staying busy...

 

 

 

 Later...

kitchen garden...

 

this is our 4th year to plant the "Kitchen Garden"

 but first I will have to weed...

 

lots and lots of weeding

 and then some more weeding...

 

 it took me two days...

 plants on sale at Home Depot,  half price...awesome

cleaned out the patio pots...

 to make room for two rose bushes...

which are blooming...

 

 beds cleaned out...

 tomatoes

squash, zucchini,  egg plant

 okra

peaches

I have it!

I have been thinking about this ever since Emily was born...
I wanted a name for our house for when the girls come stay with us...
So as of today we will become...

"Camp Snugalmie"

Welcome...

I'll need to make t-shirts...  :-)

Abra Kadabra...

from...

bucket heads

to...

Princesses...

here we go again...

Kenneth let me get two more lemon and lime trees...

this time they already have fruit on them. 

After 5 years I never got anything from my others.

Lesson learned...never order fruit trees off line.

and my "choclate mint has survived...

drawers lined...check

 we used peel-n-stick tile to line the drawers and

 the shelves... my thinking is this will help in making them easier to keep clean.

this is for all my stone ware, it has its own cupboard...

how cool is that. 

 Ignore the holes in the back wall, this is where the old electric oven was located

 and they are where the electrical wiring run.

we interrupt this kitchen remodel...

to update and repair the utility room...

Kenneth had to move the 220 electrical plug up

 to make room for the dryer stand he built for me. 

 Hopefully this will allow me to be able to reach clear to the back of the tub

  without assistance.

I also have an idea to cover the electrical box, maybe a pretty picture.

 He also removed all the old copper water lines and replaced the rotted paneling.

See the cover that goes around the drip pan, he found it down inside the wall...

 first coat of the butter yellow paint applied...

it's from Home Depot, Behr "Banana Split"

Uh oh.... that doesn't look good... that will get replaced.

Maybe that's why the rechargeable drill never recharged?

NOTE:  we had to reschedule the delivery of the new washer/dryer

until this Saturday, March 31.  I'm so excited...

Kenneth comment "It's really yellow", I like it...
(this is two coats...thinking it might need a little more)
also the metal surround will need to be fastened onto the wall.

really!!!

 while I'm repainting the utility room and waiting for the new washer/dryer to be delivered, of course there is still some clothes that need to be washed.  So I thought, OK... wash them out in the bathtub.  Do you have any idea how heavy wet clothes are?  I have an all new respect for the washing machine.  Anyway... so i get the clothes in the tub (Kenneth's work clothes) and I'm thinking once there washed/rinsed I'll just get them out on the clothes line and then you hear...

the neighbors gardener next door mowing her lawn.  He blows dust everywhere.  I don't know how many times I've had to run out to get the clothes down before he covers my newly washed laundry with a cloud of dust.  I'm just glad I didn't have them hung out yet.  But, this also goes to show you what a mild winter we had here.  Kenneth has already had to mow our yard twice this month.

NOTE: I would just like to give a shout out to the inventor of the wringer/washer...
No wonder the ladies of old never needed a fitness center. What a work out! 

P.S.   did you see that fence rail... OMG  yet another project that needs doing. 

our remodel kitchen...

 we separated the chine cabinet to use as our kitchen during the remodel...

 the top holds dry goods...

and doing dishes in the bathroom sink.

it's here...

 it arrived wrapped in its own "little black bag"...

the new kitchen faucet, it's sooo pretty...

It's going to look so nice on the Ikea farmhouse sink.
