January 1 – February 5, 2018
As I last wrote we had enjoyed a nice cruise and Christmas
but I guess the desire to relax some more wasn’t quite in our blood yet.
So SIT struck out on another home improvement adventure on
our Beach Bungalow! The “Florida Room” was in much needed help and since we had
some materials left over from repairing our ceiling we thought why not!
So the first step was for me to wash the ceiling and then
paint it which made the room look better already. Steve then tackled the job of
cutting the materials to cover the damaged paneling. Of course I had to prime
them first since we were going to paint the room the same color as the living
room.
Once he was done with that then I got to work on painting
all the walls and the trim. It looks 100% better than before and can now be
used as a nice place to sit and read or do my artwork or tackle a challenging
jigsaw puzzle.
Done!

Since we accomplished this little task, we rewarded
ourselves with a day of fishing. It wasn’t very successful in terms of catching
fish we could keep to enjoy for dinner, but it did provide me with catching
five different species in the time we were on the water. I caught a few more
than Steve did this time too. Although he will tell you it is because he is the
captain and has to do more than just fish. I have to admit it is true!
We got away for a round of golf too but not sure what we
were thinking. It was one of the windiest days we have played golf in but that
gave us a built in excuse!
Our shot wasn't that bad
Now one would think we were tired of home improvements, but
alas it is not true. We bit the bullet and tackled the master bath which had a
major floor problem. Steve was able to raise the level of the floor so it would
now be even with the floor in the bedroom and put down this wonderful flooring.
I tackled the shower pan and painting starting with the ceiling. We are now
enjoying a much nicer looking bathroom.
I think that is it for improvements for now although there
is more painting I need to do but it can wait. Time to enjoy the warmth of
Florida and lounge on the beach, fish, play golf, explore, and eat our fresh
tomatoes!
More to come from SIT so stay tuned!
