Moved in!

This past weekend we finally moved into our new place! Last week we were trying to get as much done as possible so that we could move in and it was not easy. We also had a visit from a friend we have not seen in a while and it was nice to have a fresh face around. Now that we are moved in we still have to finish the dining room and kitchen which will be done soon. There is also the laundry room and other bathroom but I think we are going to wait a bit before trying to finish those-give everyone a breather.

One of the things I have shown below in the pictures is the process of how we textured our walls. This really covers imperfections on walls (which we had many). This method is using regular tissue paper (like what you would use when wrapping a gift), and paint. We love the look and are so happy how much imperfections it covered.

We also start our job this week, training and setting up. I also have pictures of our new work home below. We got to go out to the site yesterday and look at the trailer.

Just so you all know we do not at the moment have internet at our house but do on our phone so we can check our email and that’s about it, so forgive us if it’s hard to reach us. We would like to skype/gmail video chat with anyone who can, so just email us so we can set something up.  

For all of you in Guam we miss you guys a lot and hope to hear from you soon. Until next time………

this part is next

moving in

tissue paper process- need paint for your wall (it takes the amount of two coats so makes sure you have enough, rollers and tissue paper). 

take your sheets of paper like this and scrunch them into balls as see below

undo the balls and layover something as here. you then paint a square about size of tissue paper, then place your piece of paper on wall and smooth but also make your wrinkles - can make it more or less wrinkly. then you roll over it again with paint (so basically your putting 2 coats of paint on the wall). make sure you put plenty of paint on the wall since the paper will soak some up. once dry check over walls and touch up with paint, you wont see the brush marks from touch ups.
