Day 10: God created the Heavens and the Earth

God made the heavens and the earth in just 6 days partly because he didn’t have a woman around to slow him down.  I was gone 3 days and you can see by the pictures all the progress T got done without me!  I am so proud of him and so lucky to have him in my life.  Our bedroom looks like it belongs in a brand new house, not a 50 something year old house.  Heck, I hope T buys me a face lift when I’m over 50 years old. 

Ok, so here’s the run down:
Saturday:
Trim guy came to hang trim.
T chiseled the stone work off the steps and front of the house.
T got a good quote from “Amigo” to paint.  Amigo first quoted $900 for the 2 bedrooms, hall, bathroom, and laundry room (which includes prep work, caulking, and painting the walls, ceiling, and trim). T told Amigo that another painter first quoted $500 for the 2 bedrooms and hall and he just couldn’t see paying $400 more for having that tiny laundry and bathroom painted.  So, Amigo counter offered with $650.  T countered that counter offer saying, “I’ll tell you what, I’ll pay you $700 but you have to start today.”  Amigo said, “Deal.” (Which must be one of his few English words, but hey “money talks”!)
T found a $700 copper farm house style sink on sale for $275 at Lowe’s!!!!!!  I love this man!!!  I really wanted that sink, but he it was always like, “Baby, why do you like the most expensive things.” In which I reply, “I can’t help it if I have expensive taste.  It’s not like I look at the price tag first.  My eye just goes to what I like.”    

Sunday:
Amigo came and painted the master bedroom from ceiling to floor.  He also started on the bathroom, hall, guest bedroom, and laundry room.  He didn’t leave until after 9:00 PM!!  I’m not sure how or who hung the new doors, but they look awesome with the curve detail at the top.  But, I have to admit that one of the best home improvements is the one I added to the front yard….. WDE!!!!
