Update on our home

I know that it's been two weeks since my last update, but last week was so busy that I couldn't seem to find the time to post the pictures that I took last weekend. So here they are. Last weekend we prepped the floors for the stain, stained them and got ready to start to coat them with poly urethane. Sounds easier than it was trust me. Here is what we had to show for it.

All prepped and ready for stain.

All stained and just waiting for the poly.

Mike after staining most of the house. Notice how his hand looks like it belongs to a Mexican?? Got to love what staining does to your body when it's left on too long.

Floor is FINALLY finished. It was a VERY long process, but looking at it now, it was really worth it. The floors look amazing!!

This is what Mike spent most of today on....trim. Our hope is to start trimming the house out this weekend, and finish it Friday, so maybe, just maybe we can start to move stuff in next weekend. But there is still another bundle of trim that needs to be painted, and the crown molding needs to painted as well, so we will see.

This funny looking things are the corner pieces for the crown molding that will go in the kitchen. They needed a coat of primer before they got painted, that way we won't have to paint them too much.

This is the final thing we did today. Mike changed out the kitchen light for this one that we found on clearance, which makes it that much better. It was totally amazing how just changing a simple thing, such as a light totally changes the profile of the room. It's finally starting to look like a home.
