Let the Painting Commence!

So here are some pictures of the inside and out. Andy sprayed primer and the ceilings and closets. Mom and I are going to be rolling the walls for the next few days. Then cabinets are supposed to be installed next Thursday. Hopefully countertops and appliances will follow early the next week. The fence is almost complete, we're waiting to pour the driveway and get rock for the rest. I would like to get some grass in the back, but we'll see. We have an estimated closing date, but I don't want to jinx it....

More pictures...

If this is in order, here's a shot of the upstairs room, Mom vacuuming the drywall dust off the floor in the living room, a picture of the garage, and the bottom of our shower... :)

Finally a chance to paint...

I know it's been a while (9 days) since I posted...enough said. School ends tomorrow! I will be helping Mom paint while Dad does closet shelves and Andy gets the shower ready to tile. The fence will be completed soon. The rock and the patio are also almost finished. I am so psyched to get cabinets, order granite, appliances, blinds, carpet, and put in a little rock and some grass.

Hello...I apologize for being out of touch so long! Things have been progressing without me. The rock is finished on the front and Andy hung the lights to see what they look like. Dad and Andy have been pushing dirt around and planning for fencing. They compacted for the driveway. The drywallers have applied a second coat of mud on the taping. Hopefully someday soon we'll have texture and be able to paint...

Pictures of the day...

Check out the rock! Isn't that cool? Everywhere that it's grey... along the front & the back patio/porch columns will be that rock. The drywall is hung...taping starts tomorrow. We had a little fiesta on the back porch...great furniture, right?

Hi...while I sit here at school, Andy and my parents are dealing with contractors galor. Rock is being installed on the front of the house, drywall is being taped, and gutters are being discussed. Some days it is sooooo frustrating to have a job! (just kidding). I added a link to the right for the granite I want to use through most of the house. The laundry and office bath may have a different color, just depends on the price and amount of slabs. Mom and I cruised for lighting, countertops, sinks, fans, and other "girl" stuff on Saturday. It was exhausting! I may have found a great deal on mirrors, though! Will post pictures later...

Carpet

I like the fact that it has lots of colors...

All about tile...

Here's the bathroom look we're going for...










Here's a picture of the shower... and you can see the edge of the tub.

Here's the guest tub... I'm thinking brown tiles with a blue accent - perhaps glass or subway tiles.

Drywall and Patio

We have drywall and a stamped concrete back patio. It looks wider in some places now...very cool. I will do a second posting of just pictures and then a third post about the bathrooms for tile.
