Lots of things were done on our garage this week! The whole project is almost finished!!! I am so excited and a little overwhelmed by it being almost done! This is opening up so many other projects for us! I have a feeling August is going to be very busy!!
Monday, July 25: Our siding was delivered while the kids and I were at the pool today. I can’t wait to see how all these boxes are going to look on my garage!
Tuesday, July 26: The builders were back today at 8am to start on the siding! It’s a different color than our house but will match the shed that we painted the color we want our house to be once we paint it. It’s called Pacific Blue! I’m hoping this will motivate my hubby to finally paint our house which we have been talking about for years now!!
I am so in love with this color!!! It makes my house look totally different! I can’t wait until it’s all one color! Unfortunately, now I know that I will also have to repaint the white trim and my red shutters and door. They look faded already, but they are going to look really faded when the whole house is darker! Just another project to add to the list! Oh the joys of being a homeowner! However, my competitiveness wants our house to be the nicest house in the neighborhood and that’s going to be tough with the new construction right behind us, but ya’ll know I am up for that challenge!!!
Wednesday, July 27: Today was the last day for our builders (for now anyway). They worked about a half day finishing the siding and cutting an opening into the attic from the garage. They would have installed our attic ladder but, unfortunately, we purchased the wrong size ladder. So we had to make a trip to Menards this evening to exchange it for the correct size. It was a little frustrating, especially because our garage could have been basically completed today with this ladder installation, and now we have to wait again. I’m getting antsy to get my basement and attic organized!
I even tried pulling the cars into the garage today to see how they would fit! I am so excited that we can fit my truck and my hubby’s Rogue in the garage together and it looks like we have a ton of room for storage still!!
Thursday, July 28: It was a nice and quiet day at our house. My parents stopped by to see the work that had been done and so that my dad could check out the electrical materials we bought on Sunday. Dad and Jay are going to do the electrical work themselves. This should be interesting. LOL! It also stormed this afternoon, so the kids and I enjoyed reading books and cuddling all afternoon!
Friday, July 29: Our builder said that the workers who were going to install our drywall would be at our house either today or Saturday. No one today so hopefully Saturday. Then we just have to wait for our builders to get back to us on when they can install the attic ladder and put in my outlet on the other side of my garage. Then it will be electrical work that my Dad and Hubby will install. She’s almost finished and I’m excited, but there is so much more work to be done! The organizing of the attic and garage are probably going to take me until school starts and that’s less than a month away for me!! That’s pure craziness!!!
Anyway, without the builders and noise the past 2 days, the kids and I enjoyed some quiet time reading and just hanging out with each other!
Saturday, July 30: Still no drywall!! A little frustrating but we made the most of it and headed to Little Amerricka for the afternoon! It was so much fun!!
I love family fun days!!!
Until next time, my friends!!
I hope you had an awesome weekend!!!!
