Bathroom Faucet found


The other day we found the perfect bathroom faucet. Because the sink we have is an 8" faucet base, the faucets were over $100. So we came across this one well under that price and it will go with the cottage look we are doing. At least that is the hope. As the bathroom progresses we will find out.

Here is our Bedroom or is it our Living room?


While the bathroom and bedroom is being built we have been using the living room as our bedroom. It is a little strange to sit with friends in our living room, but so far no one has complained to much. My wife is such an awesome cook that when people come over they couldn't complain anyways because they have full mouths, enjoying her wonderful food.

To help pay for the remodel.....


I have found these ducks that work for bread crust. They are helping us pay for the work on the house. Here they are in action. Shhhhh, don't tell nobody!

Bathroom colors




Today we found the flooring, tile and paint color for the bathroom. It is a bummer that I cannot get the color right in the photograph but it is white, sorta light green and brown. Also this past weekend my bride was huggin Boo Boo so I just had to share this photograph.






In the last few days the bathroom has grown. First the plumbing, electrical, drywall and the door was put in. On the door you can see the old bedroom door that use to be there. It will be a nice improvement. This is a door that came out of Barry and Renee's old farm house. It matches the style of the house perfectly. If it was 100 years ago can you imagine someone taking a door in a Wisconsin Farm house and trucking it down to Missouri? Wild times we live in. Anyway's I can't believe how fast the bathroom is being put together. Boo Boo was barking at me last night as I hung the door. If it wasn't for him barking I would have totally messed up the install. He is my supervisor. I don't know how he knows construction. I think there is an angel that squeezes him and makes him bark as I am about to mess something up. I know there are messenger and warrior angels but construction angels?

Christmas Tree in MIssouri




Merry Christmas everyone. We were given a tree last Fall to put out on the front porch. We brought it in to use as our Christmas tree and now it is flowering.:)
Also the past couple of days the bathroom has been started. I just finished appling the glue to the drain waste system (so I am high than a kite from the fumes) I hope to have the project done on New Years. I don't know if I can build a bathroom that quick but we will find out. The blue wall behind the studs will be torn out and become part of the bedroom. It could be a second bedorrm for really tall skinny people. lol
