Project weekend

This weekend was full of house projects. Emily and Jeffery came out to help us wrap up a few more house projects, and their help sparked some motivation in myself and John Chris. We have been at the projects for the past few months, and it has taken a toll. We now look forward to coming home to relax and enjoy our new place. We knew it would be difficult when we chose this house, but we just knew it would be exactly what we wanted once we got our hands on it. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it still seems a little farther than we expected. Pregnancy has zapped all of my extra energy these days, and I am ready to take a project break.



We painted the final coat of paint on all of the new trim, doors, and walls in the nursery. The closet and entry doors, trim, and casing took forever the prime and paint. I know Emily and I painted the dang doors 3 or 4 times before they finally looked right. It made such a huge difference and really made the room come together so we could place furniture.



The guys worked on the stair trim for a while, and in the end John Chris and I have decided that we want to redo the stairs and go ahead and add the iron balusters. John Chris saw a photo of the Kardashian Christmas card with the exact balusters and stained tread color that we That messy project has been put on the hold list until the baby arrives, and we get started again.



One project we weren't expecting to work on was the speakers on the back patio. When we moved in, there was one speaker mounted and another mounting bracket with exposed wires. Apparently one had been taken down or knocked down, and we found it sitting outside on the patio. We had assumed that the sound control knob that is by our master bedroom door operated the speakers, but we had attempted connecting our sound system without success. After a little discussion and attic exploration, the guys figured out how to correct the wiring connection. I was so excited to hear music outside! All the wiring was good and both speakers worked as well! I have no idea what the heck went on at this house prior to our purchase, but it seems as if the previous owner and her kids just tore it up. The speakers are really nice and the sound is excellent. I can't wait to hang out in the pool this summer and listen to some jams.
