It's about time!

I know it's been forever since I last updated this blog... things have been crazy. And to top it all off- I'm sick again.. It's ridiculous! Maybe it's allergies.. whatever it is I would really like to stop waking up every 3 hours because I can't breathe!

Below are a few pictures showing the bare floor. No more carpet!Since the front room ended up being taken apart.. some of the smaller items that were in there are now crammed into the office for short term storage.. so now I'm back to having a house that is a big mess again.

So, the wood flooring, the cabinets and the plywood & floor boards were all delivered the Friday I last wrote.

The flooring was delivered first at about 11:30. Thank goodness they unloaded that themselves! Believe me it was worth having to pay extra for the delivery.

The plywood and floor boards arrived about an hour later. Let's just say- that wasn't much fun unloading that and putting it in the house. I got 2 big splinters in the process but I sure am glad it's done now.

The cabinets came last and it actually turned out that everything came in just the right order that day. There are about 9 more boxes that go along with these 4 big ones that hold the shelves and misc. wood pieces. It's all taking up a huge chunk of the front room.

Kent's been helping to install Boston's cupboards so he couldn't start on mine last week. He did however come over yesterday for a couple hours and we took all of the cupboards out of the boxes and he stood them all up. He moved the light switch in the kitchen so it would be out of the way of the cupboards, and he built and installed one of the base's for the cupboards. (I'm having them raised in the kitchen to match the height of the ones that are up now. - I won't have him do that for the washroom ones since it's just extra work.) I had to go to Home Depot yesterday morning to get the 2, 2x4's he needed as well as the plastic underlay for the flooring. While I was there I got some black spray paint to re-paint the front door. I got 2 bottles.. I should have gotten 3. I re-painted the front door yesterday. It looks better than it did before, but it could still look better.. I'm done re-doing it however so it is what it is. I went back to Home Depot again last night to pick up some screws that Kent needs to install the cabinets, as well as to get some dry wall mud to fill in the hole created by the old outlet space. He said I could do that part myself- so no judging my fill in spot that you can see above. It doesn't look as bad in the picture as it does in real life! lol - I'll save the texture and fixing for Kent to finish.
