WooHoo! James Had a Day Off!

James had today off!  It felt like a 2 week vacation!  Now that the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over, we are ready to take charge of our home again!  We can get this done!

Ben is helping Daddy wire up some electrical switches!


You can't tell in this picture, but half of this wall is in perfect condition and ready for primer and paint.  The other half is not.  I've been slaving away trying to get the walls in as perfect condition as possible.  It's time consuming and there isn't much to show for it!



This was our surprise home improvement of the day!  I had a $10 off $50 purchase coupon for Lowe's that expired today.  I honestly think of these coupons as cash, because we actually need things at Lowe's.  Lots of things.  So we dashed on over because I knew I was going to buy a gallon of paint, but what to spend $30 on?  Well we found great cabinet pulls on clearance!  So we snatched those up.  Unfortunately, we both calculated a total of 16 pulls needed, but after installing about 10 at home, we realized we are 2 short.  And since there were only 16 left of this particular kind, we can't go back to our Lowe's.  So I'll be searching area Lowe's the next few days.  If I can't find them, I'll be recruiting friends and family in other parts of the country to look for this particular pull for us!  Sometimes it's hard for us to do basic things like count, but James got all the pulls installed in about 20 minutes!  Way to go James!
