This  week was filled with trying to finish up a few projects. Finally finished the closets in the guest room which we are currently using as a master. Lots of storage but all needed about 3 coats of paint and the 16 drawers were extremely tedious which I guess is why they took so long (probably 2 months). Not sure what will be done will the doors which are and unattractive plywood. That discussion is of course for another day.

Another seemingly easy project in that room took longer than anticipated (story of this house).  Old fan was not same size as new one.  So spackle, sanding,  repainting… 1/2 hour project took about 3 days.

We are moving along inside but thought I would share some of the rare days of sunshine we’ve had. The roof is FINALLY done. Luckily we were not paying by the hour! Now we have ventured into the realm of pool ownership. I know there are pool haters out there but I am a swimmer and general sun worshipper(no sermons, please. I know the risks of cancer and trust me the damage has been done) . So here is what I lovingly call the cess pool.  We bought the house as is in December so no telling what lies beneath. We purchased a small pump on eBay and that little thing worked like a champ. The water-soaked leaves were heavy and gross but it took about 3 hours and the cover was dry! We looked underneath and the water looks clear and smells like chlorine , so I think we are getting close! The mismatched lawn furniture needs some love.  I am thinking  of spray painting all the wrought iron stuff an aqua blue. Any thoughts or comments on that process?
