Warren, learning a new trade. We have completely demo'd the bathroom, as it is a disgusting mess, and we have all new stuff waiting to be delivered soon. But we have to do the ground work first, which is dirty and no fun! Well, he looks like he's enjoying it, actually.
Here I am demo'ing the really awesome paneling that was installed horizontally in the hallway, only to reveal that we have Plaster Board rather than drywall. What a joy!
The kittens are officially indoor/outdoor kittens now, and LOVING it! DJ made it up to the roof, they've both been in the crawlspace under the house and up in the attic of the Back House, and all over the yard. Mud is a new favorite toy.
I find myself just wandering around the house with a scraper and a crowbar, looking for things to demolish. We have scraped the (asbestos filled) ceilings in the Main house master bedroom and one of the 2nd bedrooms, the upper kitchen cabinets are 75% scraped and sanded down, and we've ordered the very cool Damask wallpaper that I am going to use as an i
nsert on the uppers, as they are different door styles than the lower cabinets. Rather than try and make them match, I am going to go with it and make the best of having 2 different door styles, and I think it will look very funky and cool when I am done. You know how I do my magic.

We have just recieved a set of landscaping plans from Ron, as well as some room additions/revisions, so the property is going to look very different when we get to that part!
Ron (Senor Bond) sent over his go-to guy, Manuel, who is practically family, and he set his guys to work on trench digging for our plumbing needs, and clearing out the old landscaping, which consisted of overgrown azaleas and birds of paradise. The neighbors LOVE us already, and we haven't really done much to the outside of the house yet. We've met a couple diagonally across the street from us that have filled us in on the crazies that lived here before us, and how the entire neighborhood had a party when the house sold to us. We're under a lot of scrutiny, although we've been told the bar has been set VERY low, but they're all checking out what we are doing.

I'd love to blog all day, but I've got some cabinets and paneling that need to be taught a lesson.
