This was the view in the back of the car five minutes before we pulled into the driveway Tuesday night. No whining for the bathroom or complaints that they didn't get dinner yet, just two calm brothers and two sleepers. Sigh!!! A relaxing end to a relaxing weekend.
We emptied the car, vacuumed it, and unpacked...and we have not stopped running since. Friend preschool at our house, Swimming lessons for Jack and Luke, and finally an almost finished bathroom. If there is one thing I've learned from our many do-it-yourself adventures, it is that everything takes three times as long to do as you might think it would. So, we have been working on finishing our bathroom for quite a while (I think we started it in June). It took almost all day to put in the faucet and put up the refinished cabinetry. And while the baseboards still need a couple of coats of paint, it is time to show off our almost finished project. Here is a before...
And after...Ta Da!!
I love it, and while those cabinets took a while to do, the finished product is worth every moment of effort that I put in. Good work Doug! Thank you for all your help!! We make a great do-it-yourself team!!
