Hey all, we layed more tile! We are having drain problems in the other bathroom, so we decided to put in a second bathroom before moving in. The drain problems are outside the house between the house and main drain. We think it might be caused by an old cast-iron pipe that sat empty for a few years, or maybe a tree root. Who knows, but we can't call roto-rooter in because we aren't even supposed to be using the bathroom yet. So until we pass final plumbing inspection, we need to help the problem.
It has been Spring Break this past week. I decided to do something drastic that would help everyone feel like we had done something big, even though we didn't. I got the girls' ears pierced. It was fun and scary for Samantha especially.
Then, we had a fashion show with new clothes from Grandma and Aunt Alysa.
Remember the legs my dad and I turned on his lathe? Well, I'm finally building the cabinet for them. This goes into the master bathroom. Wait until you see the sink that sits on this!!!
And finally, we've been working on the kitchen cabinets. It took many hours to modify the cabinet below for this awesome sink.
And I forgot, one last thing: We dyed raw eggs this year in between conference. Then we hot-glued the eggs to yarn and tied them up between the trees in our back yard. Imagine shooting a raw egg with a bb gun!! It was a lot of fun. Every time the kids shot an egg, they would get to hunt a candy egg from the grass behind where we were shooting. It's just an extra step, I guess.
One more really, really last thing: For anyone who I told we were going to be refinishing the wood floors this weekend. The person who was going to help us, and insisted on renting the sander and everything, backed out on Friday night. It was disappointing. Oh well. We had other stuff to do though, and it worked out just fine.
