Almost done with project number 1.

So the bathroom has been sanded,except in areas where I cannot reach.Thank God the husband is tall.I am picking up swallowing, rollers,brushes tarps...everything needed to paint.I am excited.So I am painting this weekend.Then I am taking up the ugly laminate on floor.

Almost finished my bathroom

Well I started putting drywall tape over some gaps in my bathroom wall,and over some holes in my wall.Yesterday my daughter helped put drywall mud over the holes and gaps.
I sanded some of the spots today and I must say my bathroom diy is coming along beautifully.Tomorrow I will finish up,then I get to paint it.Doing home repairs is fun,and I learn as I go. I have never used drywall tape,or drywall mud before.

I am bummed.

Okay,so painting my bathroom has a small glitch.I just remembered that somehow,I forgot to strip the paper from behind the commode.Snap.My husband has to help me with taking the commode apart to finish stripping off the 30+ years of ugly wallpaper.

My little helper.

Today is Feb 4,2014.
The house is coming along just wonderful.The hubby and I finished our first husband/wife diy project.Now we are going to finish painting the master bathroom as soon as Friday rolls around.
My 3 year old granddaughter,found my paint samples we've accumulated from Home Depot and Lowes.So every morning she says what color are we painting the bathroom and my room?
This is absolutely cute,knowing she wants to help choose paint colors.

Our first diy project.

Okay yesterday,the hubby and I put up our ceiling light that we bought the day before at Home Depot.
Okay so this was fun to watch and help.Trying to watch him put the correct wires together was humorous.He couldn't figure it out,even though he can read and write perfect English.He was getting frustrated.Not funny.(yes it was).So at my suggestion,he capped the end of the wires with wingnuts.Problem solved.We have a working ceiling light.Yay!!One husband and wife diy project done.Painting the bathroom that I've stripped is next.

Our little house

Our home is actually a condo.But she is beginning to feel love.So now I am,along with my partner in crime,my husband ,will be finishing up my first diy project of finishing painting the master bathroom.I decided to paint it "Deepest Aqua"because I love blue.Will post photos later.

First DIY project

Okay so we have been nicely settled into our home,I have almost finished my first do it yourself home project.
I hated the ugly wallpaper in our master bathroom,so I stripped it off with a barbeque spatula,yes spatula because it is metal and has a straight edge for scraping.The glue came off easy.
Now that it is done,sanding is next,then the walls get painted Deepest Aqua.
