Day 5 was not a good day. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
First, Kyle came down with something. He does not feel well and so I talked him into resting today (it didn't take much convincing).
Secondly, Kyle's projects did not go as he hoped. His frustration level was at an all time high. I felt so bad for him and there was absolutely no way I could help. I did get a picture of the vent he installed... otherwise I tried to stay out of his way and avoided pictures and any talk of "how are things going?"
Thirdly, the one way I could help him (food) flopped. I tried pizza in a crockpot (Pinterest) and it... was... terrible!
The day was so bad that Kyle reminded me, "If I
ever get the urge to remodel again, remind me of
this day!"
Okey dokey.
On the other hand, I did get a lot accomplished in painting the trim. The only part I could not accomplish was the parts I couldn't reach (Kyle was using the ladder).

Right now our week of projects were semi successful. I'll finish the trim next week. Kyle gutted the bathroom, installed a new microwave, completed the electrical work for the vent in the bathroom and other misc. outlets, completed the necessary framing in the bathroom, dug out sticker plants and created a lovely flower garden in the front and back yards. When I list those things it doesn't sound like much, but each project was a lot of work and took a lot of time. This week flew by without being able to check "bathroom complete" off our looooooong TO DO list, which looks like this:
- Office shelves above desk
- Office trim
- Downstairs bathroom trim
- Downstairs bathroom shelves
- Install door in downstairs bathroom
- Rip out "closet" in downstairs hallway
- Lay carpet on the stairs & hall way to bathroom (basement)
- Install new ceiling fan in Living Room
- Install new ceiling fan in our bedroom
- Vent covers in our bedroom
- Upstairs Bathroom (plaster, mud, paint, new floor, install vanity, mirrors/cabinet, toilet, &etc.)
I'm going to stop there... yes, the list is longer... (sigh)...
Today Kyle is down for the count. I wish he could take another week off for a much needed VACATION vacation. We can't afford to go anywhere, but he seriously needs something, even if it's disappearing in the woods with our tent and a cooler full of beer. Pray for him that he gets better and keeps his sanity, especially when he goes back to work on Monday.
