When it rains... it really frickin pours right...

Laugh or cry right? We are laughing, and taking this opportunity to do some long overdue home improvements.

So you know how I was SO excited to paint my room? Jason went to remove baseboards and his crowbar went through a soft wall. Namely the wall behind the shower... ugh... so we stopped all progress and waited for reinforcements. In the meantime, we moved our bed to the front room, and whilst sitting in there, noticed a signifigant discolored area of ceiling.. oh yeah, then it rains.. and then the ceiling drips... ugh

So now we are looking at some roof patching... possibly replacing...

Reinforcements came today by way of Claudio, who tore apart the walls and said it looked like our shower had a slow leak... and it would probably only cost us around $200 in materials to completely gut our room and insulate, then replace the walls and ceiling for a brand new room! If it will only cost us about that per room, then we are going to do it. The kid's rooms SORELY need new ceilings and insulated walls.... and it would TOTALLY save us on the heating/air bills during those months.

So here is how it breaks down... when you HAVE the money to do projects, you put it off.... when you DON'T have the money, you CAN'T put it off.. so whatcha gonna do? WORK IT.

I am surprisingly calm... hey, there is something to be said for watching all of those home improvement/flip this house shows... now it is our turn to put our backs into it! LOL

See ya.. off to demo!

Easter!!

Hope ya had a fantabulous day! Mine was great until I got into a fight with my Grandpa. Whatever. He made a rude comment to my cousin's girlfriend and I called him out on it. Chastized him like a child he said. Welp, don't make rude comments about a young girl's weight around me and think you will get away with it. PERIOD.

Other than that, our day was nice! We colored eggs in the morning, went to Aunt Nancy's and had early dinner... deviled eggs... chips and salsa... good company... lol

Have a great week!!
