Today we are setting up the new fish pond so we can let it get settled before we move some fish :)
We will also be painting the dining room
See I told you before that weeping cherry tree was going to have to come out, but that's down the road, all those privet's along the house will also be coming out 'later"
because today it's all about getting the pond level and filling with water, I will be adding rock around it too at a later date
there's that blasted hand railing again, I really don't like it, but hubby has spoken on that subject, so I will be good LOL
there we go, this is the view I will get of the pond out the big front window and yes I like it.
also moved more bedding plants and some planters and benches from the old house, had to decorate the front stoop a little bit even though we don't live here yet!!
here we go, photo of the before in the dining room, remember that UFO looking light that you can pull down or let it retract back up, weird but haven't replaced it, we will do that after we move in, however, when it came time to clean and paint this room, well let's just say that everything was removed from the room EXCEPT that cuckoo clock on the wall, and I know her son sent it over here from Germany while he was in the war, soooo, you can bet your britches I was NOT wanting to mess with that!!, so HA HA have you ever tried to clean and paint around one of them suckers? Well let me tell you, it's not easy, but I did manage to take it down long enough for the kidders to paint behind it! and sneak it back up on the wall ;)
THAT was a harrowing experience, so afraid I would break it!!
can you guess if they look guilty or not? HA no they are just sick of getting their photo taken!
the new color is called "Mark Twain House Olive"
it will be getting another coat of paint and we will need to finish up the ceiling paint trim, but it's coming along, in a few weeks we will be moving in :0) YAY!!!!!
