house projects

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Andi

Last weekend we went to my brother, Adam's house to work on projects. He wanted to tear down some old paneling that was on the walls and then drywall it.

So we went shopping for the stuff we needed.

Then we did some destruction. (My favorite part!)

Then the guys put up the drywall.

While the guys were working on projects in the basement, Adam's girlfriend, Katie and I tried to tackle a thought I had for their persnickety wallpaper in the kitchen. Katie isn't opposed to painting over it, so we went to town with the sander to smooth out what she had already attempted to remove and some of the seams. This will be a little tedious, but not nearly as bad as it would be to continue trying to strip off the wallpaper.

I even learned to do some drywall taping. By the way…it sucks. Well, not the small part I did, but I can't imagine doing it for a living. Although, I would have had better tools if I were doing it for a living.

While the guys were working on some other projects, I repaired a bracelet for my friend. And played with their kitty, Emma. And Katie and I went shopping again and she bought a new fridge. Theirs is a really pretty golden color with parts being held together with duct tape. Katie is SO excited for the new one to arrive. Then I played with the kitty some more.

We wore out their dog, Kipp.

And the guys were pretty tired, too. After the shopping, destroying, building and then starting a couple other projects, we called it a day. We'll be back before too long helping with more projects I am sure!

HERE are all the pictures I took when I was over there. They have been hard at work on the yard, too, so there are some pictures of their plants. Because I love taking pictures of flowers.
