Tempus Fugit, Huh?

Yep, it's been a bit of a whirlwind. We decided to put our townhouse on the market early last summer, and it sold in less than a week.

We bought a house that isn't a strata (condo), but is a single home with a huge yard for Buddy. So essentially, we've spend the last 6 months packing, moving, unpacking, and doing some of the gazillion projects around here that needed doing. We also took a trip to Winnipeg to visit with family, and to meet our new granson Geddy! David is the ultimate handy guy, thank goodness, and as for me....well, I can paint stuff. Helluva painter, that's me.

Actually, most of the house has been painted, but I hired a pro for that, (Red Rose Painting, excellent!!). One job that I'm tackling myself is the backsplash in the kitchen, it was tiled in dull, black 2-inch ceramic. The kitchen gave you the impression that it was ringed with a rectangular abyss....very nasty. I've got one small isolated section done, it takes a total of 7 layers of primer, paint, and gloss finish. Today I started the main area, and I expect it to be done by Friday.

David and I have also built a custom workbench for my shop, (David built, I assisted) and I should be back to work by tomorrow! I can't wait, it's been far too long.

Before and after pictures of the kitchen should be ready by Friday or Saturday. Have a great week, everyone!
