Girl with the Pink Toolbelt

Guys!  I have a fence!  Oh my god you don't even know what I'm feeling right now.  I HAVE A FENCE!  Man, this was a long time coming and a long, drawn out, bullshit process that I'm going to detail for you along with some pretty fence pictures at the end.  So if you want to read how my HOA is fucking terrible, continue on.  If not, just scroll to the bottom for pictures of MY NEW FENCE!!!!  OK, so I'm going to start of with two things.  One- I don't like being told 'No' and two- I don't like not getting my way.  Let that sink in.  If you can understand those two concepts, we'll get just along fine.  But if you can't, we'll have issues eventually.  Such is the case with my HOA, aka Demon Spawn.  So I started this process for a fence last May.  As in a year ago, May.  Not last month.  I got the info from my HOA on what was needed to apply for a fence, then went to the Town for my permit.  When talki...

Quick post for you on this Father's Day!  I kind of gave you a sneak peek of the latest project at the end of the sunroom reveal. I picked up a fence panel from Menards a few weekends ago.  It's 6 ft high and 8 ft wide.  You can see it through the windows.  I am using it more as a privacy panel since behind it is the curve of the street and everyone going by just stares into my yard.  Sometimes a girl just wants to sit outside topless without all of her neighbors gawking at her.  Am I right? Well I was driving to pick up my new patio set and thinking about finding some sort of privacy panel and I saw this image. Exactly like what I wanted.  I saw a fence panel in Menards flyer that was on-sale.  Score for only having to DIY half of this project.  After I picked up the patio set, I went and grabbed the panel.  I've had it propped up between one of the couches and some planter boxes ever since.  Until this weekend. I picke...

Y'all.  It only took 9 months but I'm pretty sure the sunroom is finished!  I mean, except for the decorating part- which I'm super excited to be able to start putting all the cute stuff I've bought in there!  Like a fireplace!  But that's for another day.  I know, I'm such a tease. So last we talked about the sunroom, the walls were up and I was going to start on casing and trimming the windows.  This is what it looked like. See the inside of the windows?  Still the exposed 2 X 4's.  See the top of the walls?  You can see how uneven the ceiling is.  See the bottom of the walls?  You can see how uneven the floor is.  Well, they are still uneven but at least I made them look slightly less uneven.  But first, windows. They were really starting to look good once I got the insides all trimmed out.  Then came casing them. Don't they look like real windows now?  Like a professional did them....
