This tree is coming up voluntary and I am not sure if I am going to keep it but just for now I am. So we (me and my friend Corlene) gave it a much need trim "high and tight".

This tree was going to be saved but then we got carried away and took it out anyway. OOPS! But not really because I didn't know how to transplant a tree.
This is a Yucca. It likes to poke you. I don't know why it looks like it is dying but it's still in there. Looking all funny.
Side view of the bed. After all the hard work was done. Check the following pics.
This tree was also growing where it shouldn't have been so armed with a shovel and long handled knippers we hacked away at it until it was out. We needed a video of the project we surely would have won something with the way we take out trees.
This is a smaller tree that came out first and was rather easy. We thought we were big stuff when we got this little one out.
Ahhh! the clean up part. Watch out! That is a garden rake, not a yard rake. It digs in the ground real good and almost pulls you to the ground when it gets stuck.

Stuff In, Stuff Out, Tile, Shower, First Meal, Flowers

Here is a lot of new things and some firsts. Here are the newly painted closet doors.

New Front door.

Toilet out side for bathroom repair. So far, still out there.

My stuff is finally in the house.

Bead board in the little bathroom.

NEW KITCHEN TILE!!!!!

NOW WITH GROUT!!!

LITTLE BATHROOM TILE! So Do you like it?

I hooked up my TV and turned it on and what do you know but the President was on. Not impressed. But still cool to have my own TV to watch.

Then I replaced the shower head with the one below.

But when I went to turn it on the shower control came off in my hand. Water came spewing out of the hole where the knob used to be. Talk about surprising water was going everywhere.

As you can see it is fixed now but I really need new handles.

Now on to the first home cooked meal. I made microwaveable mac - n - cheese. What an accomplishment especially with no refrigerator or stove.

Here it is. Then I had to wash it in the bathroom sink.

Ok here is the furniture in the red room wall. I don't know yet if this is how I want it to stay but at least the bed is put together.

This is the first rose in my rose bush in the front yard.

Hopefully, the countertops will be here soon. I have already ordered the appliances. They will be installed after the countertops.

Storage & Attic Stuff

Ok, don't be alarmed. Yes, it is me posting again and in just a couple of days. Enjoy!

Here is some amusing stuff I have found in the attic.

You always need rules but I am not sure if this is the right kind of rule.How exactly do you read the devil's eye? I am not sure, but I pretty sure don't want to try.

Doors and Window Blinds

Okay, sorry it has been forever. A lot has happened and that is a good thing. Here are some pictures of me installing some hanging blinds to cover the sliding glass door to the back yard. Also, some of David and my dad hanging interior doors.

Say Cheese!
Back off people, power tools. I did a great job.
See.
Bathrooms should have doors. Don't you think?
Yes, I'm in the box. I don't know why I guess this house has an insanity factor.
This is how my mother works, she comes over to help me, but she is cold so she sits all wrapped up in a blanket. What great help.

I haven't slept there much yet because my bed is still not put together. We were still working on the bead board on the 1/2 bath and needed the space in my room. Also, there are no appliances yet. 

The kitchen tile should be in soon. I had thought that it would be this week, but alas, it's Friday and no word on that. The countertop has been measured and ordered. But will take another 3-4 weeks until it is installed.

More coming later.
