Kentucky has been getting quite a bit of rain lately from Hurricane Ida but that has not stopped any progression on the farm. Due to all the rain it made the hill up to the chicken coop very slick and my mom slid down it and fell. Luckily, she didn’t break a hip or anything just a bit sore, and probably a bruised ego. My dad decided it was time to put in some rock steps up the hill to make it easier to go up especially when the ground is slick.
My dad and Hunter put in some more electric. They put in one at the coffee bar nook, and one in the living room to put in the big window unit that has heat and AC to use the heat for the winter time if needed. Eventually we will be putting in mini splits throughout the house but we will need to save up for them. We want to stay out of debt as we work on the house so we will be doing little by little. It will slowly but surely get done.
I have been tormenting Hunter and my dad with getting measurements for the upstairs so I can work on the layout of the bathroom. Chad stopped to get fuel on his way home from work the other day and saw an antique dresser that was made into a vanity, we contacted them and went to pick it up along with a few other items. It was in need of lots of love and I have been working on it. I sanded it yesterday without a mask on and I was regretting that last night and today. My allergies are very unhappy, but I will still try to work on it.
I also tried to deep clean the handles on it but I did not like the look when they were cleaned up. I found a YouTube video about how to clean them. You take a 1:1 ratio of water and white vinegar, pour into a pot with the handles and bring to boil. You boil for 20-30 minute, take out and scrub the remaining gunk off. They cleaned up pretty good, but I just wasn’t a fan. We ended up on Amazon looking for new handles and found some cute ones. I can’t wait for them to come in. The drawers are just fronts since there is plumbing behind them. The bottom drawer we plan to put hinges on so if plumbing access is needed, we will have a way to access it.
