New Bathroom

While the house is off the market we're adding another bathroom upstairs so that its not just the Jack & Jill one. That was a real turn off for everyone.

So we're redoing the old one at the same time. It measures 12.5X5 feet, we're not changing the bathtub or toilet but the old vanity HAD to go. As did the old towel rails and mirror. 

I picket up a pretty light blue paint, Schoolboy Blue, for the bathroom walls

Below, the top pipe is for the toilet & the lower one is the shower' We T'd in to add the drain for the new shower & will do so for the toilet also.

The sink will be added next.

This is the view from the door into the new bathroom. It used to go into our bedroom.

This is from across the old bedroom; the old door opening in the middle is going to be closed off and the vanity will cover most of that area with the toilet by the garbage can & the shower on the left.

This is where the new door to the bedroom will be, at the top of the stairs. We're going to make sliding barn doors like we have for the downstairs bathroom. Not only for this bedroom door, but also for the bathroom & other bedroom at the end of the hall. 

But before we could do the bathrooms, we had to get the other bedroom set up for us to use.

removed the carpet & put down the remaining Acacia hardwood flooring.

I painted the walls a very light gray (sorry, don't recall the name)

and painted the window wall & trim Blizzard Fog.

We put all new trim around the floor. The door on the left, to the hallway, will eventually be replaced by a barn door, I'd like the other one, into the bathroom, also to be a barn door.

While we were at Lowes I saw a new fan I like 

to replace this old, white monstrosity. This is a cool fan because its got a remote but its so ugly.

I can't wait to see the new one in action and it too has a remote.

FOR SALE

Now that we've gotten our home in absolutely gorgeous shape, 

WE'RE SELLING.

Its got the new hardwood floors and fresh paint 

The kitchen is perfect with the new countertops

I LOVE this backsplash

You know whats funny? I just repainted this 'Silver Charm' wall today and it is now off white

I also painted this wall off white this morning also

Here is  one of my favorite changes made this week, painted the stairs turquoise

Here you can see the new paint below the stairs

I'm going to miss this tack room!!

And this view, waking up to it every morning has been fabulous

And There It Is

The front fence is in,  

except for the electric. I could put horses out there tomorrow if I so desired but I'm going to wait for the electric fencing to go in. I really want to see Mack get hit with that.

And the field fencing isn't up yet either but we're not putting the dogs in here yet either.

Its about 5 feet tall, just enough that the horses probably won't jump over it.

August Was Busy

The horse runs are almost ready to use. One has buckshot, the rest have just builders sand.

This is the second run, behind the second stall. I think this is Wifi's stall & run. I still need to fill the post holes with gravel or move sand before I put any horses in them.

That's the first stall, probably Gus's run. Currently there are Quail in that stall and he has use of the entire arena every night.

Took a trip over to Eastern Washington for 5 tons of grass alfalfa hay. I've never had a goofier looking load before.

It all made it home & we didn't lose any. 

Coming down Chinook & Cayuse Pass's, our truck brakes were smoking.

The barn in the evening sun.

We got the chicken coop moved. It was in this location when we moved in, it was covered in sticker bushes and the doors & windows were falling off. 

The chickens had a touch time figuring out where to go to bed but with a little (lot) of encouragement from us, they got ended up inside.

We are going to put the big run on the right side and a small one of the left. That way we can have separate areas for new chicks or special hens.
