PIG ROAST

I guess I really didn't get into detail in my last post about the party that I was having this week. Sorry.... I forgot to tell you sarah, if you are up it will be a fun time...

We are having a pig roast and well the list of invites keeps growing and growing thanks to Blaze. I feel like I have a million things to do and not enough time to get it all done.

I am hoping that it doesn't rain....

On another note if we get the house finished by aug we figured out our vacation spot.Kennebunport, Maine.

I am finally getting my hair cut and colored today. I am looking forward to it.

Parties

I guess is coming along slowly....

I have a big party this week. 73 people coming HOLY *&*%$$##@

Went to Elissa's brial shower this weekend.... its was fun...

Are we there yet...

We finished painting the blue on the house. It looks really nice although the house now stands out in the neighborhood. GREAT....

I will post a picture this weekend of the railing and the finished painted house. We still have to put siding and a new roof on the garage.

I have to put some more weed killer on the grass, it is still a mess. I also eventually need to do some landscaping.

New windows are not coming until July 25th. ewwww

wow

Its taking more time than I thought to get the painting done. The outside looks great. Can't wait to post a picture of it. Ordered the new railing, we should have that up by the end of the weekend. We have a busy week ahead...

painting

I have been painting all week, blaze is going to help me this weekend. Our goal is to get all the outside painting and accessories done this weekend except for the new vinyl railing.

Making the windows upstairs bigger, over budget on the windows by $600. Windows won't be in for 4 more weeks.

Good news, I have only used one gallon of paint, We will only need 3 gallons total.(Allumium paint goes a long way). We will be under budget on paint by $500 so I think we are still good on the $$$ end.

Paint used
3 gallons blue
1 gallon while
1 gallon on doors, can't get smaller can

Got new numbers for the house, the numbers that I posted in a previous post I am going to take back to HD.(Home Depot) Money saved by doing that $20

We started demo on the inside,well blaze has. That in itself takes a while,especially when you are gutting the whole house.

Long weekend ahead.....

Before Pictures

I have more before pictures,there was just too many to choose from....

Doors

Last night we got both doors finished. The first door is in the kitchen, the second is in the living room. Once we rip the wall out it is all going to be one room.I started to rip out the carpet in the living room, it smelled.

Happiness

Rev Runs Word Of The Day (How to achieve happiness)

Good afternoon, Do you desire to be happy? (Remember this) The proof of desire is pursuit. You must go to happy places.. Pursue happy people.. Create happy days... If you really desire happiness in your life, you must be willing to reach for it! Never blame anyone or anything for your unhappiness. Life rewards reachers. I have always said, "Happiness is never placed within your life, happiness is simply placed within your reach!" Now go out there and have a happy day! :) :)God is LoveRev Run

This is a quote from Rev Run. I really like. it is so true..... You need to create happiness in your life.Some people never find happiness in their life, its like they float by thinking that they are happy and some things make them happy for a short period of time but never find the true meaning of happiness.

Flips

I just watched flip this house and it started to make me think. How nice would it be if I was able to just pick out everything for a flip, hire someone and watch the work completed everyday.

I guess a need to snap out of my dream.....

on another note we were working on the flip today and one of the neighbors came out and gave us ice cold water. How nice.....( water is not turned on yet) Sweat was poring down my face. We cleaned up the yard today. cut all the hedges, it looks totally different now. Tommorow morning we are going to put chemicals on the yard to make the yard look nice and green.

Monday night we are going to put in two exterior doors after work. Wishful thinking most likely will just get one in.

oh bob the neighbor listens to WIERD music.

Pictures

Finally, I got some pictures.... You can see in the picture above, I put a stripe of blue, that is the color that we are going to paint the house. Also all of the windows are going to be replaced, the new ones will have grills in them and also wide white trim around them. Also replacing all the railing with new vinyl railing. Everything is really overgrown. I called to get the electric turned on and they told me that it hasn't been in service for over a year. The yard is big for being in town. The two front doors we got are full length stain glass REALLY NICE. The first picture looks really white on the bottom of the railing thats becasue i painted it. it was really ugly before, I just forgot to bring my camera.

new neighbors

working on the house tonight, the next doors neighbor comes out. We start to talk and my husband says to BOB is the junk in the middle of our two houses ours. BOB replys no thats my once a year birthday party chairs and table. I thought I was going to kill Blaze. What an idiot. So meeting the new neighbor didn't go well, after that BOB was using sissors to cut his lawn. He is a bit of a character.

We also met another neighbor down the street. She came over and was very happy that we bought the place. I think people are just happy we are cleaning the place up...

Tonka

I thought Tonka needed his own post. He wouldn't pose last night, he also hates the hot weather and the camera. Sally on the other hand loves the attention....

They are happy today in the basement where it is cool.

Tonka also thinks that the new lawn mower is a game, its too funny.

lawn work

B- is really trying to get the yard looking good. It was really hot last night, I was installing my new solar lights in the front yard. I will have to take a picture of them tonight. They look great and I did it myself. awesome...

pictures

oh by the way I took the main picture on the page at the grand tetons national park. I never saw anything like it before.

I know I feel like Martha, I just wish i had her money and could put plants and trees all over my

yard I would love it. Also I put a picture of the

new lawn animal....big green

I have another dog tonkia he wouldn't pose for a

picture.....

ummmmmmmm

My Patience is running thin, not to mention its still hot outside, we still didn't close and I am not happy about it. It keeps getting pushed back and back and now its going to be wed but i am not holding my breath.

On another note our lawnmower broke and we needed to get a new one. Yes, we broke down and got a John Deer. Its the one that you use your arms to turn and it goes in a circle. Ya, I need some practice with that I am not allowed to use it until I get a few more practice sessions in. Good news, It will cut the lawn in under and hour, before it took us 3. The machine is huge. B- thinks he is a professional on it, because thats what they use. Too funny....

Pictures are coming, someone also cut the lawn at the new house so thats a plus. One less job to do this week.

Hot Hot Hot

Its way to hot today. But I can't complain the avg temp in my area for a whole year is something like 48. So the 90's are music to my ears today I guess....

Pictures next post....
