Showing signs of progress, but still a lot left to go!

Hi Everyone, Sheila and I have been making progress, but I haven't been taking pictures of everything. We've been working on all the bathrooms, tiling and doing prep work for painting and other stuff. My guess is we will have all the bathrooms done or close to done by March 15th, and then start working on the main rooms building walls and sheetrocking. After that we should have somebody ready for doing the taping/ceiling repairs. Then we will be ready to install the floors. After writing all that, It looks like we will be easily the end of April or early May before we're ready to get it on the market.

Blayne's snow tube

I wanted to put this up for Blayne and anyone else who wants to see our undersnow sliding hill.

Kitchen remodel

The Kitchen is over half done. We have to finish the ceiling and floor and the kick board on the cabinets. We'll get the back splash finished and do crown moulding(sp?). Sheila found a great granite company, "Minnesota Custom Stoneworks" 651-777-7674. The install on the Granite took about 2 hours, partially because the Granite had to warm up for the epoxy to hold. Next were on to the main bathroom plumbing and setting the tub and Sheila will be grouting and then painting the main bathroom.

Overdue Update

For the last two weeks we have been fine tuning the Kitchen cabinets, finishing tiling in the master bathroom, and finished up the utility room. In essence the utility room is brand new! Now that it is finished we can move on to other rooms. We have video and pictures enroute, but I'm waiting for the Granite that goes in the kitchen Monday morning. That should really finish off the kitchen except for the flooring and ceiling. More soon to come......

3rd week of January

We installed most of the cabinets in the kitchen. We left some uninstalled so we could have more space to move lumber and other construction material in. Sheila has been working on the master bathroom tiling and I have worked on finishing some Electrical that needs to be done, like the washer and dryer downstairs, the hot water heater and the new service for the Jacuzzi in the main bathroom. I also am finishing up the hard wiring on the furnaces.

Tiling-Furnaces

Sheila has been busy Tiling the downstairs bathroom floor and the masterbath room shower. We finally found someone reasonable to install the furnaces. With the weather so cold, he could not finish last Friday, so he will have to come back this week. In the mean time the furnaces are doing a great job of keeping us and house warm as it has been below zero most of the last 3-4 days.

1st part of January 2008

We're still doing the putsy stuff. Sheila was removing the tile in the downstairs bathroom and one of the tiles flung into the shower door and shattered it, oops. Mom and Dad stopped by to check out the progress, they are the 1st visitors since we started working on the house.
