Bluegrass & Buckeyes: Did You Miss Me?

Well, while I intended to keep posting on the blog every day during the week, it looks like that isn't going to happen. School is just keeping me too busy. Who knew there would be this much busy work in Graduate School?

Anyway, work is still going on at the house. We're progressing slowly but surely. I finished up with the tile in the guest bathroom last weekend while my Dad and Step-Mom were up. It looks great, but we still need to grout it and seal the grout.

We also got the new vinyl tile floors laid. We decided to go with the self adhesive ones to save time. And, if in the future we want to replace them with ceramic tiles, it will be easy to do. Oh, and the best part of getting the floors down? It meant we could install the new toilet as well! We can pee at the house again! No more driving down the street to the park to go to the bathroom.

Dad and Landon also framed up the pantry and the broom closet along the back wall of what was the dining room. Dad even got all the drywall hung before he went home. It really started making the main area take shape.

This was before we got all the drywall up, but you can see how it looks.

And the ceiling fan from the dining room is gone.

While the guys were doing that, Kathy and I were finishing up painting in the guest bedroom closets so we can get the floors down. We got one closest totally painted, and one primed. Just a coat of paint to finish that one off. Oh, and Landon and I got a ceiling fan up in the middle bedroom which looks great.

Pretty, cleanly painted closet.

And, yes there are globs that go on the lights. They aren't installed yet.

And, we got a huge delivery.....The floors came in! All 2000+ sqft of them. Three whole pallets. They've been sitting for a week now, so as soon as we get the last little bit of painting done in the bedrooms, we can start laying floor!
