Final Outside Before and After

We have to do some landscaping once warmer temps arrive, but we have the final(ish) before and after pictures of the outside.  I was waiting until we no longer needed a dumpster in the driveway to take the picture.

Slowly Moving In

The kitchen  space and front room got cleaned and cleared and we are using more space each day.  New appliances were delivered, but the fridge is still in limbo.  A mix up was made and we are waiting for the resolution.  A cabinet will need to be resized above the fridge, but everything else has stayed on track.

 

Picture of kitchen with fridge.  If everything works out we might have a fridge that looks the same as this one in the picture.  We will see what happens.

Seth did his backsplash while his parents were over for new year.  They were a big help with mixing grout and helping clean the mess.  The front is also tiled, but I will have to get a picture later.

3 bedrooms painted, 2 days of plumbing, and a kitchen sink just for me

NoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNoteNote

Yeah, you can get the tune in your head.

well the most exciting news is that after about 1.5 months of no sink and water on the main level, we now have a kitchen sink back.  A little more work and we will be spoiled by having a dishwasher again.  At least no more carrying dishes to the basement laundry tub.

Aurora helps mom do some dishes after many piled up waiting for the return of the sink.

We noticed we never put pictures of the painted bedrooms, and now the doors are in as well.
