Days 16 & 17

Yesterday was my birthday! It was a delightful day full of fun surprises and wonderful relaxation. I thought we were going to work at Sugar Pine as planned but Dave made the decision to take the day off - and of course I didn't argue too much...it was so nice to take a break! We lounged around, ate some great food and rented a movie. Perfect Saturday, one which we hadn't had in weeks! Here are just some of the sweet surprises I woke up to! I'm truly blessed! -)


Today we were back to the grind. This morning we picked up the door from storage and before heading on to our 24 Day Challenge, we stopped by 2 houses Dave has been watching. Both need a ton of work but have been on the market for quite some time so we may be able to get them cheap-cheap...As soon as The Beauty sells we will be buying 2-3 more with that money so we are trying to scope out possible deals in the meantime.

When we got to the house, I went to work finishing up the painting on the shed and Dave installed the new front door, which looks fabulous! After this, he installed the new exterior lights, sprayed the cabinet doors/drawers with primer and started painting color on the kitchen walls. Our granite guy was unable to install the granite yesterday as planned. He brought it to the house but realized he needed to remake a few sections. He supposed to come install it all tomorrow...

I painted the first coat of red on the new door after finishing the shed and the first coat of gloss on the fireplace. Happy to see some more progress happening on the inside! The outside is now 99% done which is exciting...just have a few teeny things left to do.

We are happy with our progress so far and thrilled with how the outside turned out! Looking forward to watching the inside transform over the next week.

Here's a few pics of the painted shed...
