Guess what happened this weekend? You'll never guess! At least 3 of the 5 things were completed! Woo Hoo! And by 3 i mean 2 items and 2 "1/2" items so that totals three in my mind.
So lets get straight to it, shall we? It's a good thing i put the caveat about the doors (hoping at least 3 would be completed) because that is EXACTLY what happened. Lets just say the 1st of the 3 was SUPER hard - then the next one went ok, then they pooped out. Then after sleeping on it we found out we didn't leave enought gap (?!?) under the doors for air circulation? Me ... well i'll be honest, i wanted as little gap as possible for "aesthetics". C'mon i am a woman! And if we are "truth tellin" here ...lets just say to drown out the sometimes loud whining or screaming children that feel their timeout is unfair. Just being real people.
Well i guess if the gap isn't big enough air cant circulate and pump out and be returned. (the return is in the hallway so if you sleep with the bedroom door closed it works like a vacuum and doesn't pump any heat to that room)
Thankfully that was the guest room. Ouch! Did i say that outloud? Needless to say Grandpa froze his patootie off. Since it is already hung and all trim put in place our only options to fix it were
a.) cut a hole above the door to vent/let air circulate
b.) take off solid wood door and plane/cut some off bottom -or-
c.) make a return someplace else
I opted for C. There is no way in heck i am gonna cut a rectangular hole above my doors and beautiful custom trim to thus draw the eye to this ugly "vent". Also not so much liking the idea of letting amateurs saw on very expensive doors. We then got creative and with some brainstorming decided we could cut a vent thrhough the closet area to the other closet. Liking that. So that's the plan.
Hard to get photos when all the doors/rooms are in a hallway - but basically 3 doors were completed - the guest bedroom, Bubba's Bedroom, and Sis' bedroom.
So i don't get the photographer of the year award - otherwise i wouldn't have a shot of a closet with no door also! And if you like the 1st picture that is the guest bedroom. Perfect if you like to sleep like a penguin. The nice warm color is to invite you in, then apparently now to remind you that you are visiting the Frozen Valley!
We also got the PLAYSET completed (which deserves it own post and comes complete with photos of happy, smiling children!) and 1/2 of the unwanted boxes in the living room unpacked! And about 6 loads of the laundry that has no place to go once it is done. (rugs, sheets, shower curtains, xtra car seat covers....) Oh how i wish my basement was done.
P.S. It is NOT done. Sheetrock is not finished, nor will it be finished Monday. Shocking, i know. But we ARE having a birthday party on Saturday so he better get busy!
