Work In Progress Wednesday

Well, last week was a bit busy for me prepping for the worship and prayer concert at our church so I didn't get to update all the stuff we're getting done on the house. So, here we go!

First, Labor Day weekend was a really nice sale on Behr paint at Home Depot so after spending the weekend playing with the samples we got and then going back for more samples, we finally decided on a color for the family room, kitchen/dining room, living room and hallway. It was really hard to decide because well we don't really have any furniture to base our color choice off of. With the open floor plan we thought it was best to pick just one color and we can't wait to cover up the nasty burnt orange, mustard yellow and hunter green from the previous homeowner! Here is the color we picked... I'm soooo excited about it.
and we are sooooo close to having the driveway finished... Mark had sealed the driveway but it still has some cracks in it so we're going to have someone come out and do another coat just because it wasn't as easy has Mark thought to only have it 1/4" thick to prevent the cracking and he was afraid all his hard work would be destroyed by the winter weather if we didn't get it done before it got too cold. Here are some pics of Mark working hard to finish up the driveway!

and in progress

and while Mark was doing the driveway Moriah sat in the garage painting her table she made at the Kids workshop at Home Depot
and a phone picture of Isaac making his football stand from earlier that morning, we even brought his football along with us
and then came Labor Day and Mark ended up Laboring more than he had planned... which I guess is the case with plumbing... our bathroom faucet always struggled to drain since we moved in and we had changed the faucet but never installed the new drain that went with the faucet so thinking it would just be a matter of cleaning out the trap ended up being much more... we had to put in the new drain and of course that never goes as planned either because Mark had to go to the hardware store twice to get a few extra things to make it all fit back together...

Wanna see the old nasty drain?
no wonder it took so long for water to drain from the sink, EWWWWWWW!

Not sure I'll have much to report next week since we have another busy weekend ahead of us, but maybe I'll find something new to report :)

Happy Hump Day!
