Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

Here is what Santa brought us:

Working plumbing on the first floor!
A happy girl, and cabinets underway.

A functional kitchen.

And room to spread out. Note the tree, it went up before we had space!

Ahh.... space

We are finally to the point where we can spread out a bit and use some of our renewed spaces.

The old office is now a playroom, the table is back in the dining room, the microwave and stove are functional and in the kitchen!

Elizabeth tells the Christmas story to the nativity set.

More photos soon!

I made him go to WalMart

"Mick did not work on kitchen cabinets last night, because I made him come to WalMart with Elizabeth and me."

Today the dumpster went away!

Our kitchen and basement doors were installed. They are currently "unfinished", so picture a warm oak stain.

In this picture you can also see the grouted kitchen floor. It looks great!

Kitchen tiling

Here's the kitchen and dining progression.


Heat coils a couple weeks ago:

Tile on Monday:

The breezeway tile was set on Tuesday:

The bathroom tile! (today)

So, here's the bit I can't stop looking at. The wall color in the top picture is much more accurate than the second. The walls haven't been grouted yet, but I think it will look pretty close to what it does now. The lines between the white tiles will probably be a little less prominent.

The bathroom tile! (yesterday)

I'm thrilled with how the bathroom is turning out. I thought it would be good, but I can't help going back for another peek. Again, and again, and again.


The floor heat coil and leveling pictures are from a couple weeks ago. Excuse the blur, something is set wrong on that camera!






The tiling started yesterday.

Quiet...

There have been no updates here, since it's been quiet in the house. No trades have been here for just over a week. That all changes today -- stay tuned!

Mick has begun making cabinet boxes. Here's the first one, and a corner one. Both will go on the south wall, upper.
