Almost there little Apartment

We have made some progress the last 2 weeks on the apartment.
 I swear(!)it will be done soon. 
Fingers crossed and many construction prayers offered over here. 
We need to rip up the inside of the Milkbarn pronto.

This is a stud finder.
I mean, that joke just wrote itself.
I digress.


Okay! Moving on.
The new septic tank was installed. Sullivan Septic  did the install. Honestly, the nicest guys to have around. 
They all kept me company and made sure the kids were feeling better.
Um, having no ability to flush a toilet when kids have a rotovirus?
Miracle #39- noone needed the bathroom for most of that day! 


Apartment bathroom in progress. 
Had to do bead board!

Clay and Audrey did the tiling.
 Cool herringbone placement with just an in stock Lowes tile.

Taped off and painting!
My friend keeps telling me; paint is a good sign.
True true! 



After debating what the heck to do with the bedroom in the apartment (the previous owner glued sound proof tiles to the ceiling and we couldn't get them off), last Thursday night I heard a ruckus to find Clay had torn the whole thing out.
So now, the re-dry walling begins.

It's official: Clay owns any and every tool necessary to build anything. 
Even an ark.
 I walked in and was like...does this belong on a sail boat?
This, my friends, is a Dry Wall Hoist.
After we dry walled the room we needed to insulate the ceiling. 

The insulating dream team here.

The shredded paper insulation is cut open and put into that tub below where a hose shoots it out to where you need it.

The last few weeks have been super busy.

Lucy was in 3 acts of the school talent show. It was awesome.

Henry's "C" plane from his Science Fair project;
 Which Paper Airplane goes the farthest? 
It was C. See?  

Audrey decided to wear homework heels while doing Math.

And I randomly modeled for Audrey in my church outfit...which made me curious to start an IG account of my 
weekend clothes worn at the Milkbarn. 
But then, that would be paint stained yoga paints and face masks. Please reply if you dare me too.

And then I found this. 
Hey there Clay Clay.

Next time- Completion photos of the apartment and 
a top 10 list of what not to do in a remodeling project!
And maybe in the near future...what happened to our pigs?

    I'd you need a deadline for apartment completion, I'd say July 13th then I can see it in it's full glory! I love your life adventures almost as much as I love you. I'm wondering if the pigs have anything to do with easter dinner. . .

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires.  Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly  Fall 2024 (he already looks different) Friday morning fits Becky Ruppel photography↑ In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through... even the complainers...haha Homecoming! And nothing better t...

Post #40 The Ninja Room

The room my family has been waiting for.  Seriously!  I knew when we decided to turn this into a hang out room versus another bedroom(sorry teenage Lucy) it would be the end all at the Milkbarn.  In the 70's, when I grew up, this type of room was called a den. Rightly so. They were usually planked with wood siding and padded with two toned shag carpet. Nowadays I hear the word lounge to describe this space which only conjures up images of 20 somethings in the 90's  (ahem, that was me)   congregating at hip places with lots of sectional seating and guys thinking cigars were cool while I thought it seemed all so ridiculous.  So our children, upon carpet installation, commandeered the room for fighting and wrestling and so forth.  They named it The Ninja Room . No den, no lounge...just the ninja room. We love that they named it. We wanted to put up all of our family photographs  in a more personal space. ...
