the charger, but the wrong power supply. So, no more pictures the rest of the vacation. Means we gotta go back sometime.

Home Improvement Recap

Back a while ago, I listed things I wanted to have done by April:

Things to do before April (when we get our next houseguests):

--paint the master bedroom, closet, and two bathrooms (colors are now picked out)
--get a bedframe and new bedding for the master bedroom
--take down the shutters and put up curtains in the master bedroom
--get ceiling fans/lights installed in the bedrooms
--curtains in the guest bedroom
--finish pulling up the linoleum in the kitchen, paint the kitchen floor


Well....

Bedroom and bathrooms are painted. We skipped the closet.
We have a bedframe and bedding.
Shutters are down, curtains are up.
Ceiling fans/lights: not yet, but working on it.
Guest bedroom curtains: no
Kitchen linoleum: as good as it gets. Painted even.

Three out of five? Not bad. The only major thing we didn't get done was the ceiling fans, and that's because we didn't call our electrician in time.
