I know if I don't write about it now I probably won't. Cody has been working so hard on getting the house ready for us to move in. We tore up all the carpet upstairs, so in the living room, hallway, 3 bedrooms, and office. We tore up the laminent in the kitchen and the dining room had carpet so that got taken up as well. Originally we were going to put tile in the entry way and not even mess with the kitchen quite yet. Looking into tile we realized that it would be a lot cheaper to do laminate hardwood floor and keep the rock in the immediate doorway. We had been discussing how it would work with replacing the carpet and having it all blend together when we eventually put in new kitchen floor. We changed plans and found out we could put flooring in the entry, kitchen and dining for about the same as tile only in the entry.
We have been painting like crazy today and thought it was going to take all weekend. Cody's family came to te rescue! His mom watched the girls all day so that I could be there helping him. His dad and brother also came over all day to help paint and the entire upstairs is just about finished. We didn't think we would even get half way done today.
The bathroom ended up being a lot bigger project than either of us anticipated. We thought changing the shower behind the door into a closet and putting a shower head in the tub would be a lot easier but it's taken a lot. Cody's brother came up last week and helped a lot and Cody laid the last of the tile on the floor at 2:30 am the other night.
It's been a long and rough process but it will be so worth it in the end! We can't wait to have it finished and be moved in.
I forgot to mention... Everything in the house was originally PINk!!!!! I mean everything!
