Fun at 1402 Camp Rd.

So, once we actually moved into the condo we got a bit distracted and never finished any of the random jobs that we didn't get to before the move. In the interest of clearing off some of my ever growing to-do list we decided that since Sandor had a Saturday off we should take the morning and do some house fixing. We don't have the cash for anything major, but we've had paint sitting around to fix up the trim that was never touched up, paint the door since we got a huge green smudge on it painting the trim, and the most important finally fixing the wall around the new countertops my dad put in about 3 months ago. and then some other random things like hanging towel hooks (yes we have lived here for 8 months and I haven't bothered to hang towel hooks), fixing a hole in the bedroom wall Sandor helped make during the move, and hanging up the last of the pictures that have been sitting all over the house. All in all it was an excellent success. The house to-do list is finished until we get enough money to start the hardwood floor project. And the countertops finally look finished!

Sandor peeling the 3 layers of paint off the door which ended up starting itself when he was trying to sand off the two (yes two) chain locks that were there (neither worked by the way so we got rid of those early on). He even took the old paint off the hinges!

Kaylinn intruiged by what is happening

Mishu not all that intruiged - she preferred continuing her nap in a box

the original shot of the kitchen - you can't really tell in this but the edges are peeling and the bottom was flaking off

kitchen with new sink and countertop (compliments of dad and Sandor), but wall not yet fixed

final product - so much better!

me fixing where we accidentally pained the ceiling

Kaylinn no longer intruiged

Mishu is however - this open door is so exciting!

  2. Your kitchen is 10x bigger than mine. Seriously. The kitchen counters made a big difference... I like 'em! Keep the condo photos coming. Sadly, this is the first I've seen of the new place. I promise we'll visit soon.
