Early!

For once a contractor was early.... Yes, I know.... E-A-R-L-Y!!!!

1.5 hours early!

With no phone call.....

Which meant the girls and I were still asleep.... In PJ's..... Nothing brushed....

*L*

So I rush around this morning pulling clothes off my floor (how long has that shirt been in that spot??? Humm.... *L*) and run the the door....

After yelling to the contractor he happily came in (with my apologies for the state of our house -we're moving things from downstairs to up to finish the basement thing- and the state of myself....)...

Less then 30 min's later the drawer face on Emma's side of the bathroom was replaced with another and everyone was happy.

What made me giggle? Emma had to approve it before he left!

STAIRS here, stairs there.... Stairs everywhere!!!

Yes, it's true!

We have stairs!!!

And railings!

And nicely placed hand prints in our cement!! Geee!!

As you can imagine I was thrilled when the guys from Brookhaven showed up to put our stairs on!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Now all we need is landscaping and the final coat of paint on our doors!

SOOOOOOO close!!!!

(Yes, I just blogged about not having stairs this morning! *L* Check it our if you haven't... Stairs...??!!)

Stairs....??!!

We Have Stairs!!!!!!

Sort of.

Wasn't it nice of whoever delivered them to just drop them onto the city sidewalk? It really does look like they just backed the truck up and dropped them onto the ground... How sweet of them!

And, of course, they did this Friday when we weren't home all day... So we didn't get to call our builder and get them to drive the 2 hours to put them on for us.

Ugh.

Oh! As well... Our builder asked us if we could call them when the stairs arrived since on Thursday they had no idea where they were.... They were to arrive Wednesday.

*LOL*

Maybe I'll be lucky enough to have them attached to my house sometime this week.... Maybe....

Towel Rack....

Last night Emma was drying her hands in our main bath... I guess she gave a little tug on the towel and, from where I was, things came down!

I honestly thought she had fallen in the bathroom somehow... This is what I found instead....



So we've had issues with this towel rack since we moved in.... It wasn't tight to the wall and this is what happened, exactly what I thought would happen....

From what I gathered while Tyler looked at it, whoever put it up didn't hit a stud. In fact there's the pencil 'x' mark of where it was supposed to go in and then two attempts (holes) on either side of it! Imagine!

Grrr....

So a warning to you all who are building a house, check your towel racks before they attack your children!!!

*LOL*

Took a Quiz.... Part 2

What Color Style Are You?

Quiz Results:

Energy & Optimism is your color style
Looking outside the box is second nature to you and the colours in your home reflect your adventurous and positive attitude. With your fearless approach to decorating, you are drawn to a palette of bold, fresh hues and are likely to try out new ones at the drop of a hat. Inspired by art and fashion, you choose colors that spur your creativity and provide a daring backdrop for all your contemporary furnishings and unique and fabulous finds.

Huh. Now if only I could USE my strength in this area without backing down of fear first!

My goal for the new year (oh yes, I'm making one!): To follow m design heart as long as it won't kill Tyler while accomplishing it! *L*

The man by my window...

So...

I could hear a ladder being placed against a house...somewhere... Construction noises don't really make me jittery... Much better than bus noises!

Anyways I was taking a mini-break from parenthood to watch some Crossing Jordan and decided I wanted some milk, as I went downstairs I saw the ladder... Propped against our neighbors house (the one attached to us)... We're getting those fake shutters on the sides of our windows upstairs...

I HATE those!

*L*

BUT I am glad that I saw him next door before laying in bed, looking over and seeing a man in front of my bedroom window (on the second level!)...

Just had to share this amusing story with everyone! *L*
