The Nugget: Survival!!

By Mandi 11/06/2014

Hey guys!! Just wanted to pop in and let you know that we made the crazy deadline! The Nugs is 93% completed and in Salt Lake for Pinners!!

The drive up was a puckerfest to say the least. I don’t think I exhaled completely until we stopped about 2 hours in and I checked to see how everything (mostly the tile) was doing. I did a jig/exhale/hallelujah shout right there in the gas station parking lot when it was all intact.

I learned a ton about exterior painting that I cant wait to share with you (good, and heartbreaking of course).

We haven’t had a chance to take it to a weigh station to find out the total weight yet, but it pulled like a dream. Court said that felt really tight. (Whatever that means.)  All I know is that from the deadlock reflection that I had on it in the side mirror that it looked good.

Off to get everything finished and set up!! xo

  1. Oh! I totally thought there would be a sneak peek of the Nug at the end of this post! Like a picture of the side view mirror or something. What a tease! Haha. Can’t wait to see it!

  2. I have been following your blog for a while and LOVE the Nugget. Congratulations on making it in the New York Times.

  3. I knew I should have done a drive-by-sneak-peek of the Nugs before you took off for the conference! Can’t wait to see it!

  4. Saw the Nugget and love it. I would say totally worth the blood, sweat, and tears. My daughter Sarah and I had a great time at all of your classes. The light I made is already hanging. Sarah says you are awesome and she wished you were our neighbor. Thank you the wisdom you shared so that we might be able to learn from your trials and errors. So Fantastic!
