What I've Been Doing With My Time

So here's what I've been doing with my time...

Ahh!  We're finally in the new house!  As you can see, whe need lots of work on the yard, so anyone who is getting ready thin their pernnials, please let me know.  I'd love some starts.

In April, I called in all kinds of favors and had many friends help with the project.  Throughout the months of April, May, and June, I painted walls, trim, stained doors, stair parts, and all the other things that go with the final touches of a new home.  Here are the stats:

• Approximately 35 gallons of paint, including the Burnt Almond and Planetarium Blue seen in my bedroom below.

• 37 oak doors, 14 stair treads, 7 posts and about 70 feet of hand and shoe rail using 2 gallons of Minwax "Early American Stain" and 3 gallons of oil-based Minwax Polyeurathane

So as I add a few finishing touches here or there, I'll make sure to keep you guys in the loop.  Thanks for welcoming me back to the blogosphere!
