You squeeze them for stress relief...and then try to save the juice, in order to make spiked lemonade to put in your coffee mug at work (no one will notice). Well, not exactly, but you get the gist. This remodeling thing can really take it's toll...I'm about ready to become a renter again.

So this week we made some great discoveries that I thought I'd share with you in my "remodeling is the pits" segment...


That good idea we had to keep the ugly brown carpet in, to protect the hardwood from our painting...turns out the previous owners didn't care as much as we did!


This is our most recent form of communication...we graffiti our own walls :) Well, not exactly...just the fireplace, which turns out is all brick in case you wondered...thanks hun!


And then cause I've lost the will to care, I almost walked out of the house like this...But, I still think I could have worked it!
