February

I think about this blog way more often than I post to it. Here are some pics from February!




Here we are all sitting down for Valentine's day dinner.



YAY!! Leela was student of the month for February!


We're redoing the bathroom in the hall. The vinyl flooring was peeling up and the subfloor had water damage. After the bad experience with had with water damage in the kitchen wall we decided it was best to redo it all. So out came the toilet, the cabinet and all the ruined flooring. We decided to lay down tile which is something we've never tried before.

Tile before we finished the grout. I like this brown in the kitchen, but I've decided I don't like it in a windowless bathroom.

I LOOOOVE this green. It's called Rice Paddy, but I can only think about pistachio pudding.

Cooper loves to hang out with Daddy while he works.


We replaced the light fixture and we discovered more ways our house violates building code. That board behind the light is standing in for a fixture box because none can be installed because the sewer vent pipe is in the same location the wiring comes out of the wall. Weird.


Everything was going really well and then we punctured a pipe with a nail. Dave's dad drove up here to show us how to solder copper pipe. Awesome! See that outlet cover? In about two days I will have no idea where it is.

Putting up the bead board Wainscoting.


The wainscoting is finished! Now we'll put the toilet back in, build the cabinet (the other one was made of particle board and didn't stand up to being removed), hang up the mirror and the towel hooks. I'm thinking of using metal straps and a latches to make the stink cabinet look like a trunk.

It's almost done!!
