July Clean up Challenge continues!!

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

OK, so we were supposed to log our hours for cleaning. in typical Artist fashion, I became consumed by this and I'm just seeing the light from the end of the tunnel! What I have done (with Clark's help of course) All the stuff that we dumped in our basement after Clark's dad Died (3 years ago) took over the basement and neither of us wanted to go downstairs and deal with it much less look at it.. SO with this challenge we finally cleared out the downstairs living room, my Studio and the bar area. Which ended up being a good thing because our basement flooded again and now we had it so you can walk thru it.

What I've done so far:
I painted the entire downstairs, Bathroom, Bar, family room, studio and hall.
we took 10 car loads to the salvation army, recycled a trunk full of old papers,
Built a super cool desk


What I still want to accomplish:
Paint the front of the house and Garage doors
Replace the wood banister outside with metal one
sand and stain inside banister to finally finish it!

Then of course there is all the rest that needs to be done
(I'm not ready to even think about the rest yet!) emoticon

    I love the desk you made. Beautiful! Is the black and white floral a fabric or paper. Where did you get it. It would be a perfect accent for my daughter's wedding. Good job - you've gotten a lot accomplished.

    WAY to go!- great looking desk- Saw your status too- Did He perhaps send a thank you for the interview and interest letter- old way snail mail- When I was looking for work that got me a second interview and job- they get busy and forget sometimes- but having to actually open a letter- the name and intervieew id refreshed in thier minds and they say dang- I forgot about that- better follow up - Of course thats an old trick you probably already thought of- just thought I would mention it-

Good luck- at leastyou got him busy at home- haha!- great job Amy!-

    I'm glad to see you got a lot out of the one challenge. I'm still working on my basement just haven't done it the last week or so. I need to get back to it, it's just hard to do by myself. Great job on getting things done!
