Working on the House...Always

Well no new pics, but was just going to share this website with those in Nashville looking for good deals. www.faithfulprovisions.com/ It is a friend of my sisters who taught her coupon shopping and has grocery store deals as well as drug store and any other good deals going on around town....definitely worth checking out. We have just been watching football and working on the house. It was a GREAT football weekend at the Waymire house (sorry Engesaths). We have gotten the kitchen cabinets painted minus a few touch-ups from where I keep running into them last night, and we have the new wall in the living room all sanded and ready for paint....I spent most of yesterday on my hands and knees scrubbing the floors from drywall dust hopefully for the last time for awhile. We marked 5 years in our house this month and in those 5 years we have added a 750 square foot patio, a large smoker, a carport and shed with driveway, popped up the roof to make a master suite and alabama room upstairs, put new floors and Parkes room, new vanity in downstairs bath, took out two walls in living room opening it to a small office and building new wall separating from Parkes room, took out one wall in kitchen opening it to dining room, rearranged and painted kitchen cabinets, took out existing stairs and added a spiral staircase, removed brick chimny down middle of the house, rearranged laundry to make laundry room/mudroom, and added french door on back of the house with a butler's pantry area walk through to door. All of which we have done ourselves (minus framing upstairs, drywall upstairs, and taking out two walls in living room, but Brandon did help on all those projects) and most of which still needs finishing touches to be complete. We didn't really start doing stuff until 3 years ago and it is starting to take it's toll on me....I'm ready to be done (at least for awhile). So we made a goal to get it all finished up by the boy's birthdays/Christmas. I'm making a list of all the finishing touches to be done and hopefully get the front of the house reshingled and front porch added in the next month and we will be able to just enjoy our house for a little while.
