I'm still here

You may think that I have given up on this blog thing, (no post for a long time.)  But, I am still here, I just haven't been doing things that are blog worthy.  Nobody wants to see picture after picture of me crouched over (ick) attaching what seems like miles of baseboards. But the baseboards in the basement are almost finished. YEA!!! Hopefully this week.  Then on to some more fun projects.  Like hanging my oldest daughters bed from the ceiling.

I Hate Dust!!

Well the dry wallers are back for the third attempt.  The dry wall repair from the poo juice overflow cracked a little so they are back fixing that and creating a nuclear dust cloud in my house.  But I can't complain too much, he is also toughing up all the little scratches we've put in the walls bringing in the 16ft baseboards.  Thank You!

Chalk board windows




How to:
1.  remove glass
2.  seal flaky paint with stain
3.  To make the chalk board I used hardboard.  Hardboard is smooth on one side and rough on the other.  It is fairly thin. I used a jigsaw to cut it to size, the edges are hidden and I don't have a table saw.
4.  I used spray chalk board paint in a can, I also primed the hardboard with spray primer.
5.  I placed the chalkboard in the window frame then ran a bead of hot glue behind chalk board  to secure in place.
6.  add vinyl

Sorry I don't have better pics, computer issues.
