Looking Like a House

In addition to finishing up the chinchilla's room, Dave's been working on multiple other projects. He sanded the floor in the bathroom upstairs so he could put down hardiboard. In doing so, he created quite a mess.

He was a mess....


My house was a mess...
But that's life. He's also been working on sanding our trim. He won't let me help - says I work too much so that's why I have time to post.

We did finally get the bedrooms upstairs set up. They are finally looking like bedrooms!




The curtains are a temporary fix and hopefully all of the items in boxes will eventually find homes. I think we are just now feeling somewhat settled in.

Chinchillas

I know I said posting may be scarce, but I didn't think it would be this bad!

Work has really picked up for me. I'm working at least 65 hours a week (and that's a slow week). It's been crazy!

Dave's been working his butt off here at home without me. He's getting lots of things accomplished and I can't wait to show you all of them, but we broke our camera. We have been lost without it. I took some photos with my cell phone so I could show you Dave's most recent accomplishment. They aren't the greatest quality, but they'll do.

Our poor chinchillas have been living in one of our upstairs bedrooms since we moved in. They've not been very happy as they had the run of the basement in our apartment. We finally finished their room here and they are loving it!

We purchased a wood framed screen door on clearance last year. It was a bargain! My mom sewed a curtain for the door. The chins love looking out the door to see what's going on.

We have an egress window in their room. My mom also made curtains for it. We moved the futon into their room as well.

We have lots left to do in their room, but this is a start. I want to put little shelves on the wall so they can climb up and down. I also want to stain their floors (we covered them with cardboard for now) but this will have to wait until late summer.
