Looking good, Murlo!

I haven't done too much this year besides general maintenance and up-keep, but I did rip out my front bushes and brick garden surrounds this spring and replaced them with new bushes (nice looking ones that flower, including two rose bushes) and wooden post boarders.

I bought an automatic robot vacuum which is freakin' badass! Bobsweep...basically Roomba's competitor.

I was also at Home Depot last night to pick out new kitchen appliances so I will be ordering those today. GE Adora-series in slate; french door fridge, dishwasher, gas range, and microwave.

Next up will be new kitchen counters and kitchen bathroom vanity set. I don't know exactly what I want yet, but I do know for the center island I'm going to have a large wooden cutting board made to act as the counter top.

appliances look nice and fancy!

Butcher block looks really cool when it is new, IMO the downside is it looks kinda meh after it has been used a few years if it hasn't been sanded and refinished...

Butcher block, thank you, that's the term I was looking for. You make a great point too, that is something I'm going to need to look into and think about.

Something I wanted to try for a long time. Flashed the walls and used a waterproof membrane before I epoxied the floor. Now I can wash walls down and wash vehicles in my garage. This is just the paint booth portion of my garage and now I am gonna be finishing the other side. Kinda neat so thought I would share.

^Looks good, cool idea! I love the thought of being able to wash a car indoors.

I just got all the appliances ordered; American Airlines had a deal going on through their online shopping mall that got me 3 miles per $1 spent using my AA credit card...that basically got me enough miles from this one transaction for a one-way flight. Not a bad extra perk :)

Indeed. I wanted something nice, big, etc. Seems like I'm always running out of fridge/freezer room. The dual ice makers will be really nice to have too. Plus LED's and TURBO Cool...can't go wrong with those kinds of buzz words! :lol:
