Book Worm

This is how I find Nora a lot these days. I guess it's in her blood (I'm talking about you GB!)

Getting Back to Normal...Sort of...

We actually didn't spend the entire weekend doing housework. Our refinance went through so we decided to back off a little and took the kids ice skating. They had a great time and want to go back soon. Nora and Jack did really well. Jack can almost skate on his own after just an hour of skating with the crates. Benny on the other hand would rather sit on the bench...

Yes, We're still going...

Kids bathroom vanity

This is the kids tub. They've already taken a bath in it. It's significantly deeper than our old tub so Jack think he is a dolphin...

Kids toilet with beadboard that Jim put up.

Another view...

Master tub. I think it's calling my name...

Getting There

Here are some pictures of our latest progress...

Jim was able to put in the sinks in the master bath. We actually have running water!!
He even put in our toilet.


Another view...

This is what I worked on all weekend and all last weekend. This is the kids bath tub. The tile took me forever!

You wouldn't think so but that little inset shelf is what took the most time.

Jim hung this light in the hallway.

He's also making a lot of progress on the stairs. They look really nice.

This is the tile that I put in the entry. It still needs to be grouted. It's black slate.

Another view. The grout will be grey. You can see where the tile ends we will put a bench and some storage.

Still Going Strong

Hallway with hardwood and lights.
Tile floor in the kids bathroom just waiting for grout.

Lights in the kids bath over mirror and vanity.

Master Bath tub surround with 2" marble tiles.

This is where two pedestals will go with the vanity lights. You can see adjoining toilet closet with tiles that match tub surround.

Long Time, No Post

A lot has been happening around here. We are working as quickly as possible so as to meet our deadline. Check out some new pictures...

Carpet installed in the kids rooms. Jim trimmed out all the doors and windows. I just have to go back and patch holes and touch up paint.

Thank God for the mini-van!! It is literally like a clown car. Not sure how we manage to fit so much in it but we do!

Me nailing down cement board in the kids bathroom getting ready for tile.

Jack helping to put the half bath back together. Start 'em young!!
