New Carpet

I am so excited, our new bedroom is almost finished we got 1 coat of paint on the walls tonight and will put the last coat on tommorrow night. After that is dried we are going to be getting the carpet done. It's here in the house now so I am hoping to get it down sometime this weekend. It's becoming so cozy down there, soon I will be able to put pictures on to show everyone.

renovation bliss

Our new bedroom is finally coming together, hubby is finishing up the drywall/primer coats tonight and we are planning on getting the paint for the weekend so we can get that done. Our carpet is already sitting here but we are waiting to put it down once the paint is done. It is so cozy looking and I can't wait to post before/after shots for you all to see.

Plumbing time

The plumber is supposed to be arriving this morning to remove the radiator from our former garage, now bedroom. It has a leak in it and we will convert over to electric for this room. Once this is all done we will be free to finish the walls and get the carpeting down. We have the carpet but wanted to wait until after all the plumbing was done and the mess taken out. Another step closer to getting the job done.

ANOTHER STEP CLOSER....

We are making progress with our new bedroom and today we finished painting the new bedroom door and the 2 closet doors. Tomorrow hubby has the day off so we will be going shopping to pick up a few things to get the heaters hooked up and pricing the drop ceiling. Once we get the radiator taken out of our room on the weekend we will be free to get the walls and carpet finished. I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it get done soon because we still have our pool to get set up for the summer!

Let there be light

I must have the most amazing hubby, after a long weekend of dance shows and running around we got home tonight around 8 and by the time the kids got showered and off to bed it was around 9. As you know we are working hard finishing our new bedroom, well he's working hard and I'm supervising, he looks that good. Anyway he was game enough to get the electrical run for my light in the closet/make up room. I had to reach way up and hit a little light he rigged up before. No longer, I walk into my little room and the switch is right there and the light is incredible, what a fantastic hubby I have.

Renovation Dissapointment :0(

Just got the call from the renovator and although we were expecting our work on the windows and garage door replacement to be completed today it will be delayed until next week. Someone is coming today to finish up the framing of windows but the siding didn't arrive and had to be re-ordered for next week. It can be frustraiting when you want the job done and it is delayed, especially the front entrance of your house looks like shambles. One good thing though is until all the work is completed and signed off on we don't have to start making any payments for the job.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW WINDOWS

Now that we have had a few estimates on new windows for the house we will have to decide who we will be going with to do the work. We are looking at another month or two before we will be getting it done so in the mean time we are still working on the family room renovation. The walls went up the crack filling and sanding is finished and the primer was put on the walls yesterday so other than a closet door we are at a standstill until we replace the garage door with a wall and window then we will continue on and finally have our family room completed for us to enjoy.
