32 days to go

So I quit counting what day we were on because I lost track and so now it's how many days u till our goal of putting our house on the market. June 1st. 

I think a lot has gone on since I last posted, or so I would like to believe. I'm waiting to go to target and half price books (date night) with Rick. He's currently swearing and deeming the fan we bought for the master bed room a piece of junk. When in reality it's probably something to do with the fact that we're wiring it to an electrician box we unburied from the ceiling. So, pause right here again, he just dragged me over to the fan. The wiring indeed works, he plugged light into it and it works but the fan will not work. So ricks theory of it being a piece of junk is currently in the running to be truth.

And now I'm off to find Peggy, or maybe me, the illustrated version of Harry Potter. 

Okay a whole day later I'm back.

Here are the things we have done since I last wrote...

I'll try to get a post up next about my experience with a paint sprayer. I know a few folks are curious if they're worth buying. For now I leave you with a few pictures of our lives right now. 

First floor, guest bathroom, aka "tiny bathroom" is done. I think I'll work on writing a blog post dedicated to each room and what it has gone through for each finished room. 

The almighty shower pan for the master bathroom. It feels so good to pay someone to tile it for us. 

Fact. I hate painting ceilings. They are the worst. I don't mind painting, it blows my mind that people pay people to paint for the, it's soooooo easy! But painting ceilings. I really hate. 

Master bedroom before
