Fireplace NEARLY complete!

I had to share the picture of our nearly finished fireplace. We still need to paint the wall behind the clock, spray paint the vent covers on the fire place and find some corbles that will fit our mantle. Other then that our fireplace is complete.

Living Room Wood Floor is installed!

Well it took over 6 hours to install the wood floor, but its installed! YAY!! We finished the floor at 4 am this morning, so just about a half hour ago. It looks great!

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.
