Josh did a great job on the house. I am DH's helper too. We have done so many remodel projects I lost count. Our biggest one was when we decided to buy an 1885 Duplex and remodel it completely so we could rent it..... only to find out a few days after signing the papers I was pregnant with my DS4.
It took a year to finish but we got through it
That sounds like a huge project Michelle! I bet it turned out awesome though.
I am so glad no one has ever documented OUR remodel projects! I provide the designs and hubby provides the muscle. Halfway through the process...hubby decides I don't know what I am doing...so he takes off without supervision. Ending with us having to pay someone to come in and redo everything!
Which is why our deck around the pool was supposed to take only a few hours and ended up taking a few weeks. He was able to convince my son in law that I was having them do it wrong...and as they were almost finished...they both agreed my way was better and had to rip everything out and redo it... even though I had drawings done by an architect, with step by step directions!
Mr D has about three rows of hardwood flooring missing in his room. Because hubby didn't feel like finishing that day. It would have taken only about 15 to 30 minutes to finish then...but to go back now it would take an hour to move the furniture out, get all the tools ready and get to actually doing it... and that was 3 years ago!!!!
Glad your projects go a little more smoothly..

Awww... Nini... We have lots of unfinished projects around here - both of us do. LOL
hope you will be able to come this summer, so want/need to meet you!
have fun shopping with V today...hope you post photos of A, sure she will be beautiful, wish her a great night!
well maybe I will start one, after all we are meeting up with DISer's
guess the mod's could shut me down if I'm breaking any "rules"
I still plan on coming this summer. Victoria and I had lots of fun at the mall... We went to AG and got to see our favorite personal shopper, then we stopped at our 2 favorite stores... Hollister and Gilly Hicks. Then we came home. She was able to get a few good outfits - but I won't even tell you all about the stupid 30% off coupon I had, that wasn't good on anything in the store. Pfft...
MOA sounds like fun. I'm sure V will have fun picking out her b-day presents with mom. How exciting that A is having her formal tonight. My DD who is in 5th grade is already planning her hairstyle for the prom! Can't wait to see the pictures.
Lisa - I think you could get away with a PTR that is non-Disney. We won't tell anyone.
I'll be posting pictures in a minute... We had a great day yesterday.
Don't ask about my re-modeling projects I generally nag my dad until he hires someone to come in to do what I want.
Did I mention my dad is a contractor but hates doing anything with houses LOL
LOL - I think I like your dad.
OK - pictures from Allison's formal. I posted them on FB last night - and some how everything I've been posting for the last 2 or 3 weeks was set to a custom visibility - so only about 6 people got to see it. Grrr... so I changed the visibility this morning and added another picture so all my other friends could see.
Anyways... as I was saying above... I picked V up from school yesterday, we stopped for lunch at Jimmy Johns (I think the girls and I could eat there every day of the week - LOL), and then we headed to the MOA.
V really wanted to stop at AG to see who was working, and our favorite personal shopper was there - so we stayed and chatted with her for about a half hour (probably longer).
Then off to Hollister... V ended up with a few cute outfits. I had an awesome coupon for
30% off your entire purchase - but everything was excluded. It was the stupidest thing ever, I was quite irritated, especially since we waited to do this shopping trip specifically to use this coupon. Grrr...
She was able to get a sweatshirt that she's been wanting for a while (even though it was the hottest day of the year - so far - yesterday). She got 2 cute pairs of shorts - usually I don't like their shorts - they are too short, but they've come out with "midi length" which are fine. She also got a couple of tank tops. A cute flowered skirt with a coordinating Tee shirt. And the most adorable bow flip flops. So, all in all - I feel she did pretty good with her budget. We had to leave several things behind because of the coupon - maybe next time?
And then we came home... My neighbor did Allison's hair for her - it turned out adorable! I took Alli to town, she went to her bff Marah's house and we took a few pictures. I felt so bad, because Marah broke her knee cap in Gym on Monday, so she had to wear this horrible brace. Poor girl!
And then the back of Marah's dress - I just loved it, so I had to take a pic!
The girls had a wonderful night.
D~
happy you are coming no matter what!!! can't wait to meet everyone too!
