Updates on the House and Life
Ian and I were scolded yesterday for not blogging since beginning of July, so here I am.
We have started alot of project here in the Groves' house. We painted the bathroom and the bathroom ceiling because it was an awful Lime Green!!! So that is all painted but due to tape pulling paint off the walls mishaps, there are still a few touch ups that I need to do.
Our bedroom still isn't completely finished, we are doing the japanese theme as you may remember, and we are making the ceiling look like a rice paper door affect. We bought hand made tissue paper that looks like rice paper and pushpinned that into the ceiling, now we have bought wood beams and Ian has cut a few, I just have to prime and paint them black.
In our living room, I have started measuring and drwaing lines because one wall I am going to paint 10 x 10 squares of different shades of brown/tans. And Ian has taken down our old small mantle and is now in the process of making a larger one that extends further.
This past week project was our basement. It was just FULL of boxes every where, and camping stuff everywhere, and winter stuff everywhere. There was a shelf in corner of one side of my basement, so I orginized all the camping and winter stuff on to that shelf, then I took apart all the boxes (these were from moving) and I put them under the stairs, out of the way and out of sight. Then Ian came home from work early (it was my day off) and decided to build me some shelves for a pantry beside my new little deep freeze. So we went to home depot and bought some suplies and Ian built a shelf. It looks wonderful!!! Now I have some room to store lots of food. Right now it is somewhat empty but I will get it full of wonderful things!!!
OK, that's the house. Now for Ian and me. In the beginning of June, Ian got a promotion in his job, which also meant a nice little raise. The guy who was running the truck decided to move, and so Ian got put in charge and learned lots of new things and now all of the people Continuous Gutters are happy because Ian is very good at what he does and they all respect him. I am so proud of my baby.
Nothing is really new with me, work is same old, same old. I am studying right now though because I have my practical evaluation retake on Sept 9, and there is no way I am letting myself fail this one.
So that is pretty much what is going on. Oh, other than Justin and Elizabeth got a new dining room table and gave their old one to us and WE LOVE IT!!! Thanks Liz!!!...and Justin.
