Nothing changes if nothing changes....ugh

I decided to have some artistic (if thats what you wanna call it) Fun yesterday last nite (all This is the process of plaster ,my friend Lisa taught me.  The camera I have is not good. need a new one., anyway, no more pink walls, and I am still not finished with the windows, but I've got a start.....whatcha think? much prettier in person...I thought my bed turned out well was a turqoisy black..ugh..

Had a wonderful lunch with some awsome women, came home and realized I have been blessed with dogwoods, wisteria and all across the back yard will be blooming azaleas in a day or two...I havent had to do a thing in the yard....thank you God... its hard to see the wisteria couldnt get it all in one shot, tried..now back inside to that bedroom   I will post pics later of it finished..yellow...love it..

a little piece of my heaven, gotta paint those shutters, ugh. oops, just realized I have not scraped windows, ugh..

Getting ready to paint the pink room, deceided to paint the bed I have been wanting to paint for a long time...we'll see.

 Window treatment malfunction....

 gotta wash this and see what color it really is

 painted bath, but not done yet, had to take the handicap "stuff" off

 we found stoneware and "big" pickle jar, but no glass lid..

Kitchen is finally painted, working on antiquing cabinets.

alrighty, after a cortisone shot in the wrist, I think I will be able to get back to work on the house....got some updated pics to share..

OK enough for now, my "resting" is over....if I can get my fingers working I need to get busy.....ta ta...

Just some of the "goodies" we have found so far.......

Love my vintage stove, except, see my waisted cabinet and 1 of 2 drawers...because of washer/dryer in kitchen...this stove works great..all the little storage drawers....I was really suprised it is electric.buttons on top...

This is Michael (a GOD send), he is my "other" husband...dont be ugly, you know what I mean. I pulled the old frig away from the wall, it was not working, to paint behind it, about 11:30pm, unknown to me the ancient icemaker was hooked up.....water started showering across the kitchen, I sat down on the floor behind the frig...pinched off the pipe, looked around and went, oh shit, now what do I do.....no phone in reach....saw a 5 gallon paint bucket, ran for it, sat it on the pipe. called, you guessed it....MICHAEL to the rescue......he came and went under the kitchen sink and turned it off and just looked at me and said, who hooks up a icemaker to the kitchen sink???...OMG.....it is real funny now, but if it hadnt been for him, I would of been holding a pinched off pipe til the next morning......seriously...WE LOVE MICHAEL.....I can even tolerate his heavy metal music, well, sometimes...

This is where the washer/dryer is supposed to go...before plumbers arrived...oh, we will be moving them out of the kitchen at a later date, right now they are just fine where they are.....at least I dont let laundry pile up in the kitchen..ha

 

Rick on his 3 days home, we moved, and I had him pulling shoe mold...I know he cannot wait to get back home.....ha....

This is at the beginning, notice the blue tape, I cannot Wait to paint, the lovely yellow, orange, green wallpaper on far wall..

As usual, I just wrote a whole paragraph and it disapeared???  Nothing unusual around here, lately.

Ok, back on line, whoo hoo, except nothing is getting done...rainy day, lazy and my hands hurt....no wonder...

It is now quiet around here, no more plumbers butts, sorry Alton, you are awesome..the 6 guys, 5 trucks in the yard, HVAC, 1guy working, 5 talking about it, or asking me what am I going to do with the "Stuff" under the house...I am like, well, sorry, but it is mine.....my goodies....I feel like I am in American Pickers..I have had fun finding stuff .  Junk to some folks, but gold to me...I will post pics..later.

Now, heres some info, some folk already know, not me !!  If you dont know what kind of paint was used in a house, always, always, use the Kilz oil based.  I have learned after  2-3 coats of reg kilz, paint, peeling, uh, OIL BASED KILZ.

I did learn a new trick, buy WD 40 by the case....the gentleman at Home Depot, where I now live my life, and getting to know the workers on a first name basis. Which I drop $$ everytime I go....WD40 would of taken the "blackstuff" off of my floors much easier than what I did...scrubbbbbb,WD is petroleum based..and takes   s..t off (sorry mama), anything....good to know if i every wanna scrape a floor again...NOT>.....yeah, I was told this after the fact.










 

Ok, its been quite the week, new HVAC system, new plumbing, still some "tweeking" to do with the plumbing, the house is a shamble....ugh, painted kitchen, paint wont stick, duh, latex over oil doesnt work, I guess I was too tired and didnt even think about it., was just trying to cover up nastiness....ha, also it was about 3 am when I was doing this.....no wonder.  Anyway, I do not have internet service at the house, cant understand why a small town like Monroe, takes over a week to get a appointment for internet, cable, phone.....oh well, makes me get "stuff" done.....Wilson and Jacz (4 legged babies) or 3 and 4 legged, are still looking at me with that "when are we going home look".....I will post again when I can.....and send pics.
