Bathroom almost done…

Thanks to my extremely hard working father-in-law, and the contractor he found for us, our main floor bathroom is nearly finished. Here are some pictures of the finished tile, floor, dry wall, etc.

Dumpster!

We rented a dumpster over the weekend to clean out all the left over building materials, old kitchen cabinets, and other random stuff that has been collecting in our garage over the past 2 years…

Painting the Exterior

Over the weekend, we finally started painting the exterior of the house! The front of the house is almost complete, except for the dormers. The color is ‘dovetail’, sort of a gray with a little brown mixed in. And as you can see in the below picture, my attempt at painting the dormers was unsuccessful.

Kitchen Tile Complete

Over the weekend we finished the tile in the Kitchen. Thanks to John and Karen for helping us out immensely. This is the last big project we have remaining in our little remodeling project. Well, except for doing the trim around the patio door and painting the outside of the house…:)

Here are a few pics..
