more work!

Here's a before and after shot of some landscaping meghan did in the back. Also ryan stopped wearing anything protective while chainsawing and now uses the chainsaw to cut grass and make dumb faces. Meghan polished up the living room with the ol brooklyn vacuum. Ryan finally took down those stupid wooden light fixtures!

So I think we are moving in this week, once the mattress man shows up with our new mattress. This means we will have a real guest bed on the other side of the house, where no photos have dared venture yet. Coming next time, real photos from the street!

yardin, floorin, beddin

This weekend and week have been real busy. We finally finished painting the living room and started in on the floor. Ry bashed away on it and mega slept in the new bed frame on it. We got a carpet man to do the carpet and tile repair too! See next post for a couple nearly-finished shots. We even moved in a couple chairs to sit on.

Happy Anniversary...

to us! Whooop whoop, 4 years! We spent the evening painting the living/dining room and re-surfacing the ceiling. Romance at it's finest. Oh, and someone totally tagged our living room wall. Turns out the neighborhood is a little sketchy. Maybe we should've kept that alarm system.
Tomorrow we're off to South Beach for some non-home-improvement fun. Going to hang out with our friends Jill and Jason from NYC. YAY!!

Weekend Warriors

So tired...hard to type. We had quite a home improvement weekend. Ryan (Manuel Labor) and Paint Pa McGuire tore down a wall/closet in the living room while Paint Ma McGuire and I painted the master bedroom and the kitchen. Ryan also attacked some foliage with his new chainsaw and put new fixtures on the kitchen sink. Things are really starting to look good round that place.
In between all that we headed up to our friend Josh's birthday festivities and had a great time. Now it's looking like some football induced napping is in store.

Snoooooozzzzzzzze...

Wallpaper and Security System

Wallpaper sucks!! It took just about 2 hours for one small wall. Boooo!! We're taking down the wallpaper in the kitchen, going to paint it some nice color. Then on to the guest bath which is completely wallpapered...even the light switches.

Ryan worked on removing our hideous alarm system. I mean, really it all comes down to safety vs style? The choice was easy.

Here are a few more pics of us with our celebrity tans. We're working on getting that happy homeowners photo for you, Seth. Be patient.

Hey hey hey!!!

Decided to start this old thing back up, mostly so we can chronicle our progress on our new house! Whooo hoo! NEW HOUSE! In case you haven't heard, we became homeowners on Friday and are now official, bona fide Florida residents.

We had a fun weekend with our friends from Cape Can. Lots of surfing and partying, some household chores (installed new handles on kitchen cabinets) and a Sunday of yard work. Ryan got serious with a GAS hedge trimmer!

Here's some pictures for looking at.
