MORE home improvements
This turned out to be a great weekend for ripping up the original bathroom. Goodbye tacky linoleum, goodbye ugly (and leaking) toilet, goodbye vile, disgusting, putrid formica countertop. God, I hated that countertop!
All those horrible items are being replaced by Home Depot specials but at least they look a lot nicer that their previous counterparts. We didn't bring home the vanity and sink. That's going to happen later this week. Today, we picked out paint, vinyl tiles, luan, and a toilet. The paint colors are very neutral - some sort of beige. Not my first choice but it was a mutual decision. The other colors I chose were quite dark (I loved the raisin color!) and this bathroom does not have a window. Let me correct this startement - it HAD a window but the previous owners covered it up when they installed a shower/bathtub insert. Idiots.
So, Husband is busy laying the luan ::snicker:: while I assist him with other little helper duties. Plus, I am trying to get the girls to finish their rooms because tomorrow we will be at Six Flags Great Adventure. All day. According to the forecast, the weather is supposed to cooperate with us and stay somewhere in the high 80's. I hope the humidity is under control. I've got to remember to pack sunscreen.
I've got to run and finish "helping" Husband. Have a great day!

WOW! Busy, busy, busy! You are always working on something! I did some work around our house today as well. Our spare room has become a catch-all and I am determined to get it cleaned out, re-floored and made into a craft / guest room. I got a fair amount done today. Hopefully I will be able to get it cleared out soon. I want to tear out the carpet and lay tile or laminate I think. Hmmm. I just can't decide. I already have both in the house.
