Re: What did you accomplish this week?

@hoosieroriginal Please post a pic!  I love the kitchen area that you rehabbed!

 

Picked out tiles and stone ledger last Monday.  I've never had a big project before...we're putting in a pool.  Just want to make right color choices.  Now just have to wait and see how it all comes together.

Re: What did you accomplish this week?

I brought my 2000 venture van  to the dealer and told them to fix anything that needed replacing or fixing.... that final bill was  for $4600 😳. I also found a free treadmill on the next door neighbor web sight.... and found someone who for a fee of $ 95 would pick the treadmill up and bring it into my home.

 

So I have a car that runs great, and a new treadmill. Pretty good week👍🤗

@SeaMaiden - Yes, people who have a treadmill to get rid of will do about anything to get rid of them.  Great that you found someone to deliver it to you - enjoy it!  Also glad you got your van fixed - sometimes it's expensive, but a lot better than making car payments - right?

Re: What did you accomplish this week?

When I moved into my new home I got rid of anything and everything I didn't need or used but I noticed last week that the two nightstand tables and the entertainment table had gotten full of junk and today I threw everything out and moved everything to its place

Re: What did you accomplish this week?

I made great progress on consolidating and organizing my genealogy paperwork, as well as entered a lot of data on my different family trees.  

 

The highlight of my week was finding a letter written by my great great aunt mentioning her visit to her sons grave.   She mentioned enough details that allowed me to find her son and DIL's grave listing, with pictures on the Find-a-Grave website!   That crossed one long time nagging question off my Find It Out list.   I'm still smiling about it!

Re: What did you accomplish this week?

Wow @hoosieroriginal. I'm so jealous! I have wanted to fix up my laundry room for years. I can barely turn around in mine. I have toys, appliances, small appliances, gardening supplies - you name it. And no place to organize them. Your's sounds amazing! This week I booked my boss and his family on a Quebec and Toronto vacation for the end of August, hatched 5 Eastern Swallowtail butterflies, and found more ways to use up 10 lbs. of zucchini.

@MickD - here are pics:  It's a basement laundry room - old but looks 150% better than it did.

@PA Mom-mom - FYI - I posted pictures - it took a couple of months because the wallpaper was so darned hard to get off.  It was well worth it though.  I keep walking back and looking at it.
