A New Project

The cul-de-sac is too quiet this time of year. We hardly ever see the neighbors during the month of January. Everyone pulls into their garage and closes the door and they are in for the night. So I'm thinking we've got to start something......ANYTHING because I'm bored!
I've got an acute case of "cabin fever" and so after spending way too many hours reading amazing before and after decorating blogs, I feel the need to jump on the "board and batten" band wagon! What I thought would be a simple project turns into a $300 Lowe's shopping trip and I didn't even buy the paint yet. When I showed my husband all the tutorials for this project his first words were"we don't have the right tools". My response "how much can a nail gun really cost ?"
Let me tell you people......too damn much!

So here he is with a new tool!

Can't wait to see how this works!

Sure would be nice to own a truck when you buy 8' pieces of lumber and need to bring them home! We had to leave the kids at home for this shopping trip.

Here is the wall that we will attempt to transform. We are starting with this wall and then will move upstairs to do an entire room. I am ready to start today, husband not so much. Did I mention that he and I don't really work together well on projects. We will not be starting our own company any time soon! This should be fun........
