Tile in the bathrooms and closets... hall, jack and jill, master shower (tub still in progress) and eat your heart out, Imelda Marcos!

How things have changed...





We have so much to share. The changes are huge, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dad and Mom (MIL and FIL) - I will do a couple of posts to show pictures. Here is kitchen before and after, and stairs before and after.

How's the painting going, you ask? Exhausting... Andy is tiling, Dad is building custom closets, and Mom cuts in the edges and ceilings while I roll. Sarah supervises from the backyard. In some order, you are seeing our bedroom (temporarily a shelf painting operation), the hall bath (Andy's first tile job), part of the kitchen - with cabinets, how exciting!, and the upstairs wet bar area...

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...
