This is the first round with the sander to refinish the floors. I'm so excited with how they turned out. We picked out a great dark red mahogany color. Can't wait to see the end product. Can't wait to show it'
Tomato bought a house. The house needs some love. Follow the journey of the new plant.

The crazy weeds!
The parking pad out in the back of the house had become overgrown. Here is the first weeding job at the new place. Many more yet to come I'm sure. But I sprayed everything with a homemade natural weedkiller so hopefully it doesn't come back.

I'm still away....
I'm still away, and the boyfriend is still slaving away in the kitchen. Look at the progress. I'm amazed. I do not think I will have a kitchen when I get back. That's okay though, I've come to terms with it. Can't wait to see more.

More to uncover
These great tiles are in my bathroom. That's under two sheets of linoleum one sheet of plywood and a shit ton of glue. Tearing this up is going to be hard and we're not going to be able to save the tiles. I want to save as many as we can for a project, but I can't say for sure what will happen.
Why do people do this? Someone called my house a retro onion because we keep peeling layers off and finding better things. Its true. What's next?

while I'm away. ...
The boyfriend is un updating the kitchen. Yes there's hardwood floor under there. That's tile, cement sheet, linoleum and then wood. I can't believe how Much he has done already. Incredible! I'm a very lucky girl.

The shower arch
Well someone decided to cover up the awesome arch above the shower. Who does that? I could tell it was there because of the tape and drywall showing an arched crack. Well looky looky...
Phase one
Ripping out all the carpet. Who puts carpet down on nice hard wood floors? Now to spend hours pulling staples our of the floor. Dicks.
