My neighbors have to be the slowest at renovating their home

by

Our next door neighbors are remodeling their home. The only problem is that they’re doing the work themselves and they only come by once a week or even only once every two weeks to work on the house. At this rate their house will be done in about two years!

Surprisingly at least one of the neighbors was next door working on the house all day today, from early morning until about 9 pm in the evening. They hadn’t come by since last week and they rarely come by during the week – especially not during the day during the week so it was surprising to hear them working on the house today.

It was so cold today too. Whatever they’re doing inside the house must be toxic because they keep opening the windows – all of them! With it being so cold and the windows being open I can only imagine how big their gas bill is going to be!

They must be redoing the bathroom. I was talking to them about their plans and they told me about how they’re going to put in a really nice shower and new cabinets and maybe even a Robern Medicine cabinet. It sounds like it will be nice when it’s done.

Have you ever had neighbors that slowly renovated next door to you?

Time to refinish our basement

by

I am so tired of looking at my unfinished basement. I pretty much can’t stand going downstairs – except of course to do the laundry or to store extra supplies. So … I’ve resolved to start refinishing the basement some time in the new year – probably in the spring.

I don’t really want a fancy finished basement, just something practical. You know – since the basement is small half the area would be for the furnace and laundry and perhaps some extra storage and the other half could be finished like a den or rec room with cozy couches, a reclining chair and one or two modern coffee tables.

If we’re really smart about it, the couch will be a pull out so we’ll have some extra sleeping space for guests. We do have two spare bedrooms upstairs but sometimes we have several guests stay over and having an spare bed in the basement wouldn’t be a bad idea. Not at all!

Do you still have an unfinished basement or did you bite the bullet and finish your basement?

Nephews first home

by

One of our nephews just moved out on his own recently. He’s so proud of his new home.

He actually invited us over to his new place earlier this week for dinner. His new home is just a bachelor apartment, but he’s decorated it nicely. Of course it’s a real guys place … He’s even got one of those pull up bar’s in a door way. LOL

I was surprised how well he could cook. He made us a nice chicken dinner. I’d be happy to have dinner there regularly. I think he’s going to do fine on his own.

Time to decorate the house for Christmas?

by

Wow, it’s hard to believe, but there are less than two months until Christmas!

Of course, if you’ve been shopping in the stores in my area (Toronto) it’s been looking like Christmas for the last month or so – but more so now that our Thanksgiving is over.

I didn’t decorate the house the last few years, but I want to decorate this year. I want to ditch the old lights and get some LEDs. Actually … it will be getting cool here soon, so it would be a good idea for us to get our lights up soon. It’s much easier to put the outdoor lights up when the weather isn’t too cold rather than when it’s already cold or worse – snowing!

I have tons of indoor decorations – two trees, even antique or vintage decorations. The only thing I don’t have is Snow cap stockings to hang on the mantle. I’d love to get one for my husband and one for myself.

Do you decorate your house at Christmas time? Do you just decorate the inside of the house or do you decorate the outside as well?
