Retaining Wall
I don't know if any of you remember but about a month and a half ago someone ran into our retaining wall with their car. Well thankfully their insurance company did cover the cost of replaces the retaining wall. We finally got it fixed yesterday and it looks amazing!

Long time no see..
I am a horrible blogger. So to catch up real quick. Last Tuesday night I had to go to L&D again because I could not get the contractions to stop. We were there for five hours. Man I don't know what is wrong with me, I feel like I am already failing as a mother cuz I keep having all of these problems. I just want to be able to keep him in the longest so I can give him a fighting chance. I am so scared of going in to premature labor... Anywho I had a follow up on Monday, he said did an ultrasound and said that cervix was "ok". He said my restrictions are still the same no sex, lots of rest when I am at home, and to drink lots of water. My appointments are now every two weeks because he wants to monitor me more closely. I am now on procardia for the rest of the pregnancy. I am completely stressed out because of the house stuff that we have to get done before he gets here. I just don't see how we can do it! Or should I say DH, cuz I honestly can't help that much! I just need to pray about it, cuz I know it will all work itself out in the end. On another note one of my friends had her baby on Sunday. She had her on her actual due date! Her baby is really cute! Seeing DH hold a new born is still funny, he tenses up and he kept saying I don't want to break her lol. It was cute. Tomorrow we are getting the new retaining wall put in, hopefully everything goes smoothly with that! I will put updated pics of the retaining wall when they are done! Thanks again ladies for all of your continued prayers and support! You don't know how much DH and I appreciate it!

This house hates us!!!
Every single time we have ever tried to a SIMPLE project, the "simple" project turns into a major wreck.. For example our cousin was coming to live with us; and we needed to paint the room that he was going to live in because it used to a children's room and had a mountain scene painted around the whole room. So we bought primer and white paint... Well we put the first coat of primer on and the paint that was already on the wall just sucked it right up it looked like we hadn't done anything! So we put a second coat on and this one kinda started to cover it. Once we were getting ready to put the third coat on my mil noticed that the paint was bubbling! Huh?!?! The next thing I know she is starts to paint on a wall that had no bubbling and as she rolled not only was the previous two coats coming off but the paint that was originally on the wall was coming off!!! Ahh!!! The enitre room ended up peeling!!! See pic below
Than what was underneath the lovely mountain scene that was peeling off a bright YELLOW wall!! Lets just saw a $125 dollar project turned into a $600 project by the time we were all done!! That is just one example...
Fast forward to our most recent project.. Putting new trim up (took all the old trim off to finish the floors) and new door frames and doors... This should be a "simple" project right? LOL no! As my husband was taking trim off in the bathroom what did he discover BLACK mold!!! GREAT!!! So now instead of fixing up the bathroom next year which we had planned on cuz we can't afford to fix the bathroom right now. We have NO choice but to fix the bathroom now as black mold is TOXIC! So now not only does Guy have to finish the back room (which entails finishing the mudding and taping, laying down the laminate hard wood floors, texturing the walls, painting the walls, and adding new trim), now he gets to completely gut the bathroom all the way down to sub-floors (we aren't taking any chances with this black mold) and re-do the bathroom. Oh and we also have to texture and paint the baby room and the hallway as well. And this all needs to be done in 13 weeks... Here is the part where I start laughing than crying! I feel bad because I can't help DH with much, he has some friends helping him but for the most part this is all on his own! He is SO stressed and I feel so bad for him! I know God will get us through this as he always does. But man I swear this house HATES us and just does not want to be fixed up at ALL!!! On the positive side of all of this after the bathroom is done the only thing that Guy and I have left to update is the kitchen and than the inside of this house will be completely re-modeled!!! If you guys could say a prayer for us that all of this can get done before the baby gets here especially the bathroom as it is DANGEROUS for a newborn, Guy and I would really appreciate it!!! : )

Our House
Wow! Ok so when we bought this house we knew it would be a project house. So far we have re-done the sewer, finished the hard wood floors, added knock down to the front room, and master bedroom (painted those rooms as well), got new front and back doors, re-roofed our back side of the house, and completely re-did our back room (well it's almost done). Our back room used to be two rooms. But it had no over head lighting and no heat! Yes it has a fire place but the fire place does not have a blower on it so that room was FREEZING in the winter time. So we knocked the wall down to make it one big room. The did not have dry wall in that room except for one wall. They had this ugly wood paneling so we took it all down, took all of the drywall off of the ceiling cuz there was water damage.Took all the carpet up cuz it was red and gross. So we added canned lighting, we added a heater for that side of the house. So far we have all of the new dry wall up we still are the in the process of mudding and taping this room is HUGE. But should be done with that in the next couple of weekends. Than we can knockdown that back room, add our laminate hard wood flooring, and add the trim. Than the only thing left in that back room will be the marble for the fireplace and the new mantel.
All of roots that were getting into the old clay pipe sewer line
Starting to dig up the sewer
The entire sewer dug up and taken out
The new sewer in
Me helping to cover up the sewer line
We also added a clean sweep as well
Starting to sand the floors
Floors completely sanded
Floors finsihed!
Another pic of the finished floors!
Starting to take down the wall separating the two rooms
The ugly wood paneling that was through out the whole room
My hubby goofing off
The ceiling exposed showing all of the old nasty insulation
The fire place with all the old brick
Starting to knock the brick down
All the brick almost off
No more brick
Adding the canned lighting
Adding the new insulation
Putting the dry wall up on the ceiling
Dry wall almost all up
Almost done
These are all the pics I have so far! I will post more when we are finished! But last night we went to lowes and we bought all new trim for the whole house, new door for every room and the laminate floors! We hope to have it all done very soon!
