Started painting on all the mended fences. It was pretty hot still.  I just kept waiting and waiting for that cold front to come thru.  It finally did late Sunday evening. But still ran out of paint.  Got more to keep going now. Better get back to work.  We will see ya soon.

 Don't know if you remember.  Hopefully you don't.  But our kitchen was eternally stuck in the 1970's. But see all the aweful scroll work, everywhere/ Under the cabinets, by the kitchen windows, the ugly outdated trim was all over. Now Look!! Much better!!!  Now I just need to start updating all the cabinet doors and all the drawer pulls.  We still havn't decided what to do with the ugly formica cabinet tops and backsplash. I wish I knew someone that could do that epoxy marble look that I see on you tube.  If you know someone that does it and is willing to travel out to East Tawakoni, let me know ok? Started painting on the fence.  It's Coming along. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics to share right now, but I will post some next week. Well better get back to work.  Hopefully we will see all you guys soon.

The fence in the front yard has been pretty jacked up every since we bought the place. But no more! We got it all repaired and looking good. Still needs to be painted, but I will knock that out in the next week or so. 

There is something about a riding lawn mower. Sure you are an adult, but boy does it feel just like being a kids whizzing around the yard on that sucker.  Here is our new to us mower.  My dad gave it to us as they have no need for it any longer. It sure was a blast.  We are still going to be utilizing our neighbor Rick to do most of the heavy lifting because he has a huge commercial mower and our property is like 3 acres. But this will really help out with some touch up work, and like I said, it's a blasty blast. Well back to work. We will see ya'll soon.

You ever just have one of those weekends where you are just like...uggg?  The week has been hectic.....ugg.  The kids are wearing me out.....uggg.  And I am so super tired....uggg. Us Too!!! But thankfully it wasn't this weekend. Wow! We got so super much done this weekend. Take a look below. Here are the updated entry way pictures with the new doors now in place and the top and bottom trims being painted, well primed. Here is one of the bedroom doors, also with the new door finally up.  Baseboard priming going on here too. And here is the new table again.  But with some new chairs.  Our great neighbor down the street got some new chairs and donated his old ones to us.  Wow.  Thank you Breedloves. I am super exhausted.  But also at the same time getting excited seeing the place coming together like this.  Well back to work.  Hope to see ya real soon.  

I should have the new Tshirts up for sale relatively soon. Just trying to tweek the final designs and add a few more choices to pick from.   I am not a photoshop guy.  I sure wish I was.  If any of you are photoshop people out there drop me a line please.  You can contact me on facebook messenger, text, email, or just leave me a comment here. Here are two of the designs that I have so far. I will keep at it and hopefully I hear from one of you guys real soon. And I will be sure to let you know when they become publically available for sale.  Might even have a few contests with some merchandise giveaways.  I will keep you posted. Back to work.  We will see ya'll real soon.  

Our kitchen table finally came in.  We think it matches nicely with the feel of the room.  These are not the chairs that go with this table.  This is just a hodge podge of chairs that we were given from an open storage unit liquidation down here.  I said we need some chairs.  The owner said, We have chairs, but if you want them you have to take them all.  So I now have a bunch of mismatched wooden chairs.  5 or 6 need repair.  Let me know if you are in need of any chairs. haha. We are going to find a nice bench to go against the wall.  And hopefully and eventually the kitchen countertops will also be this butcher block type.  Well back to work.  Take care and we will see you soon.

 The last of the popcorn ceilings are finally gone.  Yuck!  The stairway ceiling was the last place in the house that had that nasty acoustic ceiling texturing.  This house has been way more work than we anticipated.  We are both really happy with how it turned out. Let us know what you thing in the comments section or drop us a line. You know the email.  Well Back to work!  See ya'll soon!

 We put up the new curtain rods and curtains in the master bedroom and are quite pleased with them. They really dress up the room and they are blackout curtains. They are perfect to darken the room for an afternoon nap after being out on the water all day. We also got the curtain rods up in one of the guest bedrooms, but we haven't quite figured out the new curtains yet.  In these pictures are the old curtains. Well back to work. See ya soon!

So TXDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) is creating a Quinlan bypass. It kinda sucks for all the old main street businesses (can anyone say Pixar's Cars?) but it will really allieviate some horrible traffic thru town and on highway 34 also. And bonus for us. It will shave 10 minutes off the commute time from dfw. So. I am probably guessing that the completion date might be a bit off judging as how it has already passed, but I think that my guess would be, probably completed before the end of the year. Well back to work.  See ya soon.
