project dream house week 9 :)

the week has been both extra fun and stressful (pocket-wise) for us.:) we've made a lot of decisions for the house and a number of major purchases too (pocket says ouch! again). we wanted so many things for our dream house so mr. grumpy and i did some serious accounting part 3 (or more aptly called a "reality check")  to keep us on track with our budget.:) at least now we know the things that we can have for the house and the many, many things that we should let go.:) dear excel, you really are a big help!:)


the house now has trusses for the roof framing, the interior and parts of the exterior walls are now plastered and some of it are painted with first coat. super bilis ng progress that we could hardly keep up! i had to ask our contractor to give us a timeline for things that we need to provide them with, otherwise, we might end up panic buying.heehee!:D he gave us the option to supply some of the materials, which is a plus for us since we could look for materials that fit our aesthetics and most of all, our budget.:)

my weekly update is never complete without my side kwento. the funny things i randomly capture with my camera. heehee!:)

one step, two step! the backsweep boys!  hahaha!:)

uhm, what are we looking at?

part of week 9 was picking and buying some stuff for the house. we're also after the sale! most of the items we checked out had price increase on May 1 which was why we had to decide fast! who knew that choosing the "perfect" water closet was such a dilemma! that's probably why mr. grumpy was having profound discussions with the water closet. haha!:)

daddy grumpy's treat for the very hardworking workers :)

the healthy sitaw and ang humahabol na alugbati :) 

when bored, talk to a tree! hehe!:)

i shall end my week 9 update with mr. grumpy's hair flip! hahaha!:)
