After a couple weeks off, I'm back to my early morning walks.
While this picture makes our bathroom look pretty nice, the tin ceiling was peeling and rusting, the walls were bubbling up and the 1/2 wall needed some TLC.
We had also patched some of the walls after we first moved in and never painted. It was time.
First step was taking down the trim and figuring out how the tin ceiling was attached to the joists.
I was so nervous that there was going to be either plaster falling apart or a super moldy ceiling underneath. This was actually going to be much easier to replace.
I knew that there wasn't plaster under here from back when we had the electrical work updated before the attic was insulated. I would just need to alter the furring strips that are attached to the joists through the old lathe.
Meanwhile it was library day for me and Meadow.
I had to make a return at Sierra Trading Post and picked up this for Ms Scratchy.
Meadow and I also started her Bob Ross Chia Pet that she got for Christmas.
The kiddos have been drawing together. Each kiddo gets half a page and meets in the middle.
The kids and I were watching a movie upstairs when Theo realized you could see through the floor into the bathroom.
I think I was taking a bath after making a mess of the bathroom. Thankfully they couldn't see me.
Theo has his favorite breakfasts, if it's not smiley breakfast, it's waffles. Meadow and I also picked up some pink pineapple yesterday.
Most of Sunday I spent deep cleaning our front porch.
Theo even helped me for a bit.
We recently picked up an Instant Pot. It's awesome for speeding up slow roasts. Tonight I made French Dips.
We may be 10 years late to the trend. We had gone back and forth on it for years and finally decided to get one. And we have been loving it.
Now onto patching up the walls and caulking all the mishaps from the previous owners. This was going to take more than a week...
