This weekend was time for the husband and his dad to do some manly projects together {i.e. things I would have no idea how to help him with and/or require a blowtorch}. These are also known as un-fun projects in my mind, but the kind the husband loves! It was also great to have his parents spend Father’s Day weekend with us. They came into town on Friday night and we started some of the prep work. The goal was to add a water faucet on the back exterior of our house {we only had them on the sides}, add a utility sink in the basement near the cat boxes, changes some lights switches {previously one switched turned on every single light in the basement so the guys re-wired so each room was separate}, change our bedroom door handle {sorry Hawkeye – no more breaking in every morning or when we are out of town} and add drywall to one of the framed walls down there.
Our basement never makes the blog. That’s because previously, it was a vast wasteland of 1800 square feet of concrete, 2×4’s and drywall. Here is a little tour pre-projects:
We polished off the night with a barbeque with the family, including husband’s sister and brother-in-law. After much whining/arguing/etc. I conned the guys into moving our sectional in the bonus room to the main floor and the main floor couch and two small stairs up {more on that later, but essentially, the cats are destroying our new furniture and the leather is just so much firmer and hair repellent}. I am still playing with new layouts.
