The new Sparkle Shop!

The last few days have focused on the laundry room. Another learning experience. Lesson learned….sometimes what paint looks like in the can or on the sample chips, does not really look the same on the wall. We wanted a sunny yellow laundry room. What we got was an “electric yellow lime” laundry room…. Wow! It was bright we can tell you that. Needless to say, we just couldn’t go with it, and ended up getting another color and re-painting the room. That is what you see here. More work but what the heck heh… At this point, what would have normally been “a lot of work” is now just a joke. Just do it and move on.
On the positive side we finally got to do a load of laundry at the house!!! We both learned how to set up a washer and dryer, build a stand, connect the electric (with some help from Wayne!) Wow, what a thrill it was to turn on the washer and start the process. No more “Sparkle Shop” Laundromat. No more quarters to feed the machines. Oh my! We have our own "Sparkle Shop!"
On the horizon – cabinets are being made for next 3-4 weeks. During that time we are tiling, sanding/painting, re-route driveway and install propane tank, pour front door pad, install front door, design and move on all railings, and take a ton of crap to the dump.
But best of all.... "Hank" came over to check out the Sparkle Shop - he approved! He's adorable!
