This is our bedroom looking from the opposite end of the room. The opening is into an entry and the second doorway is into our walk-in closet. The next picture is just to the right where you enter the bathroom.

This is our master bedroom, minus all the junk.

I finally got all the construction tools and debris cleaned up and you can get a better view of the greatroom. There is still a protective paper on the wood floor that I won't take up until we get the master bedroom and bath done.

Here's another view of the kitchen. Of course the frig goes in that large opening, a five burner gas cooktop with a microwave oven above it is next, then a stainless steel sink under the window, a dishwasher in the space next to it, then around the corner and 2 double regular/convection ovens. The cabinets are a knotty alder with black on the edges. I love them!

Here is the latest picture of our new kitchen. Out front is the island which has black beadboard on three sides and the cabinet face on the other side. Granite countertops are coming on March 12th. Also we had a new window, casing and sill put in to replace the one you can see. The appliances arrived while I was in Ohio and so I haven't seen them yet myself.

Catching up on our renovation!

The furnace room with the storage room to the left.

This is the downstairs hall, with the theater room to the right

and the storage and furnace rooms to the left.

Here's a more finished look at our bedroom, with paint and moulding.

My closet is almost finished. I'm still not sure there is not

enough room. I don't know where Bill's clothes are going

The great room is painted and the crown moulding and base boards are up.

A view of the front door and the accent wall.

Here I am working. Yes I actually did some of it.

We've enlisted the top professionials in the field, well actually the price was just right.

Now the fun part begins, the wood floor.

The same with the sheetrock in the great room.

The sheetrock is up in our bedroom and it is starting to take shape.

Here's the framing of our walk in closet. My favorite room in the house!

Thanksgiving Week Workload

Just working on finishing up the kitchen and taking out the soffits.

Oops! Maybe I should have laid off the second helpings of pie.

It is amazing we actually accomplished something with this caliber of workers.

Ten years bad luck for Nathan.

Most of the cabinents are out and the tile is coming up.

Just taking a short break. Wow the new workout has really changed Mom.

Tami, I wished there was a reason to explain your change.

Close your eyes mom, and suck up those mouse terds.

Just a couple "trashy" kids


Let that viking blood do its thing.
Yes, they are going and boy are we glad.

The arrival of the sheetrock.

This one is for you Mark. Some of your Dad's handywork.
