ok I think that's it for now- I can't figure out how to get the new pics off my phone :). But we're hoping to be in by the end of the month! yikes! I can't wait to post the "before and after pictures" :)
Thanks for looking!

Laundry Area!





We tore down the shelves and put in new flooring (that's what I'm cutting) and hooked up our washer and dryer and I got a FREEZER- which I am so excited about due to my new obsession with couponing- yes that's a verb :) We'll chat if I haven't told you about it yet :) :) http://www.jillcataldo.com/node/5 - here's a cool video on it :)
oh and we are going to build a big cupboard above the chest freezer- there's never enough storage!

My new kitchen!






This is us putting on new counter-tops, and putting in the new flooring. I was so excited about this hard-wood floor- I wanted to spend the night on it before it was even finished! Thanks Joe and the Muirs!!!




Ok- so here is a picture of the kitchen floor- One of the few things that we had decided was salvageable. Well, during the winter we left the water running so that the pipes wouldn't freeze (because its just that cold out here!). Unfortunately Trev was in school full time and I was working full time so some weeks we could only work on it during the weekends. One Friday we showed up ready to work and found the faucet sprayer had busted and was spraying water all over the kitchen- and had been for most of the week by the looks of it. We vacuumed up gallons and gallons of water, but the kitchen floor was destroyed and the wood underneath the floor was even warped from all the water... it was a hard day. ps- hurry and look at that goofy picture of trev before I get in trouble and have to take it off :)





we painted so long- trev thought I was going gray from it! :)
We also had to replace some of the floor boards that had a lot of water damage- We were pretty proud of ourselves when that was done!
