Coming right along....

We had another productive week and weekend this past week and things are really starting to come together!  I decided the best way to update at this point is to just tell what all has been done to each room or is left to do.  We have so many different projects going on that it is too hard to sort it all out to write it any other way.  So here goes.....

Den
The coffered ceilings are up!  Dad, Kenny and Ronny finished getting the beadboard up in them on Saturday.  Then Sunday they trimmed the squares and Ronny primed the whole ceiling. Now we just have to caulk and paint it.  On Friday, Dad ordered the new windows for beside the fireplace.  They will be rectangular instead of the slanted look that is there now.  We are also re-placing the carpet in this room and have to paint it (Nomadic Desert).  

Dining Room

Mom and I added another coat of the brown paint to the dining room and put the first coat of white on the bottom part of the wall.  We have to come in and put another coat of paint on it before it's finished.  Mom also shortened the blinds in this room and we replaced the chandelier!  As soon as the floors are refinished and we can replace the shoemold and paint it and the baseboard we will be done in this room.

   

Living Room

Mom painted the trim in here, with the exception of the baseboards that will be done after we have the floors refinished.  She also shortened the blinds this weekend.  This room is ready as soon as we get the shoemold back up and the baseboards and paint them both.  We will also be adding a ceiling fan to that room.

(No picture, sorry)

Downstairs Bedroom "The Blue Room"

I am soooooooooo happy to announce that this room is 100% done!!!  The trim has been painted, blinds shortened, fan cleaned off, lights replaced in fan and carpet steam cleaned.  Now all I need is to move my furniture in here!!! I cannot wait!

Downstairs Bath

Nothing else has changed in this room since Jennifer and I removed the glass shower doors a few weeks ago.  We are going to be changing the sink and countertop in this room.  Although it is pretty to look at, I do not want to clean a brass sink every week.  So we are going to do a cultured granite top and have the sink poured in so it's all one piece.  I am very excited about this decision!

Kitchen

The kitchen hasn't had much change over the past week or so.  We added some sheetrock back to where we ripped it out because of a leak.  We will be putting the tongue and groove ceiling up soon and then adding the covers for the recessed lighting.  The cabinets have been picked out and we should be ordering them within the next few days.  From there it takes 12-15 days for them to be done.  We are hoping to have the kitchen floor tiled this weekend, but haven't had confirmation from the tile guys yet.

Sunroom

We took down all the beadboard in this room and put sheetrock up in it's place.  Other than that, we haven't changed much in here this week.

(The fan was covered while they were priming the den ceiling)

Master Bedroom

Carpets were steam cleaned and we cleaned the fan, air return vents and windows.  All that lacks is the trim being painted and blinds shortened for us to be done in here.

Master Bath

Ronny did some sheetrock work in here on Sunday and added some beadboard back up that had to be removed.  We are waiting for the cabinets for in here.  We also need to paint this room.

Rae Rae's Room

Carpets were steam cleaned and we cleaned the fan, air return vents and windows. All that lacks is the trim being painted and blinds shortened for us to be done in here.

Guestroom #2 Upstairs

This room needs new carpet, trim painted and blinds shortened and then it's done.

Upstairs Bath

This room was ripped apart with plumbing issues, so we need to redo some sheetrock, put the toilet back and have some tilework re-done in the shower.  Then I have to pick a color for this room and paint it.

Outside

The rocks are GONE!!!!!!!!!!  Pam came and picked up the last load this weekend and boy were we happy to see them go.  We still have some in the backyard, which we are going to leave, but they are all gone in the front and side yards.

The Polaris pump was replaced on the pool on Saturday and we can now vacuum the bottom and sides of the pool!  This has really helped to keep things mixed up and not letting everything settle on the bottom and give the false impression that it is clean.  We have also been running a lot of chlorine through the pool to help clear it up.  The pool will be saltwater once it's up and running, but for now we are just putting chlorine in it.

Another very exciting thing to announce is that our hardwood floors are being refinished today!!!!  I am so excited about this and cannot wait to go see them! 

Thanks to mom, dad, Ronny and Treva for allllllllllllllllll their help this past weekend.  An extra special thank you to mom and dad for being at our house working every night after work!  It means so much and we are so grateful that we have such wonderful parents!!!!!
