My latest project

I have been refinishing my bathtub so that it was usable. The first picture is how it started. You can see the paint and caulk shavings in the tub after I had scraped and scrubbed that one little corner. You can also tell the rotting going on under the old caulking and the rotting overflow cover.

These are after I had already removed most of the caulking and had stripped the thing twice already.

These last pictures are after 5 strippings (by hand, I might add - after finishing the 5th stripping I was cleaning things up in the bathroom and found 3 steel wool pads for my little sander...UNBELIEVABLE) and then the priming, painting and caulking. This is after 1 1/2 weeks of work and waiting for things to cure...

I can't believe it's finally finished!

Blue and Gold

Nico had his Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet last night and he was quite excited to win third place in the cake decorating contest. He won a canteen (the theme was "Camp with a Scout") and won't put it down! We had a great time creating the cake - which was all his idea. Everything had to be edible per his instructions...

A Hike in the Park

A couple of weeks ago Nico said he wanted to go hiking so we went to the San Angelo State Park for a few hours. Now that I have internet hooked back up I can share a few pictures of the beautiful plant life in San Angelo...enjoy!

THE HOUSE

As many of you know, I have moved. It's a dump, but a great chance to use my remodeling skills (stop laughing). Here are some pictures of the place.
