As told by Kat » House http://www.mrskatvon.com Living with Juvenile Batten Disease Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:35:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Busy weekend http://www.mrskatvon.com/2008/07/19/busy-weekend/ http://www.mrskatvon.com/2008/07/19/busy-weekend/#comments Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:14:21 +0000 Kat http://www.mrskatvon.com/?p=829 Tomorrow we are taking down the walls in our living room and up to the stairway of the second floor.  I’m not really looking forward to it because I cannot stand the feeling of plaster dust on my hands and feet but we have to get it done.  The winter is around the corner and having another cold season with old, leaky windows and no insolation isn’t exactly the way to fight the rising cost of heating fuel.

 We have a small group of teenagers that are expected at 8am so I need to get some cash, soda and pizza organized.  :)   I’ll take some pictures. 

 Today the kiddos and I are at home until mid afternoon when John comes home.  We bought another air conditioner for one of the kids rooms which John will install tonight.  I think the boys and girls might share a room tonight just for fun and if the sleeping improves with the new unit I might get a second one for the  boys room.  We have five bedrooms but the kids, for whatever reason, prefer to sleep together (R & J in one room and L & B in the other room).  Our 3 small units seems to perfectly fit the first floor and it is pretty comfortable in here.  It has been in the 90’s for the last couple of days so I haven’t been out on my bike but I am hoping it will happen tonight.  Maybe I’ll ride to get the food supplies for tomorrow and ride the “eats” home in the bike trailer.  I know it sounds boring but I love my bike time (with or without kiddos).

Let me “take you back” to a before and after shot:

Rather than trying to kill ourselves to knock down these walls, insulate, etc, before the end of the year… I think we are going to patch what needs patching, sand what needs sanding and PAINT.

So I ask you, what color should this go? The room doesn’t get a whole lot of light and the carpet is crimson, navy with a little bit of olive / marine green.
