house update - two weeks and counting...


so we move in august 20th...and right now you probably would not guess that was the case.

tasks completed:

- new roof
- new electrical wiring
- outside of house, painted. trim near completion.
- old floors in kitchen ripped out, originals hardwoods being given new life throughout the house.
- five walls, gone-zo

still to go:

- interior painting and crown molding
- kitchen. yes, all of it. 
- front door of house - to paint or to stain? can't decide.
- french doors in kitchen

so we are a work in progress. hopefully as this list would seem to indicate, we about halfway complete, two weeks in and two weeks to go...a few pics and some before and afters:

Wow! Your home looks great... and like a lot of work. But you moved in on my 30th birthday, so I take that to be a very good sign. :)
