Weekend Projects

The pursuit of sale-ability continued last weekend with a number of small but vital projects getting done. The most impressive item on my list would have to be the installing a towel bar in the bathroom. Level even! I also cleared the bathroom sink trap of wads of blond, curly hair and installed a self-adhesive baseboard in the bathroom. Unfortunately, the old baseboard had a large "toe" (the bottom lip that juts out a bit) so the new baseboard left a bit of a gap between the end of the toe and the tile flooring.

Kerry, not to be outdone, laid a nice bead of caulk along the bathroom sink surround and along the baseboard to cover the aforementioned gap. She wasn't all that happy with how it turned out but I reminded her of our mantra: "It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to sell." Our other mantra is: "Eh, it's better than it was..." She also re-hung then patio door curtains and touched up various areas of painting. She also picked up a new small microwave to help enhance counter top space. (An under-cabinet unit isn't an option). Finally, she also ran the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle 8K.

We need to figure out how to re-tile a narrow strip in the kitchen where the "new" counter top didn't quite match up with the level of the tile. The great, big microwave covered that up but if anyone looks back there, we'd have some 'splainin' to do, Lucy. We will either have to have some matching-ish tile installed or some accent tile (which would make the room uneven since the gap is only on one wall of the galley kitchen). Or we could just continue to hide the gap behind the smaller microwave and Sugar Jars.

Hopefully, the fireplace doors will be delivered Wednesday and I can get it installed while Kerry is out of town in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I'd also like to get the cracked bedroom closet mirrored door replaced by then. We'll have to see about that.
