Well we hurt ourselves, is what we did. Yes, people. Rotator cuff injuries aren’t just for athletes anymore. We had to put the wiimotes down. Then we thought hey, we have this whole old house thing going. Why don’t we do something with that?
So over the weekend we bought all the lumber we’ll need for the paneling and plate rail in the dining room. Then we proceeded to measure, cut and sand all the stiles and moulding. Not bad, eh?
We also put up six paint swatches, rejected them all, then decided to go a completely different direction that will no doubt require at least six more swatches.
This weekend we’ll get the panels cut, installed, and photo-proof taken. Maybe we’ll get some plaster repair done here and there if we’re lucky.
How ya like them apples, Mr. Fancy Nintendo Machine?!

project killer
Meet the nemesis of all house projects. The Nintendo Wii. Yes, it’s just that awesome. We are crazy. We stood in line at Circuit City in the freezing cold fog and rain on the slim hope that they’d get a shipment of consoles. We were number two in line. They got nine. You’d have thought we won the lottery.
We play CONSTANTLY. We played so much the first weekend we got it that we were too sore to DIY. Later that week, I made my shoulder so sore with Wii tennis that I couldn’t put our stick-shift in reverse. It was sad. I really have no idea when we’ll start working on the house again. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe when we’re both “professional level” (according to the Wii ranking system) at all fake sports. You never can tell.
