The Stroud Family: Getting there....

Since my last update we have made even more progress! Friday and Saturday we had our kitchen floors tiled. They look AMAZING!!! What a nice change from the laminate that was in there. :-) We still have to get them sealed, but are waiting until we are done w/ construction in that area to seal them and the floor in the sunroom. Saturday, Ronny and Kenny caulked the coffered ceiling in the den and then Ronny painted it. After it dryed we put our ceiling fan back up. I am SO happy with this ceiling. It really looks amazing!!! Dad worked on Saturday at trimming out the windows in the sunroom. We need to get a new door leading out of the sunroom to the deck, so dad hasn't been able to finish that side of the wall yet. Kenny and Ronny primed the trim that afternoon as well. I worked on misc. things in the house including replacing face plates/air return vents/etc. and of course, cleaning the pool. :-) Dad and Kenny also took the handrail and spindles down on the upstairs portion of the stairs in preparation for the hardwoods to go in. Another exciting thing that happened Saturday is that we finally moved our first truck load full of furniture over. It wasn't much, just Rae Rae's bed, chair, lamp and a few toys, but I am soooo happy to have something in one room now.
Sunday we were moving a bit slow after having a few friends over the night before. However, we were still able to get a lot done. Ronny worked on the sheetrock in the sunroom and our master bath. Then he painted both rooms. Dad and Kenny worked on some plumbing and electrical stuff. I worked on cleaning up in the den and throughout the kitchen/sunroom.  Sunday afternoon, Kenny and I mowed our yard and then hung out by the pool with Audrey. It was a nice day and Audrey was having a blast splashing on the bench in the pool so I let her get in her bathing suit and get all wet. By the end of the afternoon, Kenny, Audrey and I were all in the pool (me in my work clothes). It was cold, but it was so nice to get in.
Monday the guys came back to put the final coat on the hardwood floors downstairs and they laid and stained the hardwoods in the upstairs hallway.  Also on Monday Trugreen came out and applied the first treatment on the front yard. I am so anxious to see the yard looking good and weed free!!!
Tuesday night kenny and I went by the house and checked on the pool. We were so happy to see that the pool had cleared up even more and that now you can see the bottom in the deep end!!!! Woooohooo! This is very exciting!
This morning I stopped by the house since I could finally walk on the hardwoods to get upstairs and see the new hardwoods they laid on Monday. I am so happy with them!!!   They turned out great! Now we just have to get the new railings up and it will be perfect!
Thanks to Ronny and Dad for helping us AGAIN this weekend. We really appreciate it!
