Does anyone have any weekend project updates?

We are still finishing up the same few projects. I loaded up my new pantry closet, still need to give the door one more coat.
Rich finished installing the new base molding in the guest room (we put down a new wood floor in there), but he still has a little more touch up to do.
I swapped out our summer/fall clothes & freecycled 5 bags of stuff we don't wear yesterday.
Took some of the fall decorations out, still have more to do.
I'll post pics later of the pantry & the guest room.

What did you guys works on?

We packed. And packed some more. Chat Icon

We have been throwing out/donating SO much stuff over the past month and I don't even think we're halfway done. Chat Icon

Nothing this weekend (we were in Boston, which was killing my DH because he would have rather been working on the house)...

But the landscapers are here working on our new patio! Chat Icon They're regrading and putting down recycled concrete before they set the form for the concrete slab.

ETA: we did come up with a plan for our home audio system and ordered the amplifier and some speakers. I'm pysched about that! Chat Icon

I BOUGHT all sorts of stuff on line last week and I wanted to paint the 'spare' room with the colors in the new comforter I ordered, but it didn't come yet so I did nothing Chat Icon I’m so used to everything coming in like a day, I was shocked that it didn’t come.

lol We were in Charleston and DH was dying b/c we "lost a weekend".

After we ripped down 2 of the 4 LR walls and put up the insulation...the contractor came to rock and install the window. It's amazing how different the room looks.

Re: Does anyone have any weekend project updates?

Today (Monday) was actually the end of our weekend so we got a little extra done.
- Closing was Friday
- Yard Sale on Saturday at old house to get rid of old stuff we didn't want to move with
- Moved all of our stuff out of the old house
- Had Alarm System Installed
- Had Fence installed
- Keith started foundation for shed
- Made lots of Lowe's purchases
- Put up Mailbox
- Had cable, internet and phone changed over
- Submitted a ton of change of address requests
- Unpacked entire kitchen

I really feel like everything above did nothing to even put a dent in everything that needs done here. I feel like 3 days went by and I did nothing. AHHHHHH!!!!!
