It's Quality and Quantity, My Dear Watson.

Things are happening at RHN. Are you reeeeaaaddy to ruuuuuuuuummmmmbllleee?!?!? This is going to be a picture heavy post, my dear peeps. Although all of the items done this past weekend were somewhat small, they all added up. So, let's take a jaunt through small accomplishment weekend at RHN.


1.) Ed built the bathroom vanity. It is awesome and made of solid red oak. The graining in the wood is fantastic and almost resembles a zebra. Wanna see? Cman and Saranac helped.

1/3 finished:

 2.) Dad finished mudding the ceiling in the kitchen. We had to quarentine the premises to ensure the dust from sanding the mud didn't blanket everything in the color white. We covered all the newly redone floors in plastic, too.  Oh, and that attic access point in the second picture? That stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb nonsense is now white to match the ceiling. Didn't think it was excitement enough to capture on camera.

3.) Connor ate pizza and drank Arnold Palmer (that iced tea is the shizzle).

4.) Cman and Ed finally replaced the one piece of missing holy sheet!rock in the living room. This piece was the missing link to all walls solid.

5.) My dad is a maniac sander and sanded the old peely, splotchy, kinda-rotting-but-can-be-saved, cracked front door. This door is heavy and solid oak. Translation: replacing a door like that would cost mucho dinero. So, Ed and I picked a stain color called Kona (coincidence?) and I stained and polyurethaned the bee-jeezeus out of it. The color we picked doesn't look 100% cohesive with the red, but there is a method to our madness. Hopefully next year RHN will get its big outdoor makeover. That's all the splainin' I'm doing, Lucy. Anyway, with the stain and poly, no longer will the door be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment known as the the wrath of mother nature. We are super heroes, saving one door at a time.

So, ladies and gents, this here is what was completed this past weekend at RHN while mother nature was pouring down rain. We are pretty close to picking a color for the giant room walls. I think this weekend we will be tackling the air conditioner and priming the kitchen ceiling along with tiling the shower in the bathroom and maybe painting in there. Wait until you see that color for the bathroom. It. is. genius. Ok, that's really not the technical name - honestly, I don't know what name Behr gave it, but in super hero speak, it's genius.
