Sorry that its been a while since we’ve posted any thing about the house (flood insurance doesn’t count)! Every day seems to fly by and I can’t even tell you what all we did…

Our painter, Andy, has finished painting every thing except the living room and dining room. If you remember, this is the area that requires the most work and time. Last week he finished the main floor bedroom which has ended up being my favorite room so far! I love the paint color and Andy did a great job getting rid of the cracks in the ceiling. If you remember, this is the crackle room that had to be sprayed with some nasty chemical. Andy also completed painting the upstairs. I chose a cream for that area and in all honesty I am still not sold on it! However, there is no going back now! I am hoping to put up wainscoting on the ceiling and stain it down the road. (Far far down the road honey! )

This is a corner of the main floor bedroom after the walls were painted:

This is the upstairs hallway which was painted a cream color:

Last night Shane and I found out that our kitchen cabinets will be here tomorrow! I am very excited, but laughing at the same time. When all of this mess started the upstairs bathroom was suppose to be the first room completely done so we could live upstairs and close off the main floor. Well two months later, the kitchen will be the first room completely done! Once the cabinets are in then the countertops will be ordered and those sould be in within 2 weeks. I am so ready to have my kitchen back.

Floor update! The floor guy showed up yesterday unannounced. I was still in bed and woke up to him outside my bedroom door. I was not happy. Anyways, in the end the guy left. Now he is scheduled to be here next week to start sanding all the floors (uptairs and main floor). Once he gets the upstairs done then we can finish the bathroom up here.

Basement update: The basement has water in it. We have decided to take out the foam board Shane put up and have his friend come spray foam the walls of what will be his office. I’ll let Shane make a post on this, but I figured I might as well mention it.

Well I’m out of time! I need to get back to stripping Brendan’s door I started…oh wait! I forgot about the stripping and all the wood we’ve been working on. Shane and I finished the window trim for the upstairs bathroom and are now working on the kitchen window. I’m hoping to start sanding and completing the upstairs doors next, but we’ll see. My newel post is still waiting to be sanded, but it’s not going any where!

There I think I’m really done now!
