The basement project ...

The wall is up. The drywall is on ... and the mud is drying!

A new door for the room.

Another view of the basement project!

Door to the left will go to a bathroom and the laundry room.

Dwell in possibility!

The house :) ... There is great patch of dirt below the big front window and I can hardly wait to fill it with colorful, happy flowers!

Snapshots on a Saturday night ...

Check out that dining room floor. Tory finished the 3rd coat of finish last night - it looks fantastic!

Wow!

Dad - working on tape and mud on the new wall in the basement.

Kaleb, Tory, Lauren and Kade - working on the drywall down in the basement (it's a new wall that was put up last night).

Carpet removal in the upstairs hallway...

It's been a CRAZY, BUSY day. We shall sleep well tonight :)
Good night old/new house!

Bye bye old carpet.

Removing the carpet from the upstairs hallway... I ended up cutting it with the utility knife into sections that were small enough to haul off and drop into the outside garbage can! :)

Ugh... this stuff was beyond gross. We have new carpet being installed on Thursday 4/15 ...

The bathroom (with a few updates) ...

The water is running in the house now - celebrate good times! :)
Here is a glimpse of the bathroom ... lots of white. It's charming, simple and has a touch of shabby chic to it. Love it.

The floor

Check out that floor - :) Eventually, we'll put a pellet stove in the right hand corner...!
And we'll snuggle up and sip hot chocolate and enjoy every moment. I can hardly wait to get moved in!

Framing a wall - in the basement ...

We are working on the basement ... :)
