Pioneers lived such the life.

Well hey guys!! It's been a few days. Why, you might ask?? Oh...I don't know. This whole "remodel"  thing has finally hit...blisters and all. I continue to face "the wall" as its lovingly been called. I've developed quite the ADHD approach to it. I'll peel for a few minutes...wander around and knock a few things down...sadly walk back and realize the hole hasn't gotten any bigger, and peel again. I know realize that people PRE wallpaper must've lives such glorious lives. I mean, that stuff is literally of the devil. I'm even convinced hell is COVERED in it. I have now made seven (count them) trips to Lowe's. The employees graciously continue to smile at me, but two of them literally run the other way. Who knew my questions could be so overwhelming?? Tomorrow, I tackle the beauty that is the garage floor. That's right folks...I'm "epoxying" it ALL by myself. Dad...if you're reading this, PLEASE meet me at the house around 9. AM. On the dot. Don't be late. I've decided to tell the last few days via pictures. Words just dont seem to do this train wreck justice. Continue below...

Spencer spent HOURS trying to knock that thing down...


Crossing off the first item on my "list". So productive.




Alison diggin up the trellis in the back.


The neighbors decided they wanted our awning...so we just transported it.


Luke and Spencer taking down the fence.


Don't worry. I knocked over the ENTIRE trellis with my bare hands. You can be scared.


Luke and Spencer. Woosh.


Luke getting his "Suzy Homemaker" on. I have good friends :)


Mom...still working on "the wall"


Oh...no big deal...just wearing our protective masks. Saving our lives.


Who know that Springdale was so cool?? In my city, you just pile your junk on the curb and THEY COME GET IT!!


This is what I did on Saturday INSTEAD of home stuff. So worth it :)



And here it is folks...the first blister of the day. Man.


SHOUTOUT to these lovely ladies who have become kinda my "project coordinators". they ROCK.


Welp...thats all for tonight. Obviously, I'm going to need my beauty rest if I expect the guys at Lowe's to continue answering my endless, STUPID questions. Check back soon!!

Much love,

CT
