show me paint the fence...

...show me paint the walls. walls have been painted some shade of tan. i think the painter is lazy, he didn't bother to go around electrical chords, just painted right over them. i guess he thought it was important that they match.

Dong, Where Is My Automobile...

... AUTOMOBILE??? (another fun movie quote for you all to guess).

cool garage door huh? it has a keypad like an atm so you can open the door via secret code. if you recognize the next quote regarding secret codes, your heart is true and you may enter.

"well, we can throw out birthdays immediately, that's too obvious. and no numbers for you. you're a word man, let's go deeper. what kind of man are you? well, you're weak, spineless, a man of temptations. but what tempts you? you're a portly fellow. a bit long in the waistband. so what's your pleasure? is it the salty snacks you crave? no no no no.... yours is a sweet tooth. oh you may stray, but you'll always return to your dark master... the cocoa bean! and only the purest syrup nectar can satisfy you. if you could you'd guzzle it by the gallon... ovaltine? hershey's? nestle's quick?

walls have been plastered, not really that exciting.

walls

"who are you?  why am i against this WALL?  why won't my arms move?  where's buttercup?"  (name the movie this quote is from...)

the drywall is up...rooms are divided.  this picture shows part of the living room.  the little curved archway goes to a hall, off of which there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

this is part of the kitchen.  you can also see the half wall which encloses the stairs down to the basement.  the first doorway leads to the master bedroom(as they say on mtv cribs, "where the magic happens.")  just down the hall is the laundry closet and entry to the garage.

free shards of drywall in the garage!  come and get em!  ;)

* disclaimer - all of the pictures on this site were taken with the cameras on our phones, which is why the quality isn't always the best

the house is framed? what?

we couldn't believe it...the framing is already well under way!  we're really getting excited.  it actually looks like a house.  we spent quite a while walking around all the rooms.  i want it done now.

the smell of construction sites always make me think back to when i was younger and my uncle built homes.  my brother, sister, cousins and i would play in the big dirt piles.

June 1993...

bar? home theater? oh the possibilities

...and we have a basement.
