any projects for the long weekend?

[heygrey]

i have a four day weekend starting rightnow. Yay! 

i finally picked a paint colour for our bedroom and we're (read: I'm) painting tomorrow. h said he'll help, but he hates painting and i really don't expect much of him. my idea, my responsibility. he'll hang in for the first half hour and then he'll retreat to the video games :-) 

after that i have plans to make an upholstered headboard, maaaybe an upholstered bed. i think we'll see how the headboard goes especially cost-wise and then maybe try the frame later. i scored a huge roll of fabric for free though so that will help the bank account. 

anyone else have anything planned?

I don't have a long weekend, but I have some spring cleaning planned. I have to wash the outdoor furniture and fixutres and wipe down all the walls and ceilings. I have the feeling that will be about all I'm able to motivate myself to do. I'd love to paint my garage, but I know that's not gonna happen. Maybe next month.

My DH doesn't paint either.

We are spending the weekend refacing our cabinets. And packing.

We ordered new cabinet doors, matching veneer and matching paint for the parts that we can't use the veneer. We spent today unpacking the delivery, prepping for refacing the lowers, painting the bits that needed painting on the lowers, and packing a bit. DH also finished some grouting and took paint to the recycling facility.

Tomorrow the new dishwasher is being delivered, we are going to apply the veneer on the lower face frame,start hanging the doors and putting the new fronts on the drawers, and...we *might* be closing on our house in FL. I am not going to hold my breath on that one, but it would be nice. If not tomorrow, then probably on Monday.

Saturday we will work on the upper cabinets (we have to paint the face frames rather than veneer, because they have a different finish than the lowers), and we have to lower the cabinets because we had raised them and added a shelf below. It worked for us, but it is really too high for shorter people. I'll paint the kitchen while we have the upper cabinets down.

Sunday we are really going to try to take a day off, but we have a lot to do, so we'll see how that goes.

We don't have a long weekend either. The plan is to spend the weekend organizing, gathering all the recycling, gathering donations, and (possibly) purchasing the items for the kitchen on which we've been stalling.

Hmm, good question. I hope to: clean up the yard, replace the ugly light fixture in our hallway, and touch up the paint in the hallway that the kids have *already* ruined, lol.

I've been pretty MIA this week because I've been working on laying the laminate flooring in my downstairs bonus room.  I'm still working on it, but it's very nearly done.  I have about three more rows of flooring left to lay, then it's putting the molding back up and painting over the nail holes.  It's been so much work, but it's looking really nice so far! Here's the result as of now: 


The picture makes the floor look very red, but it's actually very dark brown.  I'll try to grab a better picture once it's all finished, but it seems that every picture I take comes out like this; I think it's the lighting.

I have to work today and Monday. So no long weekend for me. R gets today off, though. I have no idea what he's planning on doing today. At the moment, he's sitting in a rocking chair here in my office, "keeping me company."

Chop up trees into bonfire sized bits and do annual maintenance on the riding mower including taking the blade in for sharpening and leveling the mower deck.

This weekend is insane. I have friends visiting from OOT but we really want to get the kitchen & dining room wood walls & vent hood up. See pic.

Plus, it is Easter and DD is pumped for it. We have 3 Easter egg hunts lined up!

Realtor is coming today, so we are hoping to clean & purge next weekend and list ASAP!

if we do anything we will just build a table for my son's Thomas train tracks. we just don't want to spend the $$$ they want for those things (even on amazon and ebay).

Normal weekend here, but my mom is visiting. Yay!

I got my strawberry and asparagus plants in the mail and they need to go in the garden ASAP. However e garden does not get tilled until Monday at the earliest. I debating whether I should hand dig part of the garden to plant them, or wait it out and hope they don't die. Leaning towards number two.

I had 9 tons of stone delivered yesterday for our patio project. So yeah, I'll be sore and busy for the next several weekends....

I don't have a long weekend. I'm off today work the weekend and off Monday and Tuesday because Dh has an interview out of town. I'm working on several small crafting projects since the weather is nice. I have a sewing project ill work on later. I'm hosting easter but my mom is bringing most of the stuff.

[ktzmoh]

We really need to pick a color for our office. Our toilet needs to be fixed too.... should be an easy DIY.
