Day 256

This is going to be a quick post because I have a lot of things going on at the moments, but thought it was high time for a housing update and some pictures.
 
Sometimes I take the kids over after dinner because it's their only chance to see their daddy.  They run around the deck, climb on lawn mowers and put stones in mailboxes.
 

 
The never-ending cabinet projects.  The ones in Penelope's room are "done" and the ones on the right, in Oliver's room still need more coats.  It takes at least a week for the paint to dry since it's oil-based.  The front of the doors have at least 3 coats and the back has 2.  Now you can see what a paint this is.
 
 
The fridge is in the kitchen!

 
Got the second coat on the bottom cabinet frames.  The top are done at 3 coats and the bottom just needs one more.
 
 
 

We had to get a part of our leaky roof repaired over out dining room.  Not cheap. We called A&J Home Improvements and from the time they came out to first look at it, to the time it was completed... it was like 4 days maybe.  Would call them again.
 
Our front yard view from standing on the garage roof.

 
A few nights ago, my dad and I went over and started hanging up doors that were painted.  We only got 6 uppers because the other ones need more coats.  Once they were up, I could see runs in the paint on the sides.  Josh suggested just wiping it with paint thinner.  I hope that works.  These kitchen cabinets have really been my big project and besides one coat (that Josh's mom and grandma did)  I've done it all by myself. Besides hanging them up.  BUT I am ready to be done with it ;)
