The Homestretch

A view of the bathroom - shower is on the left - sink will be straight ahead.

The floor tile - I LOVE it!


Looking at the pool table room. Sub floor is in, light is hung, first coat of paint on the wall.

View from the pool table area to the tv area - note the trim is starting to go up around the window!


Tuesday = complete sub floor, final coat of paint, door frames hung
Wednesday = carpet installed
Thursday = trim and hang doors
Bathroom.... hopefully before the end of the month!

20 Months!

Our baby girl is 20 months. Some of her latest accomplishments include:
Sing's 'ABCD', 'Twinke Twinkle', 'No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed'
Loves to say 'dancing' and dance around - she has sweet moves like her mom (oh ohh)
Maddy loves to get dressed up. When going out she picks out her own boots, hat, mittens and jacket and brings them to us to help her get ready.
On Sunday Maddy sat in the chair next to her Dad - pointed at the football game and yelled 'Go Go Go!'. When Dustind came down in his 'Jet's' jersey she pointed and said 'Jet's' - I don't think that Carl ever had a prouder moment





















Story Time

Now that Dustind is starting to spell and write... he writes, and writes and writes...

Snow Birds

For my family in Florida... this is what I get to wake up to in the a.m.!

Nana and papa spoiled the kids with some great new clothes at Christmas - I wanted to post some for Nana to see how sweet her babies look! Thanks Nana - we feel like we are dressed to the 9's every day!

and for those of you wondering... yes I still have my garland up on my railings... unfortuanately with the basement renovation I can't get into the cellar to store them until I can clear out what is in there to move to the rest of the basement

Pre-primer

Tape and Mud is done! The team was quick, tidy and minimal dust!





Stand by for pictures of the walls with primer... sub floor in and progress on the bathroom!

Drywall Hung

Looking at closet - carl had an outlet installed and the fridge for drinks will go in here. Shelves above. Room behind is going to hold the pool table and kids play area.













The TV / Wii area













A different perspective of the pool table / kids play area - can see in to Carl's future wine cellar where all building materials are currently stored














Door on the left leads to the work room. Door on the right into the bathroom
