Saturday Project #5

Welcome to Saturday Project #5. I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our Saturday Project Team:


Jon!!!






Jon's new schedule allows him weekends off, which means we now have twice the manpower to get projects done around the house. Today was very productive for us. We did lots of cleaning this morning including shampooing the carpets in the living room. We really do our living in that room, and the carpet proves it. Unfortunately Wylee has also begun taking his jealousy out on the carpet, which does not make us very happy. We are saving our pennies and waiting patiently for the day where we can get wood floors installed in part of the house. But until then, the carpet shampooer is my friend.

We then tried to make a dent in the cabinet staining process. The upper cabinets are done on one side, so we're working our way through the lower ones. I was on drawer duty and Jon did the actual cabinets. It went well but we were only able to get one coat on today. (The USC game and a very fussy teething Harper did a good job of pulling us away!) Hopefully one or 2 more coats tomorrow and we might be done!!!

I'll be posting a before and after soon.
Jon also got ours and the neighbor's lawn mowed, so I'm gonna call that a very productive day!
