The Cabinets and Counter are Here

Got the cabinets delivered and I just had to unbox one and take a peek.... And now Gus Gus is trapped in the cabinet. I shouldn't be surprised, it's just another box in his mind I suppose! - Lisa

Our counters are beautiful... Can't wait to see it all come together.... 10 years in the making! - Lisa

The Ceiling Collapsed!

So this happened today. No one was hurt. But with proof the 126 year old plaster is critically weak, I have to dip into my contingency funds to have the first floor ceilings redone.

An Update on the Remodel

We have reoccupied the house. After five days at Job Prior, sleeping on a less than ideal mattress, my hip is a mess. So is my house, with plaster dust everywhere. But the demo is done - save for the kitchen, which is down the road a month or so.

We gave away our gas stove today. No point in keeping it,  as we're replacing it in a few weeks and the wall where it goes is gone lol

Day 2

The current state of our home. We are two days into a full gut and remodel of the first floor. At the moment, Team Slap is scattered around town, with Lisa and me (yes, I believe that to be grammatically correct in this context) at Job Prior.

Fish Tank - Free!

We're getting rid of a 40 gallon fish tank, pumps, gravel, plants, everything included.... Including 12+ fish.... If you know anyone interested let me know. Free to a good home. I love these fish.... But they won't handle the remodel well, so they need to be rehomed. Hope to find a happy home for them! - Lisa

 

A Small Bathroom Remodel

 10 o'clock at night and we've decided to begin our (minor) bathroom remodel. I've disconnected the pipes and removed the old sink, and Lisa just undid the antique medicine cabinet. Stamped on the back of the mirror and hidden for decades: "[illegible] Glass Co., November 18, 1938, Cincinnati Ohio."
