Wow, it's really coming along, Gutter. Great pics again and your DF is soooooo handy. Wow, I can't believe he is doing that major renovation all by himself. Great job!!!!! Smile/happy

Skyllar, he did have his dad help him since Wednesday, but he's leaving later today Cry

Back to the grind once he leaves. DF is sooooo exhausted, they have done sooo much!!

I plan on making a collage of before and after once it's pretty complete.

Oh that is a fab idea, Gutter!!! The collage will be a great thing to look at the progress of things. I love seeing the updates. Almost makes me feel like I am right there looking at things! lol

Wow and I thought my kitchen renovation was crazy. You are doing a complete remodel. I bet it will be beautiful.

Our countertop is stretched from the den blocking the steps and into the living room. Isaac thinks he has his very own tunnel to crawl through.

LOL, the joys of a 120 year old house!! We actually have more reno to do in the near future 'sigh'....

This is the major reno/demo, we hope this will save us in heat now, seeing as our furnace was pretty much in the basement 'outside', now the room will be insulated and used as our laundry/entrance. I'm sooo pumped, once it's at least finished rooms, we'll be able to open it up to the rest of the house and use the laundry room and entrance. We always used the back door as our main door, hate using the front door.

Oh Gutter, you must be going out of your mind with all that work going on. I know I was when we were having our bedroom renovated and that only took a week. I hope it's done for when baby gets here!

Okay so nothing new, but thought I'd post updates. The cabinets should be here very soon, still need to get Audrey's sitter to come over and paint for us, for DF to put down one more layer of flooring and then then the linoleum and then we can install the cabinets.
