I will catch up with everyones blogs tonight when I get home and start to chill but until then...
Saturday was spent filling concrete gaps in the emptied out room to level it as much as possible. I also decided since I just going to nail quarter round into the existing baseboards I better paint them. After I painted all the trim; I decided it would be best to paint the walls also. LOL! My painting and watching all the TV shows I had taped all week kept me busy off and on all day!
Sunday my parents and sister came into town for the Steelers game. We were playing the Browns. We met up with my brother-in-law, nephew and their friends (Browns fans) for a little pre-game snack at Local BrewHouse! YUMMO!!!
Then we all walked to the stadium (Heinz Field) for the game. Here we are in front of a fun little photo op outside the stadium.
Yeah! We won!!
After the game I started on the flooring a little. I struggled with the circular saw at first since I apparently had the blade way too low (if you are working with a circular saw; you want the blade down low enough so it just goes through the board). My dad had been using the saw before this and had cut something very thick and I did not know to move it. So, until I called them fretting like a mad woman; I wasted a lot of boards - oh well, part of the learning process. I got a lot done even though I struggled with the saw. I think things will go a lot better tonight - I should be done in record time now - HA!
Here is the progress so far...
Hugs to you all!!! Have a great week!!!
Anyone else in the middle of a large project? Anyone else getting pummeled with rain? Anyone else love using power tools?!?! What a rush!!! Ever struggle with "Do I work out or work on my project?" Such a toss up!
