Before & After
Then And Now
Jun/13/08 09:09 AM
In some ways, not much has changed since we purchased the house. From day one it has been an adventure in organization. Normally, Kristin and I are very organized, well mostly she is but she keeps my organization skills in check. When does it become overwhelming? Probably when you are trying to keep up two houses and one of which is a construction disaster area. I found these 2 photos interesting in that, the floors and cabinets have changed, but the mess... It's still the same.
On another note, this weekend we are doing some more painting and hopefully the guys are coming to install our stair treads and risers. Been going on about 3 weeks now waiting for them, but really it's ok because we're not in any major hurry. If they finish it's just another check we'll have to write, and our checkbook seems to be running out of checks.

Hardwood Floors Before And After
May/19/08 08:59 AM
Before.
After.
This weekend was a huge weekend. We got our hardwood floors installed and our doors hung. Since then I’ve been driving myself crazy with the floors, being overly careful not to wear work shoes on them and obsessing about every little imperfection. I’m still not sure if one little spot was from a manufacturing defect or from where the door was installed.
The other little spot was my fault, I dropped a piece of door hardware on the floor and it made a 1/4” dent in the wood. I’ve been just sick about it. Fortunately, it will be under the dining room table, but sill, I will always know it’s there.
We’re getting close. Today I’ll be taking half a day off from work to lay the tile in the bathroom. Kristin will be picking up her sister and her sister’s husband from the airport. I made double sure that he has plenty of plumbing supplies and, oh I dunno, maybe a couple extra paint rollers. You know, just in case.
Also, thanks to all our friends and family who donated wood flooring to us through the link on this website. The floors look fantastic!
