I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore

Just when I thought I'd found all the dirty little secrets (and nails, and screws) here, when I was on my stepstool at eyelevel with the top of the china cabinet (which holds games) I found this:

2 dozen place settings.  They're gold colored, but they're just stainless steel.  But...I don't think we'll be short of spoons anymore!

Floor needs some work.  But not yet.  Rob, I put a no-slip thing under the rug.

The guest bathroom.  Really, it's not blue, it's more...greenish blue.

I got the first quilt hung.  Now to paint the wall.


I put new screens in the master bedroom windows

And i painted most of this wall.  Now I need some scaffolding or something to get the last bit.

Pleasant



Since I subjected everyone to utter grossness in my last post, here is something pretty, from the front of the cabin.

Don't read this if you are skittish, especially about rodents

First bit of wall sawed open

oooooh disgusting!  The smell, the look, oh, horrid!

So then began the routine:  Drill a hole, look inside with camera, saw open if mice are spotted

Remove mice, vacuum up bits, wipe with lysol wipes

some of my tools:  gloves, vacuum, wipes, also a mask and goggles

And now i've screwed the drywall bits back on

it's looking better already  Spackle anyone?
