We got the keys!!! We've already thrown up some paint samples and decided on the "main house" colors, we have samples of tile and carpet, and we have two contractors coming tomorrow to give us quotes!! Damn! You don't waste any time! I can't wait to see the progress. Take lots of before pictures.

Just catching up from a busy day. csho no to wallpaper. The bathrooms in our house have it and I hate it. I have some leftovers that the previous owner left, of wallpaper that looks like bamboo...its...lovely, I'd be more than happy to send to you! Came home from work,H left to go play softball, cooked the kid dinner then mowed the yard. Cooled off and took the trash out after I put e to bed and am now enjoying a beer. Or 3.

Way to take the bull by the horns. Help me with choosing my paint colors now! These are the two colors we've chosen so far. The lighter for all the main walls and the darker grey for accent walls. And here are some Of our flooring choices. I'm leaning to the one on the far right.

I just spent from about 6:30 to 9:30 staining my front porch. It's darker than I was expecting, hopefully it dries a bit lighter. I will find out in the morning. Helpful tips ( csho) Wear pants/long sleeves/gloves/closed shoes...otherwise I found out that vegetable oil takes oil based stain off your skin. Get a foam pad thingy from the hardware store. So flipping easy! That and a brush should be all you need for tools. Do the spindles first and work your way top to bottom. I will share a pic in the morning after it's all dry.

Anyone know of any dairy free protein shakes that taste good? Maybe cagoldi? I really like Sun Warrior Classic Plus Chocolate the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's the foam pad thingy for? Applying the stain to large areas. I attached mine to an extension pole and the flat part of the porch was done in no time. I also discovered it applied the stain to our spindles easy as cake. This is the one I got m.lowes.com/pd/Mr-LongArm-Woodmates-Exterior-Stain-Pad/50338176
