The exterior of the house improved this week by adding the recessed lights on the deck. It looks pretty driving up to the house now.
W has had a rough week of it, and at this point he only has 7 working fingers. He broke his pinky finger in the palm of his hand, and Sunday, he sliced his thumb very thoroughly. It was a good test of my first aid skills and stomach. We got through it without a trip to the emergency room though.
In spite of these setbacks, we managed to frame and hang a door together. It was my first time using power tools, and it was fun! I managed to use the router to create mortise holes for the hinges (all with W's guidance of course). This being our first time hanging an antique door, we learned a few things, but all in all I think it looks pretty good!
Also, we're very proud to annouce that in addition to planning a home renovation, we're also planning for another big change. Yep, I'm pregnant! Today begins my 4th month, with an expected due date of 6/1. Some of you may know that's just one day off of my sister's birthday. Adding to that irony is that she got married on my birthday. We've always been close, and I take this as some sort of promising sign for good times ahead for both of us.
Ok, I'm getting kicked out of our hot spot, so signing off for now! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
