Moving in a teeny bit

Now that the floor guy has decided he is done with the hardwood floors (not that we are happy, mind you, but he says he's done - what happened to pride in our work?), I can get back in and get to work.  I had some painting to fix in the kitchen and adding the border below the chair rail.  I had to re-paint all the baseboards as they got splattered by the floor stain.  I had to clean up all the dust (that wasn't supposed to happen because his machine had a vacuum attachment to suck it all up - what happened to that?) from all the baseboards, window sills, tops of doors, ceiling fans, etc., etc.  But anyway, I can be busy again - as well as working at packing up the old house!  Hurray for work!

Added the border in the dining room - not sure if I like it 100% or not but it will stay for now.

Moved in a couple of things in the guest bedroom!

A Little More Progress in the Kitchen

Andrew made the small wall cupboard to the right to match the rest.  Didn't he do great?  And Audrey painted it.

The kitchen floor before work begins.

The layer of wood is down and glued.  Waiting for it to dry.

The new flooring is down!  Hurray!

Lots of Help! Hurray!!

We had lots of helpers this weekend to get some work done at the house.  We love having guests who are willing to work too.  It was a great Saturday!

Bill Jordan and Barry make a great team!

Back to Work!

Audrey and Bill have come for a visit (Hurray!) and I put Audrey to work painting, while Bill and Paul went golfing.  Poor Audrey!  Bill's turn comes tomorrow when Andrew and Katherine arrive to help.

Slow Progress on Hardwood Floors

The refinishing the hardwood floors that was supposed to take 3 days is stretching into 2 weeks. : (
And I would show you pictures but the guy helped himself to my camera.: ( ((

Starting on the floors

Sanding the hardwood floors began today!

This room's floor had been painted white, in addition to the dirty spots, etc. so this is the beginning of getting off the paint.

And Paul began laying down flooring in the laundry room today also!

Moving Day Coming a Little Closer?

No pics today.  Just excited that the hardwood floors are supposed to get done this week as well as the laundry room floor (and maybe the kitchen floor too)!  Then I can start moving some stuff over if I have floors I can set it on.  Hurray!
