moving onto item #2
memories of dishes in the bath tub
The house “to do” list was established when we moved into our house. items included were kitchen (check), bathroom, windows, and basement. The JOYS of owning an older home- lots of character, antiquated detail- and lots of work..ie, money! It seems that everything needs renovated!
The major kitchen remodel that took 10 months was finished just a few months ago. I still vividly remember doing dishes in the bath tub for the last year…ugh! I came home last week to an “odd” smell in the house. Apparently nick was a little distracted from homework and started hammering away at the basement wall. Layers of plaster covered by wall paper covered by paint mixed in with some serious black mold. And now, we have a basement renovation in progress!
I was talking with Aunt Tam on the phone this weekend. She casually comments “if Nick is anything like his dad he will always have some sort of home project underway.” She hit the nail on the head.
what? really? no one told me this!! You mean, I will ALWAYS live in distruction and disarray! oh man! On the good side, Nick is incredibly talented, creative, and diligent in all the projects he pursues 
lead paint, plaster dust, and mold spores!!
in shambles
Kitchen is done (well almost)
So, the kitchen has pretty much been in the same state for about 2 months as I was waiting for my christmas break to finish up some random things like crown molding and the garbage disposal.
But, I somehow managed to lose 4 pieces of 8 ft hardwood crown molding. Hmmmm… I have looked everywhere for them and nowhere to be found.
I’ve been delaying posting a picture of the kitchen because I wanted it to be complete, but since the crown molding may not happen soon or at all, I figured I’d post some.
