Our new hardwood before clearcoat...3 rooms worth

Kitchen progress as of Sunday

We're minus one cabinet that my hubby tore out because he was very
unhappy with it and we still don't have countertops...which will be
delayed an additional week or more because of the missing cabinet that
will need replacing. The floor guys hopefully got the first coat of
sealer on our floors by now...should get an update on their progress
later today. We're due to be back in the house Saturday afternoon, but
we won't have a fully functional kitchen for a couple more weeks at
least.

Update & time is running out

We're still in the midst of our remodel...most of our part is done, but now we're staying in a hotel for the rest of the week while our wood floors are sanded and finished. I'll post a pic of where things were as of Sunday later today or tomorrow. We also have to have one of the cabinets redone...and then the granite people have to come back out and do a new template. Almost seems like this will never be done, but hopefully we've seen the last of the snaffus.

Gosh I can hardly believe June is almost over!!! My birthday month is next month and I'm tryin' to talk my hubby into getting my b'day present a few weeks early, but he ain't biting. Lol!

Alrighty...I'm typing this while I'm waiting to pick Aiden up from summer day camp and it's almost time to go in and get him so I'd better get off my phone and head on in. Hope y'all are having an awesome Monday! xoxo

Cabinet install has begun... Hallelujah!!!

Tapin' maskin' fool...woo hoo!!!

carpet gone! yea!!

we removed all the carpet from our family room so we could have wood
floors put in...that way there would be a nice flow between the
entrance and the kitchen. there's so much traffic between our front
door and the kitchen that our carpet was looking pretty bad. my hubby
removed all the carpet and pads and i removed all the screws from the
particle board below it. we still have to remove the particle
board....gonna be some more backbreaking work!
