Good news: After 3-4 months of no microwave, we now have a new one!! This is extremely exciting--now when I'm gone for speech and other things we can actually reheat food and eat before 8:30 at night!
Bad News: We found water in the light fixture in the family room...it came from the sink in the kitchen, where the disposal apparently had a leak.
Good News: Vince took out a ton of ceiling drywall down there--some of it was damaged from the water. We ended up with an 8x8 foot square hole in the ceiling--I know it was kind of bad news to me too and I was a little perturbed until he "suggested" we could add some recessed lighting in that room. Which was a great idea! So now we have 6 new can lights and some new ceiling drywall in the family room and Vince and I were excited to discover the room looks twice as big now!
Bad News: Our plan was to live without a garbage disposal for the forseeable future....I'll admit that I was a little worried to fix it because then I just knew something else would break, but it turns out that the disposal had a major flaw and that water was leaking from it even when we weren't using it.
Good News: We have a new disposal!
I hope nothing else breaks, but I must say it is a little fun to fix things and make them better than they were to begin with! Maybe in a week or so I will post some pictures of that room and the kitchen table I refinished! I've almost finished refinishing a buffet/dresser for our living room and I may post pictures of that too--I'm really excited about it. When the dresser is completely finished I'll refinish the benches in the kitchen. We also found a sofa and loveseat on the classifieds for $35. They're a floral design and don't quite match our room, but I've been learning about how to make custom slipcovers and I think I'm going to do that this summer. I'm developing a love for remaking/refinishing furniture and stuff. I have a few other projects I'm working on, but it's taking me longer than I'd like to finish them. I'll have Eva post pictures...

Jeesh! When it rains it pours! Glad that it turned out well. I love doing furniture, too. Can't wait to see your projects!!
Why can't you live closer to me? I totally need someone to refinish/slipcover things with. I'm not motivated enough to do it by myself unless I can use spraypaint.
