Progress

We have made some progress on the house. Mom and I worked in the yard and removed almost all of those damn acorns as well as the leaves. We spent the last 3 days painting the guest room (I'll post pics soon). Matt scraped the outside windowsill (painfully) and re-painted and it looks great.

The carpet is up and the wood is here!

Oh I love it. It's 4 1/4" red oak. I'll post on my decision making process at some point.

It's currently resting in the house and accommodating to the temperature/humidity. That's why it's so important to get the basement under control.

The kitchen is out!

Hooray! It took 3 guys about 5 hours to get it all out. They took EVERYTHING. Including the kitchen sink. Hehe. No kidding - they took cabinets, counters, oven, stove, and hood. Whew. Then they gave me $500. Oh happy day.

This is all that's left.

My poor Mom. We have no kitchen. She was hoping to stay here a few days and then get out to the lake. I already told you about why we can't get to the lake. We're stuck with this as our new kitchen breakfast area.

What else?

Our room is painted. I like it. We still need to hang pictures, window treatments, etc. but here is a sneak peak.

Spring is finally starting to arrive.

Whew. We're making progress. One step at a time.
