More plastic in the wall

I removed the medicine cabinet in the bathroom because it was old and gross and had three panels, which meant 3 small mirrors instead of a decent sized one.

Per normal, whoever installed this mirror decided the best way to install the mirror would be to shove plastic bags and plastic painting drop cloths in the wall beside it and, you guessed it, caulk around it. There were at least 3 drop clothes, and they did have paint on them in case you were wondering. They put some small strips of drywall around the mirror to fill in some of the gaps, but the whole thing was another shoddy job. 

My bathroom has been a really slow remodel. Progress update - I'll post a/b putting in drywall where the mirror used to be, but I've also acquired a black granite counter top, nice faucet, and sink cabinet is in progress of being built!

Hole in the wall... no more plastic bags. Odd cement stuff next to the partial stud

Valentine's Day Find

I came down with a killer cold on Friday and even though I had rested all weekend, I felt worse and stayed home from work on Monday. I decided that maybe a little more movement would help so I took a trip to the grocery store to get some brothy soup. Since the weather was so beautiful on that Valentine's Day and I thought the fresh air would do me some good, I swung by Home Depot to pick up some seeds to start seedlings for my garden. [I'll post more on the seedlings later.] As I was in the process of planting the seeds, my dog was trying to get me to play with him. Now... his normal M.O. for play time is (1) get toy (2) place toy on owner (3) stand back and stare/prance/whine until she throws toy. Well, I could tell that the item rolling down my back was not his tennis ball and lo-and-behold! it was a teletubby!

Nothing says Valentine's Day like a dirty teletubby. Thanks, Dog!
