Basil, updated pictures at 10 weeks!
Ok, since I have people asking, here are some updated pics of Basil. He is a little over 10 weeks in the pictures, 11 in the video.
He is almost housebroken, and will sit, lay down, and give up a toy (or whatever he has picked up from the floor) on command. We have just started teaching him to behave when on a leash. He is a really good puppy, and has LOTS of energy.
New Side Door with super awesome amazing screen door…
So my husband and my brother in law just installed a new side door last week, and I wasn’t going to post about it until it was all done, but I love it and I want to share
Here is the new door. The inside door is going to be painted blue. I was going to paint the screen door, but I found out that you can’t because of its coating, bummer.
There are some additional shots on my flickr page
(Shout out to Dwayne who made it all possible)
Also, the screen door is super cool (if you haven’t guessed from the post title) it has a screen that retracts up into the door.
It is called Easy Vent. The door is from Larson, and we bought it from Lowe’s. Both doors and all the extra stuff (locks, foam, wood) cost us about $500 bucks, 153 for the entry door, 199 for the (super cool) screen door.
I love this screen door so much I made a video of it in action…
I may be lame, but this door is not.
Oh the humanity!
Ok, maybe it is a little dramatic to compare my bathroom renovation to the disaster of the Hindenburg. But just a little. The painting of the pepto pink has made it a bit better, and my handy husband hung some glass shelves I found at Target for 20 bucks each.
So there’s progress.
I am having trouble with choosing the floor. The one thing I liked (see earlier post) was WAY to expensive (it would be about 400 to do our tiny 27 sq ft) So I am going with a cheaper option from Lowe’s and mixing in a few of the expensive glass tiles. Picture more of the blue tiles throughout the beige….
The light tile is $2.68 a sq foot at Lowe’s, and the glass is about $20 a sq foot. I think I will need approximately 2 of the glass sheets to put into the light ones (thats 3 glass tiles in every sheet) Here is a close up of the glass…
This will cost about $125 to do, which is better for my husband and (my) mental health. What do you think?
