We got the living room done!!! I can't even express how excited I am to have a room done. We've been working on it nonstop for about three weeks, although it feels like I've been painting for my entire life. It's been so much work, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.<br />
<br />
Let's do a before and after first, and then there's more pictures of the process below. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is what the room looked like when we first saw the house. And except for the couch, chair, and pictures, this is what it still looked like when we first moved in:</div>

It was tiring, messy work. First we had to spray the ceiling with water and scrape the popcorn off. Once it was dry, we fixed the imperfections in the ceiling with joint compound. When <i>that </i>was dry, we sanded the whole ceiling and wiped it down with tack cloths. Then we painted, which included two coats of primer and one coat of paint. (It probably should have had two coats of paint, but it was like 10:00 at night when we finished the first coat of paint, and I felt physically incapable of doing another one.) The whole ceiling process took about a week and was the longest and hardest part of the project. </div>

We painted all the trim in the room. The trim in the whole house is that weird almond color, so we're changing it all to a crisp white. This picture, where the white trim is up against the yellowy wallpaper and trim of the kitchen, shows the contrast really well. </div>

Apparently, we didn't clean the sanding dust off the ceiling well enough, or wait long enough after painting the ceiling. I don't know, but we peeled off all the layers of primer and paint along with the painter's tape all along the edge of the living room and hallway. It was incredibly frustrating. We had to go back and put joint compound all around the edges, sand it, re-prime and paint the ceiling (using a paint shield this time instead of tape), and then touch up the edges of the wall too. Bleh.</div>

And a few more after pictures just for fun. We did the whole thing in about three weeks, but it honestly felt like forever and I'm SO glad it's done.

We've been working like mad on the living room, and are only a couple days away from finishing. I thought I would blog in little bits and pieces as we worked on things, but turns out that I've been so tired at the end of every day that I just don't have the energy for it, so it'll all be coming in one big post in a few days. It's looking good though, in my humble opinion, and I'll be SO GLAD to have a room totally done. Come back in a few days and see!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00540011551349404148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835769936080673419.post-12442112785571566362016-06-28T21:01:00.003-05:002016-06-28T21:01:56.672-05:00It's The Little ThingsSometimes, the best home improvement projects are the relatively quick, easy ones, like a new kitchen faucet! Although, as with most "simple" projects, there is, of course, the
requisite late-night trip to Home Depot for a 50 cent part. Mike's
actually still there right now (probably wandering aisles for fun). <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We have officially finished our first project! (Well, for all intents and purposes. There will be a few more finishing touches). Before painting walls, or putting up blinds, or any of that jazz, we knew we wanted to build the kids a swingset/playhouse. So that's what we spent this last week doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But before we get to that, I have a few other pictures to post of a few other little fun things we've been up to in between all the craziness of unpacking and getting settled. (So. Much. Heavy. Lifting.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what most of our house looked like for the first few days. A sea
of boxes. Oy. We managed to get mostly settled within a few days, but
I'll be happy to not move again anytime in the foreseeable future.</div>

<b>Now, onto our project! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we decided to build a swingset, Mike decided that he didn't want a kit. The wood in them isn't all that sturdy, and he wanted to build it the way he wanted. So instead, he researched it a ton and we just made it ourselves. We bought the lumber, screws, and slide at Home Depot, the swings on Amazon, and a bunch of beefy bolts off eBay. Mike seriously was so awesome in getting it all figured out and planned. He's so handy and did an amazing job! </div>

It doesn't look like a lot of wood here in the truck, but trust me, it was a lot of wood. We rented the pickup from Home Depot to get it home, and it took us a good half hour to unload it all and carry it around to the backyard. A lot of two-by-fours, planks for the floorboards, and big solid pieces for the frame. </div>

The build begins! First, Mike cut these pieces to size and assembled the sides of the frame for the playhouse portion.</div>

Once the frame was up, we got to work installing floor joists. A lot
of playsets leave the bottom open for a sandbox or just dirt, but we
wanted it to have a floor.</div>

The next day, after being in the heat of the big yard sale for a couple of hours, I cut and installed the bottom floor railing and slats
while Mike worked on the swings. He built the A-frame, drilled the holes for the swings, and then
we leveled and measured for a support on the side of the playhouse to
attach the beam to.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The finished product! It still needs a roof, and we have stain for it too, but we used pressure-treated wood, so it needs to dry out for a couple weeks before we stain it. </div>

Reading through this post myself, it sounds like it was pretty easy, but boy was this thing a ton of work! There was a lot of measuring, sawing, and drilling in screws. There was also a lot of trial and error in the details, and a few bonks and bruises along the way. It took us a full week to get it done, and it was super hot outside the whole time. But we're so happy with the finished product!<br />
<br />
We're also planning on installing a bunch of fun things for imaginative play, like a steering wheel, telescope, old rotary phones, random switches and buttons, etc. </div>

Well, we knew there'd be sweat, but I didn't think we'd have blood and tears already! We spent yesterday cleaning out the attic. Oh, the attic. I love that we have this attic, because in a year or two, we plan to finish it and have another bedroom, bathroom, and bonus room. But yesterday morning, all it was was a huge space filled with really old, really dusty stuff. As I said in the previous post, the sellers left us pretty much everything they owned, which included basically everything in the attic, including, but definitely not limited to: really old furniture, lamps, mattresses, stained bedding and clothes, a pool table, old Christmas decorations, and boxes upon boxes of random, dusty, STUFF. We sorted out anything that was yard-salable, and trashed everything else.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These pictures don't even do justice to how full of stuff this attic was.</div>

<div>
Guys, we completely filled our minivan to the gills and took it to the dump THREE TIMES. So. Much. Garbage. We had to wear masks and use gloves. And we haven't even brought the yard sale stuff down in to the garage yet, because our backs are already to the breaking point from the last week of moving furniture and boxes (remember, we not only moved our stuff in, but we also moved all their old stuff out), so we're going to do it slowly throughout this week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then there was blood. I was the first victim, and slashed my arm on a wire hanger while throwing a bag full of them into the van. A couple butterfly bandages, a couple tears (it wasn't that bad, I'm just a total wimp when it comes to injury), and I was good to go. Mike apparently didn't want to be left out, so he cut his knuckle really bad on a piece of glass while at the dump. We considered going in for stitches, but in the end decided just to bandage him up good and make sure he doesn't bend his finger for a couple weeks. I cried when he got hurt too. Note: You don't want me around in an emergency situation; Mike's your man. I'm a total basket case when there's blood involved. Mike took good care of me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started at about 8:00 in the morning and got done around 3:00, so then we showered and headed to Home Depot, which is our home away from home lately. We picked up some blinds, a couple ceiling fans, light fixtures, a new kitchen faucet (yay!), and a couple other odds and ends. While we were getting into the car to come home, the kids were like "Ah! There's ants in the van!" We had put the booster seats in the garage while Mike was making the dump runs, and the ants hoarded to the kids' completely crumb-filled car seats and went to town, and I guess Mike didn't notice when he put the seats back into the van, which is similarly crumb-filled, because car cleaning is pretty low on my priority list right now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I lifted off their seats and the seat cushions of the van were literally covered in ants. I freaked out, brushed off as many as I could, and decided to clean the van when we got home, regardless of how tired and sore I already was. Because ew. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh, and did I mention it was raining the entire day? Yeah. At least the attic wasn't flaming hot while we were cleaning it, so it was actually a blessing. But in order to clean the van in the pouring rain, I had to back it up to the garage (which is full of yard sale stuff) and haul the vacuum in through the back. I vacuumed out the van (a huge job, since there was not only all the standard crumbs and mess, but also all the remnants of taking 3 loads of trash to the dump), and then got to work on the booster seats themselves, which I'm embarrassed to admit, I have never deep cleaned, only given a cursory wipe from time to time. And we've had these for years, because they're just the bottoms of the convertible seats the kids have been using ever since they were out of infant seats. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why, oh why, do they make car seats with so many little crevices?? Every little screw hole and indent was jam packed with crusty old crumbs. Don't judge me, just go out and look at your kids' car seats sometime. Lift up the fabric and really look. Unless you're a mom of steel who doesn't let her kids eat in the car (a great decision), I guarantee yours look the same way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, that's a hour I'd rather not relive, but I got it all clean with the help of a bunch of cleaning wipes and a little flathead screwdriver, which was great at poking all the junk out of the crevices. I threw the covers in the washing machine (wow, so that's what they used to look like!), and now our van is ant-free. I then put the kids to bed, did our weekly budget, and then collapsed into a heap. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that was my Saturday. </div>

Both should have happened on the same day, but closing was delayed, and the sellers were kind enough to allow us to start moving in on our originally planned date.<br />
<br />
We're moving all our stuff on Monday, and spending yesterday, today, and tomorrow cleaning and going through stuff. There's a lot of stuff still in the house, because we came to an understanding with the sellers that they would rather not take most of their furniture and other things, and we'd be happy to take what they don't want and yard sale the rest to raise more money for improvement projects.<br />
<br />
So when they moved out, they basically took their clothes, pictures and some personal items, and basically left <i>everything else, </i>so it's a ton of work. Yesterday we amassed a huge yard sale pile, found a few treasures for ourselves, and threw away <b>fourteen </b>bags of trash. And that was only from one bedroom, one bathroom, half the kitchen and half the garage. We still have more than half the house to go through, and the attic. An attic which is full of stuff and broiling lava hot right now. That'll be fun. But we're glad we have it, because we plan on finishing it eventually.<br />
<br />
So, we're back to work today, to acquire more treasures and sore muscles.

Then we bought a house. Now we have a lot of work to do.<br />
<br />
We want to blog about our projects and progress as we update, add to, and improve our home, partly for ourselves, and partly to share some of what I'm sure we'll learn as we embark on our DIY adventure. Stay tuned for updates (probably at least weekly, if not more often) as we get this party started!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, here is our new house! (Interior pics are down below, too)<br />

<br />
We've been so blessed in so many ways with our move from Utah to Tennessee. Everything has fallen into place in such a perfect way that we know, without a doubt, that this is where we're supposed to be. Heavenly Father's hand has been so evident in our lives lately that I can't start talking about any of this without acknowledging Him for everything.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: #666666;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Some background on our house</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">:</span></b></span></span></span></span><br />
It's a 30 year old house that's had one owner since it was built - a really sweet older couple who are now moving in with their daughter. They've done great with keeping the house up mechanically, and replaced a lot of things like the roof, windows, HVAC, etc, which is great because the house is in wonderful shape.<br />
<br />
Aesthetically, on the other hand, the house looks like what it is - a grandma and grandpa's house. So there is a lot to do to make it our own and bring it up to date. Which, I'm not gonna lie, we're kind of really excited about. We haven't had a house for the last three years, and even before that, our only other home was one that was pretty new when we bought it, so we haven't had many chances to get on board the House DIY train, even though Mike is super handy at fixing and building stuff.<br />
<br />
We're moving in about a week, and have already spent countless hours wandering Home Depot, pouring over how-to articles, and agonizing over paint chips (I think we have over 50 of them floating around the apartment at last count).<br />
<br />
So, here are some "before" pictures. These are the pictures from the MLS listing. We're excited to get in there and get going!<br />
