Working for the Weekend

This week has been pretty quiet, home-wise. We've been enjoying roma tomatoes and our wonderful strawberries. Our basil's quite good, too. So that's been fun.

We took back the little pendant lights we bought at Home Depot, because while we were in Portland this past weekend playing with a friend, we saw lights we like better. So we're looking into prices and styles in an attempt to decide what we like, since we'll hopefully be wiring for them in the next couple of weeks. We also picked up our window at Home Depot, since we'll be tearing out one of the old nook windows (the one on the east side). That way we can re-side that entire side of the house. One wall will look nice, at least!

We also cut some nails and did a little more demolition in preparation for this weekend. We have to tear up some of the floor to move the door to the kitchen, and then this weekend we will frame our brains out. I'm glad it's a long weekend; hopefully we'll get a lot done.

One fun thing we did this week was bought a dining table. We got it off Craigslist, and it's a nice, sturdy teak table that has two leaves. It'll seat eight comfortably, ten uncomfortably, when the leaves are out. I really like it, and I like that we didn't pay very much for it. Now that we have a dining table, we can place where we want the pendant lights to be. It's exciting. Now that we have a table, and we're talking about lights, it almost feels like we might actually be able to live in our house like real people someday. Imagine that!
