Advil

So as I mentioned yesterday, I was working on something for Jay.  I decided I wanted to work on our "curb appeal".  I had aspirations to clear out our front beds (which included trimming bushes and digging out some over grow azaleas by the roots) and have new plants planted by the time he came home today.  On Monday, Jace and I worked during Abby's nap and I continued after the kids went to bed until I was working with the front lights on.  Similarly when I have too much to drink, my body does not recover like it used to (multiple advil needed).  Tuesday I woke up hurting pretty bad.  I continued to work but not nearly as hard and on Wednesday, it rained all day.  But here is what I accomplished......

Before

After

 There is what we have being picked up tomorrow.  Don't think we are going to be the favorite house on the street.

As the house looks a little bare, these are the shutters and window boxes that still need to be hung.  Jay built these.

So to carry on the punch list from last night (Jay said this was helpful), here are a couple more things for us not to forget.

There is a vent that needs to be cut below the sink.  The ductwork is there.  Just needs to be cut and vent installed.

Jay said he thought this was assumed .  . but he says there should be additional molding in the bedroom to help match the rest of the house.

These are holes in our guest bedroom (next to the guest bath) need to be patched.  Which reminds me on the cut in the wall and molding in Abby's room.  Yes - back in the beginning this was cut during demo in the kitchen.  

I know we have more punch list things.  I figure if we track them here.  It will help us remember.  

Drywallers sanded today.  The tiler fixed the cracked piece of tile, grouted the basement bath and inserted the marble threshold for main level bath. Will show pics tomorrow.

Happy Thursday! 

Snack time.
