Getting to Work...




Sorry it's been so long. Looking at the date of that last post I can't believe so much time has passed. Let's see, what's happened in the last month+... Well, Beau has started back up in preschool. He loves it although all the new kids who weren't in his class last year are the "other mean kids". Mom came into town unannounced - we're a 20 hour drive away yet there's no time in there for a phone call? That is always ok though as we put her right to work.

So in the week she was here we: finished the upstairs bathroom tile and grout and sealed it, painted the wainscoting, had the shower, toilet and claw foot tub hooked up, installed baseboard in the living and family rooms, installed crown molding in the family room, tore out the old bedroom corner closet (what were they thinking?), trimmed out the dining room windows and doors, in the dining room we installed baseboard, a plate-rail, and mission-style wainscotting, built a new bedroom closet and hung the doors, gutted the kitchen, had it re-plumbed, and put down, filled, sanded and finished (stain with three coats of poly) the new bedroom and kitchen wood floors. Not too bad in a week, but considering we now have about a month's worth of painting to do (not to mention our kitchen is in our dining room) we probably won't be able to take too much of a break.
