New TownHouse Renovation - Day 36-37 (4.1-4.2.06)
Saturday and Sunday.
Our first full weekend in the new place. We sleep in.
Not much happening here. Rena works on getting the bedroom ready, I attempt to make some sense of the downstairs. We are slowly putting things away, breaking up boxes..etc..
Rena spends some quality time painting the hallways, while I work on getting the kitchen ready for cabinet doors. We are really stuck at this point. We can't put anything away because we have no countertop or doors in the kitchen. So all of those boxes are stacked in the living room/dining room.
Sunday: Rena is over at her moms again cooking up a storm for the wedding. I stay home and rearrange the garage yet again. I end up hanging the old cabinets from the kitchen down there just to get them out of the way.
We end up going out exploring both days for food. We find that right around the corner and up towards the mountains there is a neat little area with some cool old restaurants. This area (Alta Dena) has a little place called "The Dutchoven Bakery" that has some awesome breakfast food and the same cookies that Rena used to get at some Indianapolis bakery when she was a kid. She loves the things and won't shut her yap about them. But its kind of cute to see her get so excited about something like that, even if it does cause an increase in overall mouth yappage. Let the Tony Slapping Begin!!
Note: Still no pictures. Rena won't let me take any of the house being in shambles. I have a bunch from the last week (about 3 weeks after the date of this post) that I will post tonight.
