Totally Should!

That’s it, the wood floors are done! It’s so awesome seeing this floor restored. You can see some history, but the wood really shines through. Looks great in person!  This is the area that used to be covered in linoleum 

It’s almost done! Apparently they replaced a little wood or did some other things to deal with stains, and we get to see it tomorrow. This is what we have from peeking before the final coat of finish: Oh yeah, and it looks like we can get oil based urethane … Continue reading →

Last night we heard confirmation that the floor refinishers would start today, so we had to quickly remove everything from the house. It actually took about two hours to break down boxes, move things to the garage and kitchen, and take up the plastic from the bedroom, but we were … Continue reading →

This is exciting! The tile is grouted, the sink and toilet are in, the medicine cabinet is in, ceiling light is hung, and (crossing our fingers) no more broken tiles! The ceiling light isn’t hooked up yet, we have a dimmer switch on the way. I had to get a … Continue reading →

Not much more to share yet, but here’s a shot of what the shower looks like today. I think it’s going to be pretty stylish! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Kaitlyn has a good eye.  We’ve been told that the end of this is going to … Continue reading →

It doesn’t look like much, but apparently we have passed city inspection for electrical and plumbing in the bathroom. You’ll notice a few things in this picture; first we have two shower heads and two valves. The lower valve is the main water control, and the upper switches between the … Continue reading →
