New Floors!

Our floors are in! We are very pleased with them. Its been very entertaining watching and hearing our cats get use to the floor. They tend to slide more than they use to :) After some miscommunication between the contracter and the workers, the floors were finished about 2 weeks later than what we would of liked.

Preparing for new floors!

We had to do a lot of work to get ready for our new floors, I just know that it will be totally worth it! We had to move everything out of the kitchen, dining and living room. We had to be creative on where everything was going to be stored.

The Fridge Switch

When Will moved up to Tacoma he left his fridge down in his little room where he works. The fridge we had was smaller and it had an issue, still worked, but wanted something a little newer. So, we needed to switch them before our floors got installed. It took a long time, because we also moved a bunch of items from Tacoma which we are storing at my parents place. Once the newer fridge arrived and we tried to put the fridge in the spot, but can across a problem... the counter was about 1 inch to long. Luckily our friend Bruce came to the rescue! He cute the counter, separated the glue from the cut piece and the finished edge and then reattached.

Sheetrock, drywall, oh my....

With our TV being mounted above the fire place, we needed to do some work to hide the wires in the wall and do some rewiring. So, Will has spent many hours cutting parts of the wall down, running the wires through the wall, moving some outlets, the cable box, etc. Once he finish that up, it was the fun part of figuring out to put new Sheetrock up, tape, mud, texture, etc. It has been very interesting, but its coming together nicely! My dad started to guide Will on the first part of the taping and mudding. Then our friend Bruce came and helped finish the rest of it!
