*Honey Do's for me and you!!!

Today I went to get my hair done. Brice's list of things to do was growing by the minute!!! He had to move everything out of the "crap room". When I got home he had everything out of the soon to be guest room. Brice had gone back to Home Depot, we went last night after dinner to get all the stuff we needed to put the bathroom together. To bad I forgot to pick up the paint after they mixed it! We got home and Brice said "where's the paint!!" WHOOPS!!

Anyway, my mom had called this morning with a mechanical problem. Brice dropped everything that he was doing and went up to rescue her. He took Sadie with him so she could hang out with her sister. It was kinda nice not to have her under foot wanting to be pet every few minutes. Madison was not being to cooperative with letting me get to painting. Every time I would get her to sleep and put her in her bed, she would shortly wake up and want to be held by me.


We took a break to go and pick up the pooch, hoping the car ride would put Madi to sleep for a good while. We got the dog, got some take out and headed back home. I finally got to the bathroom. It didn't take to long, I did manage to drop the can of paint, luckily it was in the tub so the clean-up was fairly easy. I think it turned out really cute. We just need to hang the shower curtain and the little shelf we have, but it's done. Didn't plan on doing it this weekend, but now it's another project finished. I didn't get a before picture, but here's the almost done picture. We just need to hang the shelf and the shower curtain.

Brice also decided that he didn't have enough on his plate. He decided that we needed to replace our microwave with one that went over our stove. When he pulled the hood down he found yet again another example of what great workmanship went into building this house. Instead of cutting the sheet rock and putting in an outlet box, the builders just punched a hole (literally) in the sheet rock and pulled the wire through.

Brice the little perfectionist that he is, had to then put in an outlet box and do it the correct way before he could hang the microwave. It turned out to be more of a project then he intended!

However, it does look really great. I'm glad to have this project done as well. It will give me a lot more counter space (once I clean off the top of the old microwave and move it off the counter. What a busy weekend it's been!! No wonder we are both tired and sore!! It looks great babe! You did a great job!
