Saturday started out great, Tom was busy getting the floor going in the office. My brother Eric stopped by to lend a hand before heading up to work at the ER. (at least if someone got hurt we knew we had a doctor in the house)I put him right to work. We needed to move the cabinets by the fridge up about a 1/4 of an inch so that the fridge would slide under with no issues. After a few trys the doc satisfied is need for perfection and we were all set.
On to project #2, My parents showed up to help. My mom and my bro built the entertainment center to go under the tv. funny little story...i see eric and my mom sorting through a bag full of assorted nuts, bolts, screws and fixtures trying to figure out which is what number on the directions.....after they get everything sorted out, i unpack the TV and there is a bag with all of the screws needed and each different kind is in its own little compartment labeled with letters. I thought
, wow they got smart and helped us out a little bit.Speaking of the TV, Matt and his family stopped by to help me hang the new tv. We wanted it mounted before the cable people come on friday. BTW, Can't wait for RED SOX IN HD!!!!!! After a few issues, we managed to secure the bracket and hang the tv on the wall and move the entertainment center underneath for a nice finished look.
As an added security feature, my dad installed the mini blinds in the
living room and Amanda, Ruth and Jeracah installed the curtains in the dining room.My dad also was busy witha few other small projects, finished the shower walls (plugging the holes fromt he shower doors) fixing the icemaker hose and reataching the closet door.
The day before on friday was both our mothers birthdays, March 6, so we surprised them with a cake and it made for a yummy dessert!!We hung one of the Mezuzahs that were a gift from my grandparents. Jewish people put this in their doorways to bless you as you enter the home. We have another for the front door.

We attached the door knocker which is engraved with our name.
And my dad helped Amanda install new locks on the doors.
Throughout the Day Amanda's dad was hard at work in the office....haha putting down floors that is and Amanda's mother was hard at work in the bathroom.....painting that is.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
Amanda and I tried to get to the house early today, but due to daylight savings, we got there at about the same usual time. We decided we needed to clean up a bit. and by cleaning up Amanda sorting things out, Toms box and Seans Box. What happens everytime someone cleans up, WE CANT FIND
ANYTHING. Half of the day was spent searching for things that were where??? IN THE BOX!!!Tom and I finished the office with the hardwood floor. It looks great and ready for molding. and with that room finished......all that is left is the guest room, which Jay and I will tackle Tuesday night. With the help from my bro.
Amanda was busy putting up some curtains, cleaning the cabinets and
putting felt pads on the kitchen table and chairs we brought over to eat at. She also continued her cleaning efforts and organized the bar area, where everything we own is right now.So all in all it was a very productive weekend. We got alot done, some of which I am probably forgetting here. Stay tuned this week for more progress and hopefully the completion of the hardwood floor.
Unitl next time....
