We caught a groundhog!! I’m calling him Eugene. We are taking him to a park to drop him off. We put the Havahart trap out last night and he was in there this morning. Based on how small this guy is, I think we have a whole groundhog family under our sunroom. View high resolution

We decided to use the liquid deer deterrent rather than the fencing, mainly because the fencing looked super white trash. So fun fact: the liquid deer deterrent they sell at HD is made of putrefied eggs and garlic. And it legit smells like post-bender vomit.

We got everything planted. Now we’re off to Home Deeps to get some deer fencing. I hope some of these plants make it in the wild after growing in the apartment for all this time. View high resolution

Tony had a bit of a hissy fit today when the spray foam insulation wasn’t operating properly. So while he huffed out and mowed the lawn, I fixed the problem and sprayed the wall myself, LIKE A BOSS. Then I went to a wedding shower where I knew almost no one and made a bunch of friends and had an awesome time, also LIKE A BOSS. View high resolution

Finished floor. I love it. The streaks seen in the background tiles are just left over haze from the grout, not part of the tile. View high resolution

Here is the illuminated family room. I think it looks fine—we have them all on dimmers, the 8 fixtures are on three separate switches (i.e., they make up three separate zones), and they’re CFLs so they don’t get very hot, but Tony still wants to consult an interior designer. *sigh* View high resolution

After a two week hiatus we were back in the sh*t again today. In the two week break, I realized that our project wasn’t moving forward because we hadn’t chosen a sink/vanity for the bathroom, which prevented us from finishing the tile there, which prevented us from grouting the rest of the tile, which prevented us from installing cabinets, and so forth and so on until the end of time. So I was all “eff this sh*t, I am finding a god damned sink this effing weekend!!” And so I did. I found this granite vanity top at Lowe’s. It’s not earth shattering, but it’s an effing vanity sink for god’s sake and also I’m pretty sure there’s a line with vanity sinks, and one you pass that line, you’re just a rich dbag trying to show off to your guests, who are probably just as boring as you. I’m going to have Greg make a vanity to conceal our S-trap piping and to provide some storage. I also promised Greg I would pick up the grout, so Diana (mother in law) and I visited my Chris (BFF not really he’s just some dude) at Avalon Carpet and Tile and got a sweet deal on the grout and an additive that prevents staining/eliminates the need for sealing grout. I didn’t even know that sealing grout was a thing people did, we never did it before when we did tile. You live and learn. Then you die. So anyways today we were doing a lot of shopping activities, then when we got back we moved a bunch of crap from the dining room so we could prep the dining room walls for painting, while Tony worked on getting all the electric in the family room all hooked up. But the dust from the sanding got Tony’s migraines going, so we called it a day, went back to our apartment, and watched White Chicks. I always marvel at how much the Wayans brothers look like aliens when dressed as the titular characters. View high resolution
