Closer and Closer

Even though I haven't been home much the last few weeks, the house elves are continuing work
The hardwood floors are now done and we are able to walk on them.

The appliances are back in place in the kitchen.

The two big stumbling blocks right now are the bathroom (which is why you won't see it here), and the craft room. We're waiting on carpet to be installed on Monday, and then we'll be able to move our office from the apartment to the house.

The carpet was supposed to be installed last Wednesday, but the guys never showed up. That has happened to us a couple of times, with various other contractors. How can you conduct business that way?

Another view of the dining area - sans carpet.


I have started moving some of my yarn and scrap stuff to the built in cabinets. But, I have to wait until the other furniture is in the room to truly get it organized. That's the flooring that will be covered by carpet tomorrow (hopefully).

I like your new Michael's! It looks great!

The floors are fantastic! The paint color is perfect! The kitchen is great for cooking ... well, that's an assumption from a non-cooker!

Can't wait for our get togethers! It's been too long.

Wow! Call Better Homes & Gardens! When are we all invited for the hosted tour? Congratulations! [I honestly thought the first picture of the kitchen came from a magazine.]

It looks really good. We've had issues with contractors not showing up for our remodel too. It's ridiculous...how do they expect to make money?

(sorry can't ever remember the log in) Aunt Janet says: really nice work. House looks great. Hope the bathroom and carpet get in quickly, aren't your days numbered at the other apt? You guys have done a really great job. You should be proud.
