So little time, so little sleep...

While others might have been hunting for chocolate eggs or feasting with family this weekend, Aaron and I were trying to knuckle down and get things done at the house. Dash lent a hand again, making sure to wake us up extremely early in the morning for potty breaks and we were over to the house before the sun had really risen 2 out of 3 days.

Unfortunately the process of patching drywall is a slow and imperfect process, so our high hopes for getting the kitchen/dining/hall done on Friday were foiled by some very stubborn spots. We did manage to get all but touch ups done by Sunday, but all that extra time patching drywall took away from other projects and we didn't get nearly as much done as we hoped.

But the color in the kitchen/dining/hall area did come out well, though it's a pain to photograph because it's the lightest color I've done so far, a nice calm "celery" shade:


We also cleared out the garage of demolition debri for the second time, making 4 trips to the dump (a grand total of $70 in fees this time, $50 last time) and ended up with space to actually park a vehicle in the garage for the very first time since demo started! Imagine a space you need in a garage to hold a Ford Explorer. Then fill that space to waist-high... twice. That's the amount of trash that our garage contained, the amount of busted or nasty stuff we pulled out of our modest 1200+ sq.ft. house...

In other news, the one pair of jeans I was willing to sacrifice to house reno bit the dust this week. Sadly, I didn't realize it until I stepped out of the car and felt a rather large breeze on my rear one chilly morning!

To replace them, Aaron immediately volunteered up a pair of silver and lime green warm ups that I've had since he met me and that he positively loathes. Since I needed something and refused to ruin another pair of jeans, I gave in. Please ignore the dopey look on my face... half as much sleep and twice as much work as a body can take will do that to a girl..
