DIY Week 13

DIY Week 13

This Week:

This week I unfortunately was extremely busy with school (2 AP Exams), swim (CIF prelims and finals), and family (Mother's day). Because of all of these things, I didn't have time to go with Sarah to go to Home Depot and look at flooring, talk about getting it paid for by home depot, and negotiating. I know that we have to get a few coaches to fill out forms if we want to offset the cost of the flooring or else it will be around $300. It was good that she could go and look at what the next step will be. 

Since I couldn't make it, I researched online what the cheapest prices would be for couch covers, curtains, rods, and command strip hangers for pictures. It looks like our best bet will be Big Lots. Luckily we have one right down the street! Again, these things will cost money but I know that our coaches might donate and if we get the flooring paid for, then we will have extra money in our budget to buy these items. 

Big Lots!

Next Week:

Next week we will need to bring in the T.V., DVD player, and furniture we have so far. We can also buy the items from Big Lots, hang the pictures back up, put up curtains, re-hang the white board, and put a couch cover on the old couch. :) 

The hardest parts about the project so far are finding time on the weekends to take a chunk of time to work and having enough money to make it happen.
