i don’t want you to think i was lying…

I said days ago that I’d share a before and after photo of upstairs bathroom #2. I’m still waiting on Perry to put the door knob on the closet but want to make it known that I did my part!!

For the record: If you use command strips, you must pull the strip down to release. Simply pulling them off takes the top layer of drywall with the hanger and that’s much harder to fix than a nail hole. (Thanks, sellers. 😉 )

The paint color wasn’t awful before, but the blue chosen by the sellers clashed with the bedroom color… and since it’s an en suite, I didn’t care for it. It’s now ready for Mr. Contractor to trim the doors and the part of the baseboard that was never finished.

I’d rather be outside in the sun.

I worked outside a bit yesterday, finally brave enough to get behind a weedeater again. I even planted a couple azalea bushes! Those Pesky neighbors were here for dinner last night and we sat outside enjoying the last evening of warm weather before temps plummet and it rains for a few days.

You might notice that Mom is wearing a sweatshirt. She still complained of being chilly since it was only 75 degrees (yup… ONLY 75) early evening. 🙄

At least we all thought he did pretty good…
