Tuesday Tidbits...

I am happy to report that we got Joe's office done last night (as scheduled!). The only things left in there are my craft/jewelry supplies, which I still have to organize and straighten up - later. The guest room is done, and so is our room. Tonight, my intent is to clean the kitchen and refrigerator.  There are too many jars in the fridge, with science experiments or only two pickles left (if you know what I mean). Need to empty that out, and the counters need to be cleaned better. The kitchen got the least of my attention over the weekend.

I am also happy to report that Joe worked with a man, recommended by a friend, who fixes pool screens. I think I mentioned that Joe poked a hole in one of the screen panels, when he put the tent up out there, to hold over-flow junk during the renovations. For a very reasonable price, the man (Sam) fixed that panel, and another one he found that also had a little hole in it. He tightened some of the structural bolts and gave Joe some good advice on the right kind of spline to use when a panel comes loose. All good!! The tent is down and the screen is fixed!

Some of you asked to see photos, so here are a few that I took last night.  I don't have one of Joe's office, because he was working on a tax return, and my craft stuff is still kind of piled in there, in one corner. You did see pictures of the floor and his new carpet, in a previous post.

 Lilly has made herself at home on the guest room bed.

 While Lucy has taken the rug beside the guest room bed.

 Another view of the guest room.

 Onyx has made himself at home on the daybed, in Joe's office.

We gave our dining room back (except for the boxes of photos,
stacked against the wall, which I will get to one of these days.

We heard from #2 son, Jeff, last night!! He is coming next week, and will be here with #1 son, Joey, and grandson, Tristan. Four D'Orsaneo men under the same roof!! There are some fun times ahead. It's been a long time since both of our guys were here at the same time, with Tristan, too!! Darlene and I will be in the minority!  I'm so excited!!  There will be photos!!

Thanks for stopping in! I appreciate your visit and comments!!
 Wishing you a good Tuesday.  Peace, love & hugs.

  9. I'm going to have to go back through your posts to get caught up with the pictures of your new floors. The guest room is pretty. What little bit of the floor that's visible, it looks beautiful. I wish I could do hardwood floors, but the weather is too cold in Ohio.
    It sounds like you'll have a good time next week with the boys all under the same roof. :) Looking forward to seeing pictures.

  14. Y'all have a very lovely home. I can't wait to finish our renovations. They're minor, just replacing carpeting for Pergo flooring, touch-ups, etc., but it'll make the old homestead look so much better. Thanks for sharing! And hope the visit goes as planned and everyone has a splendid time. ~:)
