One Room Awesome

Today was another very productive day for me.  I started out the day garage saleing with a friend of mine.  We got to a few and I got some great deals on pants for Xavier. 
When I got home I was all prepared for a day of resting, but started sanding the drywall again.  When that was done, I decided to paint the primer on the walls that I had just completed, and while working on that I decided to paint the ceiling as well.  Now everything in my hallway is WHITE!  How I hate white. 
Then I got the ceiling patched in Marshall and Ares' room, so while I had the mud out, I finished mudding the kid's bathroom.
The only project I had planned to do today was Marshall and Ares' room.  Which I did get that done as well.
Here is the AWESOMENESS we got done!!!


Marshall loves it more than Ares, but once it's done he will love it too.
Now for tomorrow:
  • Fix primer in hallway and touch up spots on bare walls (we got some on while doing awesome)
  • Cut carpet for room
  • Get all the boys moved into room so I can start on Xavier and Isaac's room

We are back!!!

Things get so crazy here during the school year that I have no time for my blog.  So now with work done for the summer and my class load reducing to one class this summer, WE ARE BACK!!!
It has been a rough year on all of us here, but we now have a bright spot, we got a new trailer in at the beginning of May.  It is not a new trailer by any means, but new to us.  It is a complete remodel project, and everyone has been involved in it.
This is what it looked like on the inside when we bought it last fall.

This is the kitchen

Hallway to Kid's rooms and their bathroom


This is what it looked like when it moved into our lot and we began work on it.












We stayed in the camper for a little over a week. Thanks to my dad and step-mom, working straight for two weekends.
And as of today this is where we are:
These are Marshall and Ares' room.  It is ready to be painted tonight.

It is a work in progress and I'm trying to get as much as I can done before the kids get out of school next week.  Wish me luck! 
I will try to update my progress each day with rooms I get to.
