head bonker cabinet removal

This is what I did today... these are the after pictures..I still need to finish, caulk, paint etc...but I LOVE having that cabinet gone from the kitchen !! I am so NOT a makeup person so I did NOT need a vanity,but I can always use more storage..and this is the most unobtrusive place for it !!

I had to cut the cabinet down to fit under the corian counter..but I didn't want to mess up the front much so I cut it down from the top..it was a fun project !!

These are the before pictures

Merry Christmas from Sacramento Calif....at our eldest daughter's home...with 3 little boys to be amusing for us !!! It has been fun !!!!
The 2 year old is about as 2 as they come..and ssoooo BOY. The 4 month old is a little angel !!! The 4 year old is 4 going on 12...Our daughter and her husband are a very kind host and hostess ..I am on dadu's new laptop computer...
The ham just got put into the oven...we had cinnamon rolls this morning..thanks to our daughter and Pillsbury.... havin fun here ....

Today I got the rest of the cardboard into the trash...and some leaves and the last dead citrus branches into the green waste cans..and started on the evergreen stuff in the front yard that is a hedge and about a foot out onto the sidewalk...I will slowly get it off the sidewalk and it will look incredibly ugly..but it is a great barrier on a corner lot to keep people from cutting the corner...the slope up also helps with that from the other street side....then I escaped on a field trip to Lake Elsinore outlet stores until time to pick up dadu at the airport.

During the moving in process.

Both sofa beds and plenty of room. Dadu watching tv. The view from my little room

Sundays are crazy busy this month..we are in our ward choir singing next week...and we are practicing in a two stake choir for a program we are putting on in the Escondido theater of the performing arts...back to back performances Dec. 22nd...they sell out every year apparently..music, dance a Dickens thing etc...a radio theme this year...real musicians are in charge...half the time I don't have a clue what they are even saying...good thing there are alot of us.......it's good to hide in the group !!
I got curtains up in both ends of the great room that match..so it looks much warmer and planned.They are a solid brown woven polyester..love that good fabric by the bolt from
walmart I got at $1.00 a yard back when......Ross curtain rods for $12.99 for nice metal double rods was nice too................Bill figured out how to block the mechanism in my fabric lateral file cabinet that kept locking it on me....now I can get back to real life projects hopefully....
Saturday on the way home from Sam's Club I picked up a nice floral rug for my little room at a yard sale..it is 6'6"x7'7......for $25.oo..I talked em down from $45.00 they wanted.
Today I got my Christmas cards done and ready to mail...crock potted dinner so we could run in after church eat fast and get to the church for the Presidents' devotional before the 2 hour choir practice...every Sunday night this month until the performance...
The backyard is starting to look less like a jungle...I put strychnine tablets in several fresh gopher holes..hopefully that kills something...it looks like we were using them to rototill there are so many mounds !! I did get the packing paper piles thrown away and piles of stuff to the D.I. pod at the stake center..........always something....such adventures !!! Tomorrow we have elders to dinner ...Tues.evening I am picking up a new gal in the ward to take to the R.S. party at some one's house..she wasn't comfortable with the idea of going so I told her I would take her..actually she moved in the same time we did but she isn't putting on the brave front I am...but I am old and she is young and has more time to pussy foot around ..........have a swell day everyone !!!

internet finally made it to my house !!!

Hello world...........I am newly back online...today Dec. 1st..but I took dadu to work, went to the temple and then goofed off all day shopping and looking.....picked up dadu at work, came home...had dinner then went grocery shopping..so I just got on and it is almost bedtime...but HI !!!..........we did get moved into this " new to us " house on Nov. 9th...we are almost organized now..it is to the hanging things on walls stage...I have not organized my little sewing,craft,desk room yet....I have taken out several attack rose bushes bigger than the citrus trees in the back yard..I make sure my 4 green waste and recycler and trash barrels are full every trash day. Maybe in a year or so we will win and have things cleaned up !? We inherited alot of junk and an overgrown jungle yard...such cool challenges !! The roof is very steep peaked...I climbed on it so I could get to the the elm branches on the roof to cut them off !! I am probably getting too old to do that ..Fun times !!
