So if you’re thinking of taking on the challenge of adding some built-ins to your home, I say go for it!Let’s step back in time together to three and a half years ago when we moved in.

So after harping on that for a good 5 months, we finally got around to it this Fall.Boy did we ever get around to it.. Chris called the dumpster rental company and I laughed so hard when this thing was dropped off in our driveway the next morning.

It’s the size of our whole garage!Chris decided he would just get the biggest one just because “Why not?” and that way if we decided to demo the bathroom too that week, we’d have more than enough room.. There’s no way a family of 3.5 could fill that thing in a week even if they demo’d 7 bathrooms right?.My friends, we filled it.

To the gills.. I’m hugely embarrassed, don’t you worry..But also, so so relieved..

The cost of the dumpster rental was $350 plus another $50 for each ton of weight we put into it.

So I guess we threw out 2 tons of stuff.So many ideas right now….

paint the fire pit?put in a brick surround?

What about stone?Should I put in some flower beds or is just mowing down the creek weeds enough?.
