Now we're getting somewhere

You know that feeling you get when there is soooo much to do and you can't do any of it? Well, I think we are finally doing something. Last week Mike's cousin was out here finishing the tape/mud on the drywall downstairs. A good vaccuum and about a dozen rags to dust everything down and we can start painting. Well, right after the ceiling is plastered. But that is still great!

And the bathroom has plumbing, and now that the walls are up, it can be finished so the vanity and stool go in next. Then more paint! Woo Hoo!

And while that is "in process", we got the laminate wood floor for the kitchen and started on it. The original linoleum was damaged when the dishwasher installers drug the diswasher over it leaving a long gouge. Of course that wasn't acceptable, so we told the builder to fix it. We thought they did, but instead, we just found out that the laid a 2nd layer of linoleum ON TOP OF the first! Naughty, naughty!! S o we have to pull up both layers to lay the new floor. Yes it is a pain, but fortunately it is going pretty easy. This is the beginning. Hope to have the after pics by the end of the weekend.

(Note to self: never have a kitchen/bath/room with linoleum again. It is terrible stuff!)

This is the bath in progress, and our nice - almost ready for paint - basement.
