As you all know, we have been trying to renovate the half bath upstairs to create a full bath due to the downs stairs shower freezing up. It has been pretty warm the last few days. It got up into the 30’s. So, the downstairs shower defrosted. We are able to shower at the house again, but not for long. It’s starting to get cold again. I’m sure that the pipes in the shower wall will freeze up again.

We got the walls, plumbing, and the tub in place. I’ve painted the sheet rock and ceiling with primer. I need to paint the ceiling with the color white I chose. Hopefully, this week we will get the hard surface shower walls installed and it will be finished.

I can’t wait to have a full bath on the same floor as my bedroom. It’s very exciting! I also need to tape and mud some sheet rock where my vanity is going and then I can prime that too. It’s going to be wonderful to get all my girlie stuff of my chest of drawers in my room and into the bathroom where it belongs.

Dan gave me a rug for my bedroom the other day! It’s awesome! It covers most of my bedroom floor. Betsy loves it because she can roll and rub all over it.

It’s pretty darn cool. I can now walk barefooted in my room! Gandie loves it too! It’s very comfortable to sleep on. Taco just doesn’t care. He likes the bed. The rug even matches my quilt that I’m still trying to finish.

This house has almost no storage space. I’m still trying to figure out where to put stuff. I think I’m probably going to get rid of more stuff. If I haven’t used it in a year it should go. I’m sick of living with stuff all over the place. Nothing has a home because there is no place for anything.

Well. That’s all I have to tell you. I got nothing else.

Here’s a picture of my winter view from my bedroom.
