In case you forgot a few weeks back you helped me decide what granite to use on my new countertops. In case you missed it I choose CANELLE. So far I have started to remove the drawers, take everything out from underneath the cabinets (just a couple so far). I went to Home Depot and purchased some packing boxes, already have four sitting in my dining room. All myl cabinets are finished and if I do say so for being 50 years old look pretty good. I removed all the hardware, cleaned it and will reuse it.
Today I started to remove the countertrops. OMG I am already beginning to think maybe I made the wrong decision. I banged, no movement. So I thought well I don't see any screws, it must be really good 50 year old glue. Maybe I'll take the formica off and see where I need to cut.
Back to the computer to make sure I understood all the directions. Here are some pictures of what I have done so far.
Sample: Canelle Oak Cabinets
Removed some of the 50 year old formica so I could figure out how to get the countertops off
They say on DYI you can do it. Yes I can! Can you see my new rubber mallet and heavy duty hammer.
Tomorrow I will get the courage to remove the stove top and work on the next section. Anything has to be better then that "old yellow" formica.
They said I have about 21 days before delivery; hope I have all the countertops removed by that time. Looks like Carl is going to have to eat allot of cold cuts for awhile.

From one that knows, the inside scoop, why folk's love New Braunfel's Texas and Comal County Texas
Information at the end of this blog for Wurstfest
2009
Set on the banks of two rivers just 30 minutes north of San Antonio. New Braunfels is great for families to enjoy all year. The spring-fed Comal and the swifter Guadalupe, provide tubing and swimming for the entire family. Families for generations have come to this area just for that reason.
Then you have Schlitterbahn. The park is filled with trees and shady picnic areas along the Comal River. It is built in German architecture of castles and towers. The rides are everyone's favorite. They lead you in a tube down a mile of twists and turns before splashing you into the Comal. Seems every year they add something new. If you didn't know, Schlitterbahn bulds many of the rides in theme parks all over the world and is headquarted in New Braunfels.
Then there is the famous GrueneTexas area: Located just five minutes from downtown New Braunfels Texas. A unique place to eat is the famous Gristmill Restaurant, which was once a cotton gin. Just as you enter, the Gristmill is Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas.
German Heritage Galore over at Gruene Texas
Then there is the Gruene Mansion Inn . This wonderful old landmark mansion has been preserved. Antique shops and history all in one place at Gruene. Where tourist walking the streets in Gruene still have the right away. People stop, smile, and wave and say howdy. The best ever is when they have Gruene Market Day's and vendors have unique items for sale. Carl did a blog on the Gristmill and the Gruene Mansion a few weeks ago when we went to eat at the Gristmill (my favorite baby back ribs)>
In downtown New Braunfels Texas , you have the square and the beautiful old Gazebo where folks meet and the bands sometimes still plays great music. The courthouse and main street antique shops. A walk to the famous Faust Hotel and Naegelin's Bakery where every day they serve the best-baked goods ever (since 1868 oldest bakery in Texas) Try the apple streusel.
It's great during Christmas when it al dressed for the holidays!
The famous Wurstfest held each year that brings thousands of visitors to New Braunfels.This year it is a ten-day salute to sausage and tradition www.wurstfest.com. Close to where Wurstfest is held is Landa Park that offers everything you would ever want in a city park.
Coming up this month!
Food - Fun - Music - and Texas Friendly Folks to say Welcome to New Braunfels, Texas
I could go on forever why I love New Braunfels; it's not just me, it is the generations that have lived in this area. Generations that have preserved the proud German heritage. A place where people are friendly, and willing to share. A place that still maintains the small home town feelilng, neighbor taking care of neighbor.

1. During the winter keep your draperies open during the day to let sunlight warm your home and keep them closed at night to help keep cold air out.
2. Seal leaks and caulk around doors and windows to prevent air loss, change or clean air filters every month and make sure your home is properly insulted. ( I did a series on this earlier in the month).
3. Run the dishwasher when it is full, and air-dry instead of using heat dry setting. You will save electricity by washing fewer loads and not drying with heat.
4. Wash full loads of clothes and if possible use cold water to wash your clothes. You will save electricity by running fewer loads and not heating the water.
5. In the winter which is almost upon us here in Texas, set the thermostat to 68 degrees in the daytime and comfortable lower setting at night or when you are away from home.
We keep hearing your utility bill will be rising, try a few of these and see if it will help.

Recycle your plant pots and save yourself some money by Ceil Winters
Summer is over and now we need to think about Fall and Fall Plants. Here are some tips that will save you some money. Spruce up those old clay pots.
Mums are my favorite
Recycle those old plants pots.
1. Remove old plant and potting soil.
2. Use soap and water and a scrub brush to remove grit and grime.
3. Rinse well and let dry completely.
4. If you want you can paint; I use exterior semi-gloss.
5. This is a good way to recycle all your old paint.
6. You can get creative and do lots of projects when you recycle.
7. You can even spray paint and spruce up old basket plant holders. Spray paint and ribbon go a long way.
8. While the paint is drying, take a nap.
9. While I'm napping I send Carl to the nursery to buy me some new plants. Any color mums are fine with me.
10. Always start with new potting soil.
11.The nursery has a great variety of fall plants to choose from.
Mums are my favorite. You can't go wrong and the colors are great. When it gets too cold outside bring them in and set around. You can enjoy them right up to the holidays.
If you are selling your home adding fall flowers will look great after the long, hot, dry summer we have had here in Texas. When your mums get too tall, cut them down and they will come back again several times.
If you are buying a home in my service area of Comal County or Bexar County and surrounding area, please give me a call. Carl Wintes, Complete Inspection service 830-660-0131. I am an Advanced Home Inspector, License #3630.
