HaPpY NeW YeAr!!

I hope 2010 will be the year we finish off the flooring on the main floor and upstairs! Living with primarily subfloors for over 2 years has been hard. We have been under MAJOR renovation for just over 2 years! So now that most of our large remodel projects on the upper 2 floors are complete the house is starting to feel like a home. Our last and most expensive remodel will be the Kitchen. So we will have to save up for that expense. Bruce has been home on RNR from Kuwait and has been a big help to finish up some of our projects that were left undone prior to his departure.

Mantel

Bruce built this fireplace mantle- I was impressed! I didn't know that he was such a great woodworker :) It's hard to see... it needs a coat of paint. I told him when he gets back he will have to make us a new one for the living room. :)

Tile Work Grouted

Bathroom Floor Grouted. I need to upload a better picture. This will have to do for now.

Shower Grouted.

Fireplace Grouted

Jess learned an important lesson grouting, never grout with dry skin. The grout literally eats holes through your skin and has VERY sore fingers because of it!

Bathroom Floor Installed! YAY!! Bruce is becoming a pretty good little tile guy. But he hates doing tile work. He will love his "vacation" in Kuwait to get away from the tile work.

Dinning Room Floor installed and New Light is Hung

Today we installed the dinning room floor and Bruce hung the new light. Our house is starting to feel like a home.

GUEST BATHROOM TILE

Close Up Picture of the decroative tiles... in the shower.

Today Bruce put the tile on the shower walls in the Guest Bathroom.

We wish you a Merry Christmas! This is a very special Christmas at our house. It's the first year we have actually had a Christmas Tree up since we have been married. Second Bruce has been deployed to Kuwait and he was able to come for Christmas.
Jessica's Christmas wishes are coming true this Christmas. Bruce is home for the Holidays on RNR and he is even helping her put the house back together on his RNR. Bruce says "he gets a year long vacation in a sand box" so he is happy to work on the house when he is home. He has been a great worker!
