Painting Day!






We got to painting day! I used the same paint as I did the rest of the basement in, to try to make it blend a little bit. I think it turned out really nice. I had to add a few touches of red, because years ago, I put a sign on the side of the sink cabinet called "Taking out the Garbage for Dummies". I put a lot of step by step instructions, so that Kyle and Steffi would actually know how to do it.
(I thought they must not know how.) When Steffi got home from school, it made her mad, and she ripped it off, tearing the finish off of the cabinet as well. So, I just painted the whole darn thing red. I like it! And now Steffi doesn't have to suffer the humiliation of the story anymore.....Okay, I guess she does, and will....until I forget about it. Which I probably won't. Ever.

Tile work



Here is more progress on the bathroom. It looked to me like they were creating, and then putting a puzzle together. I am amazed!

More Remodel



Here are pictures of our ongoing mess in the bathroom. It has been so interesting to watch the process!

We are re-doing our basesment bathroom! It has been so awful for a lot of years. I apologize to all of you who had to use it!!! It has been quite an adventure to only have one bathroom in the house for a while, though! Be glad to have another toilee soon!



Here is the big dirt pile for Dev to play in! It has been quite intriguing to watch the procees!! Come on by and see for yourself! We'll make room for anyone who wants to see!



Here are the beginnings of the "During" stage! Imagine what fun all the dirt outside has done to my carpet inside!


Here are the "Before" shots of our house! We are doing a remodel. The workers just got started last week, so I took a few pictures so that I can remember what it was like to have a back yard!
