New Cabinets

It's been a while since our last kitchen update. The next major hurdle in this marathon occurred today. Our cabinets finally arrived. But first a recap of what we have been working on.

We now have shelves...


We also have Waynes Coating (Beadboard)...


Our cabinets arrived promptly at 7:20 AM this morning...


We installed all the wall cabinets and everything looked great...


And then the major buzz kill of the day. The first base cabinet I opened was busted. Fan-freaking-tastic.


I'll have a fun phone call with Kitchen Distributors tomorrow morning. More pictures here.

Imitation is the finest form of flattery

The wife and I will be out of town this weekend at Lake Champion as I do program Geese and Horrigan for a Campaigner Weekend. We decided a video would be something funny to add to our incredibly hilarious, thought-provoking, and creative program for the weekend.

The basic premise is that is that Geese is a plumber and Horrigan is a nerd. They are both trying to get people to join their clubs and that's where I come in and pick on them. At some point they will say, "Man, that guy has been picking on us for years..." and this video will commence...



Now 4 years ago, the three of us were also in charge of program for a weekend. We had a similar idea for a video...



As you can see, we subscribe to the theory that the wheel does not need to be re-invented.

Old Man Softball

Recently I played softball with our church's team and the wifey was a good sport and came along to photograph the event. The problem was the game only lasted about a half an hour because the team we were playing laid the smackdown and slaughtered us in a few innings. So for our resident photographer to stay entertained she created another photo shoot for the Weaver kids.




All the pictures are right here.

Carpet!

This house thing makes me feel older and older by the second. I'm excited for carpet. But then again I never understood how much carpet cost when I was younger either. Here are some before and after shots...

We Own A House...Holy Shnikies!

So CZ and I are brand new homeowners. It is both exciting and slightly insane, but we are having fun.


This is our progress on priming the wood panel in the downstairs room for the big painting extravaganza on Saturday.


And here is my first romantic candlelit dinner with Sparky. It was almost literally candlelit since there is a cinnamon apple scented candle near the window and a lamp with no shade out of the picture. You can follow all the action by clicking here.

New House!

CZ and I just agreed on a contract for a house and completed our inspection today. Check out the pictures here. There is definitely a lot of work that needs to be done but we can't wait to get in there and get started.
