It's Done!

It has taken me too long to get these pictures up but last Thursday I finished the pantry cabinets by adding the real handles. I am so exited and grateful to Eric for a great job. you may notice my bo bo if you look closely. I drilled one of the holes in the wrong. I still have to fill and pain the mistake but they have still been in use now for 10 days and I love it.

Refresh

I found this high chair at a garage sale for $5.


I added $3 in spray paint $5 in fabric and about an hour of work. I am pleased with the results. I am glad to get rid of by primary colour plastic high chair for one that is a little easier on the eyes

Progress

We filled the gap in the floor with a concrete patch Friday night. Then Saturday morning Eric ripped out the old shelves. I was amazed at how much we where able to save. Eric did a flawless job of finishing the end of the built in shelves. They look Perfect!

The shelves are in!!!! wahoo

We taped on the fronts so we could nail them in place.

Do you like out paper handles? I was having a hard time picturing the handles and before we drill holes I wanted to be sure. So I cut out paper handles that are the same size and color as the ones I wanted. I think they will work well now that I see them. So all that is left is to add handles and do some touch up paint.

THANK YOU ERIC what a great job!

The pantry is almost done!

It is getting so close I can't wait. Last Saturday I put some urethane on the shelves and we brought them in side. I was so exited I fulled them up ever though it will be next Saturday before I can move them out of the dinning room and under the stairs. so I have been painting. Paining the wall painting the door fronts it all is taking longer than I want it to. But that is the way all projects go you get them almost done and the little finishing things take as mush time as the hole constriction.

never mind Livvy Devil face the shelves are great!

Then we hit a snag

So I was supposed to check all the outlets before Eric closed up the wall after taking out the plug in. I forgot to check the Dinning room and weeks later I found out that the outlets in the dinning room were out. So yet again I made more work for Eric he had to open the wall up and check on the wires. Turns out the dinning room is on the same secret as the plug we took out and er should have connected the wires since the secret is wired in series.

We found out that by code there needs to be a junction box at every splice so Eric drilled thought stair stringer to put the box in the closet.


Another nice patch job by Eric who fixes all my mistakes

Ring around the Toilet

I have had a ring around the toilets in my house ever since we moves in 2 years ago. I have tried many thing to get rid of it but nothing has worked. Mackenzie Pew said I need a cleaner with an acid in it. I found this stuff with packaging right out of 1974. I thought I would give it a try. It is a powder and I used it with a green scrubby and I got it all off!!! I was so thrilled I has Eric come and see it. I had to use gloves it burns your skin but it works. It is silly I am so thrilled about this but I am and I want to share.
