Kitchen Drywall

Several weeks ago Dad and my brothers came over for a drywall party. We made huge progress in the kitchen. I'll show you more pictures soon. I think we are almost ready to hang cupboards this week.

New drywall!!!!!

Just one

While Josh was tearing out the old cupboards, I requested that he save one.
It is a huge wooden pantry cupboard. It has shelves just the right size for canned goods.

So he gently pulled it off the wall, re-built it a little, and then I painted it. I hope to put it into
use in a back room, and put something more attractive in my kitchen.

Kitchen Cupboards

Just a couple days after we signed on our house, I found this set of cupboards at the Hatitat re-store. They have oak fronts and there are plenty for my kitchen. 

Thanks Lord for a huge blessing.

The new drywall started going up in my kitchen on Saturday!!!!!!

Changes

Elisa and Amy spent a lot of time cleaning and priming the living room walls. The difference is fabulous!

How many?

How many guys does it take to change a furnace filter?

Treasure

Josh was excited to find boxes of treasures in our attic.

Here is a set of Bavarian China that was still wrapped up in the boxes. 

Energy

I received my first piece of mail in the mailbox at our new house. It was a gas and electric bill from Consumers Energy. Later on in the week, I went to Home Depot and purchased rolled insulation, styrofoam and plastic wrap for the windows. 

Amy came and taught me how to put up what she calls "Poor man's storm windows."
