So we've been so busy working on the house that I haven't had time to update the blog. Here's the lowdown: Brian finished installing the 2nd floor hardwood, and we sanded and stained it. He has also tiled the boy's bathroom, and is beginning the master shower, as well as starting the hardwood on the first floor. It seems like I have been painting FOREVER, but the walls are all done just in time for me to start prepping the trim. My dad and I have installed the kitchen and master bath cabinets. Countertops were installed this week, but sorry, no good pics of them yet. We removed the old crumbling concrete sidewalks and installed a new one at the front door. The dumpster is FINALLY gone, so our new driveway should be installed any day. Mom and Dad are rebuilding our front porch so that soon, the view from the street should be looking pretty good, that is, IF i can ever get my painter to show up!
These pics aren't quite up to date, but i hope they will tide you over until I have time to take more!

Shout out to my Uncle Pete for letting me borrow his laser level.
We used it to set the kitchen cabinets, and to establish paint lines too.

The hardwood pattern on the first floor is going to be sweet! Here's the sketch that got things going:
Brian, the jack of all trades, installing the staircase light fixture b/c the electrician was "too wussy".
