So the former owners of this house stuck this weird shelf thing between the kitchen and dining room.
We called it the "tween" - because it was between the kitchen and dining room. (duh) Admittedly, it was handy for just stashing things on (making it a junk catcher). But I hated the sight of it. In fact, the very first time we ever looked at this house, the first words out of my mouth were, "If we buy this house, that has to go."
Well, this weekend was it's time. We took it out, in preparation of painting the dining room.
Itwasn't too bad ... it was mostly mounted on iron brackets underneath, which were just put in with screws. The only tricky part is that it had these cutouts underneath, to fit over the wall ledge thingy, so Greg actually had to saw off one side of it with a small powered handsaw, in order to just slide it out of it's slot. If that makes any sense.
But that's done - Yay! Now I can start prepping the dining room walls for painting.
Pennsic Prep
It's that time of year! Greg set up his idea for the family area of the Pennsic camp, in our backyard this week, to test it out.
I think it's looking pretty awesome. We have a tent for me and Greg; a tent just for the kids; and a storage tent, for extra stuff. It's a great set-up!
Hopefully I'll get to be there enough to enjoy it. I have a bead on a potential dog-sitter for (hopefully) about 6 nights running - which would be awesome! The best plan I had before that was someone for only about 2 nights total. We'll see.
Happy Poo
Yeah, that's what we have here.
He had his teeth cleaned Monday, which freaked me out because they have to anesthetize dogs for that, and with him being older, and (allegedly) having kidney problems, that's always a risk. But he did really well, no problems, and now his teeth are all cleaned.
Of all the pampering and holistic things I've always done for this dog, one of them was not brushing his teeth. But as worried as I was about his having to have anesthesia, I don't ever want to go through that again. So, I'm going to do it ... I'm going to start brushing his teeth, to hopefully avoid ever having to have another cleaning. Oh boy.
We've Got Mail
We came home Monday to mail in our mailbox. Yay! No more mail slot in the door, walking in on top of the mail on the floor. The handiest part is, I can put outgoing mail in it, too ... no more having to find a mail drop box or drive to the post office.
I know - little things amuse me.
And that's all my news for now.
