More of those wonderful pre-made meals last night. It was deliciouis...but there are just some things I really should not eat... and blast night was one of them. No naughty desserts though.=)I'll take whatever victories I can!!!
I ran around alot yesterday, doing laundry here at home, then hauling kids here and there. Went up to the old house, and saw that braces had been put in place to hold up the foundation walls. That was encouraging. Its in the 50's here, which is unseasonably warm. So, all the many feet of snow are melting at a rapid pace, and soon we will have the hydrostatic pressure to deal with underground. That's why the walls of the foundation had to be braced.
Saturday, I get to go way up high in the "cherry picker" to start scrubbing down the charred chimney stone. Should be a hoot, since I am afraid of heights. I designed the fireplace and chimney, picked out the stone, and I'll scrub the dang thing until it looks right again!! Grrrrr!
We submitted house plans for a quote a couple days ago. Waiting to hear back. Dh and I were looking at kitchen photos on Houzz.com last night, and I fear he and I are on very different pages there. I am the 'antique/farmhouse look" person; he is "clean and contemporary". I want the house done with part stone around the base, and the deep barn red cedar siding... not sure how he will like that. We did decide on old Chicago brick for the entry flooring, and the back entrance/laundry room. I love the look of that old brick, and want to do a veneer as a backsplash in the kitchen. Then use real milk paint on the cupboards and island.
WEll, back to writing thank-yous. Have a wonderful day everyone!
