We finally have a Peep Hole!

WOW!! 3 post in one day! HA HA! I am on a role.

When we first moved in to our home, we didn't have a peep hole and we even had a guy come by and offered to install one for $75 dollars!! SMH! We passed. So last week, we had a friend tell us that her husband installed their peep hole for $5 AND In 10 MINUTES! We had to do this!

Mr. B headed off to Lowe's and picked us up one for $5.22 and was done in under 10 minutes indeed. We are so happy that we didn't pay that guy for something that was so easy to do.


This is the one we got- Gatehouse Oil-Rubbed Bronze Door Viewer:

Instructions on how we installed our Peep Hole:
  1. Locate the 9/16 drill bit. This is the size that they said you would need on the Peep hole package. You want to make sure that the drill works for the door that you have. So you may need to adjust the size to your needs.
  2. Locate where you want the hole placed on your door and mark it with a pencil.
  3. Drill a hole completely through from the inside
  4. Clean out all of the sand dust
  5. Separate the Peep Hole
  6. Insert the front end first through the hole and then the back.
  7. Then just screw it in until it is secure
  8. You are now DONE!

I hope that you like and that you will try this if you don't have a Peep Hole currently.

Checks off of the "Honey Do" List :-)

Good Evening Everyone! To tell you a little bit more about myself, I teach engineering classes part time and you may end up seeing some things from that part of my life! HA! Interesting times.

My husband and I just purchased our first home and we so love it! But there are so many things that I want to change! :-D So far off of the "Honey Do" List, I have worried my husband enough   convinced Mr. B to change out the sink faucet, install towel storage, put together the pantry, to mount 2 of our TVs, and to install the delta shower heads that I got from Sam's Club for $29.98 each!!!! SCORE! Did I mention that all of this has been done in the last 3 weeks! That is just how I roll! LOL!

Surprisingly, he has said that we will help me with most of the projects!! **gasps** So I will work on doing a better job of documenting the process of our many projects to come. But of course we have pictures of all the things that we have done so far. You like how I said we huh... LOL!! What...I was there to help hold things for him. :-)

This Faucet took about 1.5 days to get out and replace!! Mr. B was SOO.. Happy! LOL!!
The faucet is also a delta faucet.




The pantry that we got from Big Lots! Love it!



 The awesome shower heads that was $29.98!
