Okay, I promise to try to get some more up-to-date pics to post tomorrow ... but, in the meantime, here's some of what we've been up to:
The Bad:
No, really, I didn't want to just un-screw that old hardware. I much preferred using a razor blade to slice through 8 layers of paint (and I'm especially curious about YOU, oh Chooser of Acid-Trip Green) ...
The Good:
We both have a place to park;
We've removed the Gross/Tragic medicine cabinet from *the bathroom
(*awaiting further destruction)
the Ugly Kitchen Cabinets being carted outside. That's our handyman -- small in stature, but 18-feet tall in awesomeness.
Our shiny new outdoor light fixtures. They're replacing the Fuctard-Installed Non-Outdoor ones that our predecessors provided. Sadly, all the accompanying rust has been sacrificed on the alter of "WTF?!?!"
The Ugly:
Have you been paying attention?! ...
Good stuff to follow, as soon as I'm not too distracted to remember I need to take pics before dark.

i had 6 layers 3 of wallpaper 3 of paint (seafoam, lime and peach) under my white walls of my kitchen... I can't explain it either.
But!! when I get home today (tomorrow?) I will look, I have a product that saved me a lot of work, and you just spray it on, let it sit, and the paint comes off much nicer.
ps - I keep seeing all this work in the kitchen.. what's up with that? I thought your speciality was "reservations?"
tell me you aren't REALLY learning to cook...
@~Samantha: 2 things:
1) I still want the kitchen to be pretty;
2) I recommend marrying a man who's lived for years on hot dogs, ramen & take-out. Context = everything.
To be fair, the Ms., against all odds, is actually an excellent chef!
Remember, despite my raw talent for boiling hot dogs and ramen (not at the same time... usually), I have worked at a pretty top-notch restaurant, and I know my food. The UB's cooking is awesome!
Except for that time that she asked me if I liked olives, I said "no," and she then served me a dish composed roughly 1/2 of olives. Listening ftl.
