what i'm doing this week, last week and possibly next week!

So last week i decided to start on some home repairs! with the much needed encouragement from my mom and sisters I decided to re-due/re-finish our kitchen cabinets! So i bought a little hand sander, some paint, and other stuff and started at it!!! I took all front boards off, took all the hinges and handles off and started to sand away. I spent about 2 full days just sanding!! my hand literally turned into the claw hand!!! It was interesting to use the sander for years i had seen my dad use it, always wondered why he held it certain ways....now i know. And yes i am painting the cupboards black! but it is coming together so well!

So you can see what everything looked like before, I wanted to take a break from painting (cause after a couple hours my hand goes numb) and figured i'd post an up date on what i've been up to this week.
Spence has been telling some friends at school that i'm redoing our kitchen and they always look shocked..."youre letting your wife do what?" Luckily I have years of experience working as my dads right hand man/woman. Thanks to my dad I know how to do all types of manly stuff like: painting, using a saw, drill, hammer, etc, sheetrock, mud & tape, electrical outlets, you name it i can do it! thanks dad for always letting me be your helper, and learning so much from you!!
