Blah Day

Well the weather has ended its strange spring-like conditions and we're back to winter. It's Saturday and I had planned to do so many things around the house, but it's too cold. What I was most excited about was finishing up the paint in the jacuzzi room, which I needed a taller ladder for. I went into town, and after getting my eyebrows mowed, went to Walmart and got a ladder and some curtains for the sliding glass door. The thing about most paints is that there's a temperature and humidity range that you need to paint them in. I'm not sure what happens if you don't, but the directions on the can state not to paint if the temperature will drop below 50 degrees within four hours of painting. My kind of paint.

The jacuzzi room is enclosed, but in no way heated or insulated, so it's probably 40 degrees in there at best. Last weekend it was about 80 in there. So scratch that idea. I suppose I could be putting together the step for the jacuzzi but I haven't had the nerve to go back to it after it got the best of me a few weeks ago.

I also decided that I would feel more at home if I got some pictures put up on my walls, since they're completely bare. I got as far as looking at them.

I tried buying blinds for the jacuzzi room online but didn't see anything I liked in all the discount places. Money will be a little tight for awhile so that may have to wait. I did get my furniture delivered, so I'm very excited about that. So here's some pics around the house of furniture and other rooms you couldn't see very well without the furniture in them (like the guest bedroom).

So here's a head-on view of the guest bedroom. Those of you who come visit me will be staying in here unless there's a mob of people, and in that case you'll have to place bids and put down a deposit. It's really hard to get the feel of this room by looking at the picture. It's small enough that you can't get a good picture of it in one shot, and it's beyond my technical expertise to put them all together for a panorama. Sorry.


Oh, and here's a pic of my backyard since I hadn't posted one before. It's between storms, so it isn't the best shot but you get the gist. It's a good size. This is in the way back of it, looking back at my house. I previously took a pic from the other direction but the fence and sheds make the place look atrocious, so you don't get to see those.


Here's my dining room, complete with dining table and buffet table (my favorite piece). Still a little bland, but my whole house is in the works right now so it'll eventually be bright and colorful.


This is my room as you walk into it from the back family room. That's my new bed. Overstock.com, $180. Still needs a bed skirt, apparently I got rid of mine after having a platform bed too long.


As you turn the corner of my bedroom, here's my new dresser and that's the door that leads to my bathroom.
