Snow Day #4 and #5

More snow days! UGH!! I'm over them! Sunday afternoon we to eat a late lunch/early dinner around 3:00. it started sleeting and snowing pretty heavily while we were there. I had even talked Ken into walking around Home girds with me after we ate. Instead we headed straight home. I remember too well last year when my parents and I were caught out in a snow storm.  

It didn't really do much Sunday night, but they canceled school based on what was predicted to come Monday late morning. Kev ran a few errands and I set out to get paint to finish the hutch. While in Home Depot it started snowing pretty hard. I made it home just in time. By the way, the AWD Acadia is a beast on slippery roads. 

I gave the hutch another coat of gray and painted the back red. I still need to get knobs. I was missing a few of the ones that were on it or I would just paint them black.
I also mixed some black paint with the green I bought to make it a little darker for our dresser. I painted on a few coats and put the drawer pulls back on. I LOVE it!! i feel like I have a brand new dresser and it gave it a much needed update.
We managed to get both of the vehicles in the garage. We have way more room since purchased the shelves and fast track system.
Since it was so cold Monday, the snow didn't melt and school was canceled again Tuesday. I got up and watched the birds eat. They are so much fun to watch. I guess I'm getting old. 
Of course Lilly sat by the fire all day.
I was so glad we got snow and not ice! They dogs have had fun playing in it.
We also kept warm cuddling on the couch in front of the fire.
I started this puzzle last week. It FREAKING SUCKS!!! These pieces are ridiculous! It doesn't help that the entire puzzle is shade of brown with a little white. I think I am going to put it away and start another one. My grandpa gave me several puzzles of my grandmother's a couple of years ago. They all  have these crazy pieces!
I may get out another one and try it. we will see… If the weather does what they say, we will get another round of snow tomorrow.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
