a saturday

I asked Cam for my birthday, if he would get and install some cabinets in our little laundry room. So he agreed and a few Saturdays ago, we had some time. So, Cam said he would do the cabinets.

Here he is hanging some of them. The whole process took a little longer than planned because we had to remove the ghetto shelves that were in there. In the process of removing them, discovered that whoever put them in used a TON of drywall screws. Which means to get those out you leave a 1/4 to 1/2 inch hole in the drywall. So then we had to fill the holes. Then decided that if I was ever going to paint in there, I should do it before the cabinets were up. So I painted. Then we finally got to the hanging of the cabinets as seen below.





This is the after pic---doesn't it look great. You would really appreciate it if you had seen a before but I forgot to take one.

Now, while hanging the cabinets, we needed the boys to kinda stay out of the way, so James was playing with some Styrofoam blocks from the packaging of the cabinets.

I was ok with it, it was keeping him busy.

Then Austin decided he wanted to play too. He thought it would be fun to break pieces off and pretend it was snow. Ok, nothing a quick vacuuming can't take care of, right??

HA! They really got into it. There wasn't a piece of Styrofoam left that was bigger than 2 inches. Ok, we had to vacuum for quite a while to get it cleaned up. But hey, sometimes the mess is worth the peace while finishing a project.
