Ceiling repaired (on both walls), cupboards have arrived and the kitchen is primed - things are moving along!


Dave finds the studs (come on - you know there is a joke to made there!)

Primed (before cupboards arrived)

Stairs before - I figured I should get a picture of the before as we will paint them when we do the kitchen.

Walls washed, plastered and sanded, not much different than before.

Dave being Dave while ripping the first layer of lino and subfloor up.

Mom helping to pull up the old lino tiles that were under the floor (aren't they lovely? The green matches the old counter tops and backsplash and as best we can figure, they ran that green strip around all the tables and such - outlineing the kitchen)

First half up.

The cause of this whole mess - a leaking faucet (okay so it caused the final need to reno but the ktichen was a mess, the floor was beyond cleaning and none of the cupboards closed among other problems)

Yeah mold! Not as much as I had feared at least.

Lower cabinets out, sink out. No turning back now!

Renovations cont'd

Computer and all food/ktichen stuff removed from kitchen, trim pulled down from ceiling




Uppers removed, side one

Uppers side two removed and all doors off lowers removed.

Kitchen renos begin!

So we have started the kitchen renos are moving along fast. We were incredibly lucky to have friend who are renovating their kitchen and gave us the old cupboards so we started ripping stuff out in anticipation of the cupboards coming. Our deadline is MArch 25th - here's hoping we can do it!

House update

November marked our first year in the house! We have painted 11 times, fixed the heater twice, two plumbing jobs and numerous small projects that without my dads help would still be on my to do list.


I am in a rush (what a surprise these days!) but I have been meaning to post these for ages. So they are mostly unlabed and just stuck in. I will try to update better soon.

Kitchen

Dining Room

Dining room- we lucked out and when my grandma moved we got her dining room set. The two hutches, table and chairs. Our dining room may very well be the best room int he house!

(this colour is way off, the next one is more accurate)

Declans room

Bathroom - new

Well it is now November and our bathromm is halfway complete. It has been a long slow proces but we are working our way around other things. The bathtub and tiling is done, the floor is done and we are about to put the sink and toilet in and then finish the little tings like the paint behind the toilet and the floor.

Destructing the main vanity and sink.

Finished floor and wall (the white chunks are where we have to pull the wall apart to support the new sink)

Tilework in the tub. All dave's design.
