This week has been kinda slow. But tomorrow things pick back up.

Friday-Carpet Installed, Furniture Delivered, Cable ran in every room.

We will start moving things in on Saturday and hubby will start the tile.

On Monday the appliances will be delivered and the cable will be turned on.

You think we will get it all done by Thanksgiving??? (without killing each other)

Paint Update 3 & New Furniture

The painting is complete!

I have to be honest. It was quite a shock walking in the house and seeing that yellow. Hubby wasnt too happy with me either. I was so sure of this color on the paint chip. Maybe it was just the shock of finally seeing color on the walls. It has grown on me already...

The kids and I drove to Selmer, TN to Henco (Its worth the drive) to buy furniture. We purchased the kitchen table & chairs, 2 bar stools a sectional with ottoman, bunk beds and three matresses. We will buy our master bedroom furniture once the addition is finished. Sorry, I didnt take pics of the matresses. hee hee...

I am FRUSTRATED :0(

We were getting really frustrated with the painters. They showed up on Monday and today, but we couldn't see that anything was really being done. Hubby called them today so see what was up and they said that they have just been doing prep work. You cant paint over wet caulk. They said that they would be done by Saturday.

E came over yesterday with his landscaping crew did some clean up work.

I took some pics last night and went back over there there today at lunch to get some pics in the daylight.

They cleaned up the circle part of the driveway

They thinned out the monkey grass and the hedges

They shaped up the tall bushes

and they redesigned the pond/waterfall

It was a big surprise to come over there and see all that done. There is a big brush pile in the back and were gonna light it up on Thanksgiving. It will be our first bonfire!!!

Times Running Out!!!

The drywall guys have finished the ceilings. They are so smooth and fresh looking. I am really glad we decided to scrape the ceilings. It really makes a difference.

The roof was put on Saturday. We had a few leaks, so we decided to go ahead and put a new one on. Looks good.

Hubby and C pulled up the carpet and quarter round to get ready for new carpet and tile.

They look like they are really busy, watching the football game on C's "work TV".

The painters will be starting tomorrow. Get ready for COLOR!!!!

More Progress

Since we have family coming in for Thanksgiving, we had to speed things up a bit. We have hired out some work. Drywall guys to finish out the ceilings and a painter will be starting on Monday.

I stopped by the house today to see how some tile looked with the cabinets and the granite.

I haven't been over to the house since the drywall guys have been there. They have been working on smoothing out the ceilings from where we scraped the popcorn off (they still have to sand down a few places) & have been filling in holes on the walls to get them ready for painting. The woodwork is starting to get primed.

It gives me a better idea of what the white trim is gonna look like and I love it! It already makes the room look so much bigger!

As I was leaving the roof shingles and supplies were being delivered. So I guess they will start on that on Monday as well!
