Our 2011 Housework






























































































































The painting and application of sheet rock “mud” is finished. Yeah! The pounds of plaster that Terry applied to the walls and then sanded off caused volcano like dust covering everything.

The library/spare bedroom (which doesn’t have all my books in it yet) was the most improved. Purple and yellow/green paint was pulled off the walls, patched and painted a creamy pale yellow. I refinished the woodwork and the carpet was replaced.

Terry thinks that his study with its holes in the walls and new doors is the most improved.

The ceiling in the bathrooms had large places from the old skylights that needed plastering and painting. Since I pulled the old wallpaper off the bathrooms, they needed fixed.

Maybe the living room with the sheet rock replaced under the leaking window and its new carpet is the most improved. (We have a new window but haven’t replaced it yet.)

Since the laundry needed the appliances replaced and Terry’s research said that the front-loading washer was the most efficient, I asked for the appliances to be put on pedestals.

The kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom didn’t need anything done except for cleaning and touch up painting.

What do you think was the most improved? The yard work was another project. I have enough photos of it for another blog.
