We have CARPET!!!! (11/24/15)

The carpet downstairs and on the steps came today!!!!  It turned out so nice, I am so happy with it and excited to be at this point!  Feels so good to only have basically trim and little things left to do!  

It finally feels like we've moved in after 5 years!  

Steps are ready for carpet (11/22/15)

Today Mike glued down all the dark colored side treads and white backer pieces.  He also made larger treads to go over the existing and match the new height of the side darker pieces.  We are now ready for our carpet to get here on Tuesday!  Yay can't wait!!

Side Trim Boards on Steps (11/16/15)

Today Mike put up the trim boards on the sides of the steps.

I got a good start on staining the treads for the steps.

White Face on Steps (11/15/15)

Today Mike got all the end caps of the steps finished and he cut white pieces to put on the face of the steps.  I primed and painted the trim boards that go along the walls.

Putting the Steps Together (11/14/15)

Today we got more done on the steps.  I cut down the treads for the little part that will be stained dark and stick out from the carpet runner; Mike made the trim board for the other side of the steps.  

Steps & Jams (11/12/15)

Today I filled all the holes (from mounting) in the door jams throughout the house so I can start painting them.  Wow we have a lot of doors!

Mike got a start on one of the trim boards for the steps.  We will be getting the steps done prior to the carpet coming next week so they can put the runner on.

This board still needs to be notched for each of the stairs.

The Painting is DONE!! (11/11/15)

Today I finished the final coat of paint in the family room downstairs.  This was the very last room to be done and it feels so good to be done!!

Mike wired the outlets and I put all the cover plates on.  We also got the family room measured for carpet tonight; should be installed next week.  It's coming together!

They have all their tools to help Dad!

Final Gray Paint Going Down Steps (11/9/15)

Today I painted the final coat of paint on the wall going down the steps and at the bottom of the steps.  I also started the edging on the paint in the family room.

Family Room Ceiling Knock-down & Windows (11/7/15)

Today Mike sprayed the knock-down ceiling in the family room.  He also put in 2 new windows in the family room.

Family Room Floor Painted (11/2/15)

Today I finished painting the rest of the floor in the family room.

Family Room First Coat Painted (10/31/15)

Today I painted the first coat of paint in the family room.  I will edge and do the final coat after Mike sprays the knock-down on the ceiling.  

I am painting the old concrete floor in the family room because it is all sticky with old adhesive that was under tile.  I got some concrete sealer and have started with the back half of the family room since I need to do it in sections so we can get through the area.

This is the painted section of the floor

I also painted the wall around the window in the office.

We officially have no more bare sheetrock in the house!  Yay!

Family Room Ceiling Painted (10/30/15)

Today I painted the ceiling in the family room and the insides of the windows in the family room and the office window.
