Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification is in the Works

By coop on Sunday, November 18, 2018

Yep. My crappy indoor cycling instructor at LA Fitness has motivated me to do it. I figure I can’t do any worse. The bar is not set very high. I completed my CPR certification last week at GCC. Thanks, Stephanie. Great class. That was 2 and a half hours well spent blowing air and pumping …

It’s Time for Bed

By coop on Sunday, November 11, 2018

Yep. Bed time. Now that the main living space has been renovated, it’s time to get the bedrooms together so we can have guests. The refinished wall bed is installed, a hand-me-down full bed with mattress set is set up, and the queen refinishing project is almost complete. The only thing missing was bedding and …

Adding a Pop of Color – Designing is Not My Thing

By coop on Saturday, October 20, 2018

As I near the completion of the major renovation projects, it’s time to start thinking about adding a pop of color to the space. At the moment it looks like I merely replaced all the drab brown with dreary gray. The walls are various shades of gray paint, gray wood, grey tile, and the flooring …

Running Out of Supplies Is Par For The Course For Me

By coop on Thursday, October 11, 2018

I’m STILL doing renovations up at the cabin, but I’m close to being finish. Yay! It’s taking so long because my math skills are lacking, and I keep running out of things I need to finish. A few weeks ago it was ceiling tiles, then mortar for the fireplace tile. Last week it was the …

Working Out is My New Jam

By coop on Friday, October 5, 2018

When I was nearing fifty three years ago, I had a minor panic attack. I was out of shape and a little over weight. I wasn’t obese by any means, but I weighed the most I’d ever weighed in my life and my knees felt like they belonged to a 70 year old woman. I …

Self Built Wall Bed Makes a Come Back

By coop on Wednesday, October 3, 2018

Twenty years ago I signed up for a woodworking class through Rio Salado so that I could build a Murphy bed. I had just purchased a house in central Phoenix, and I just had to have a wall bed. However, I didn’t want to pay thousands of dollars to buy one, so I was going …

Paint Sprayer Disaster Followed by Success

By coop on Tuesday, October 2, 2018

After I finished the ceiling tiles last week, I was very excited to get the ceilings painted. I figured this task wouldn’t be too bad considering I already own a paint sprayer that I’ve only used once over 4 years ago. Well, I should have known that merely thinking this would be an easy task …

Foam Ceiling Tiles to the Rescue

By coop on Wednesday, September 26, 2018

When I started renovating the Happy Jack cabin, one of the first things I wanted to do was remove the outdated popcorn ceilings that are in every room. That plan was quickly changed to removing the popcorn in the main living spaces only. And then after a week of struggling to do even one room, …

Chillin’ in Happy Jack

By coop on Thursday, September 13, 2018

Instead of hard labor up in Happy Jack this past weekend, we decided to just chill and enjoy the cool temps. No work for us although I hired a contractor to remove some tile in the kitchen. We had our first guests, and they had to camp out in their Tab trailer in the front …
