I told you things would pick up again!

well.. a few weeks since I posted about the water softener, and like I expected, things have started moving again.

last Thursday I finished drywalling in felica's office and textured the walls so that they would be ready for painting in the next couple of days.

This last weekend, my parents and Adam came down to help and we got a fairly large amount done. We started off on Saturday by installing a bathroom vent fan, took roughly about 3-4 hours, after which Felica and I took them all over to see our new Menard's mega store, and out to supper. On Sunday after church we got all the REAL wood trim cut (but not installed) for felica's office and the new bathroom. Felica and Mom also painted felica's office a very attractive 1/2 blue, 1/2 country white walls. looks superb.

We also hung the door for the bathroom and that about does it for when the Family was around. But after they left, felica wanted to continue working so we kept going and put in almost all the ceiling tiles, and clear coated the door once.

Also Zach and Felix came over, and helped remove yet another old chimney from the house (number 3) but thankfully it is the last chimney remaining, so no more of that!

Things are really going along quite smoothly.. hope to get some pictures up soon!

Thanks for all the comments and hits!

Also be sure to check out my Education website!

Just thought that I would throw a link up to show off what I've been doing in my classes.

This is a required web page that all teaching candidates must complete before graduation.. let me know what you think!

GO TO IT!

Grinding to a stop

For the last 2 weeks things have really seemed to slow down around here, I'm working on getting my schoolwork done and catching up on relaxing, while Felica continues to hammer away at her Mary Kay and daycare. I feel that at this point and time though, things are slowly going to start ramping up more.

For example, last night I installed a water softener, and a whole house filtration system (very proud of myself, I just hope that It doesn't get any leaks. or I'll be in big trouble). As it stands right now though, you can really tell the difference that it has made in the water system overall. When I showered this morning, I used way to much soap and could barely get rid of all the suds, did the same thing last night when I was washing my hands.. Hopefully this will really cut down on the amount of soap used overall in the entire house. The taste of the water overall has greatly improved as well. I did test our water too to see if there was anything wrong with it, and on all the tests I did, everything showed up just as it is suppose to, so that is a big relief also.

Next big project on the list is to finish up Felica's office or to put in a Dishwasher, haven't decided which will be first but you never really know until the time comes to get it done!

Alrighty, well I'll let you go for now and I'll also try to get some pictures up soon.. (not quite sure where the camera is though.
