We are currently in the middle of a smallish remodeling project involving a couple of rooms in the house.
After Ayla's party on Sunday Craig moved the furniture out of the living room, tore up trim & carpet & started putting in a couple of layers of plywood. Tomorrow we are having hickory wood floors installed! The kids have loved the extra space to hula hoop the past few days.
Here's what our dining room looks like. It's sort of annoying to me have the house so torn up, but the kids think it's great fun to eat on the couch.
Our kitchen is a mess too. A couple of weeks ago we painted the walls & paneling in the entryway and kitchen. Before Craig started the wood floor prep he was working on sanding the cabinets. When that's done they will be painted as well. It's hard to see the colors in this photo, but I'll post more as we go along. Exciting stuff happening around here!

C'mon Girl, where's the details? What did he find under the carpet... did he have to replace the plywood, insulation... (sigh) guess I'll just have to ask Craig on Fri eve. :) You got a mess now, but remember the upside. No more 'swaying' emblems. :)
That must have been quite the party! :) You will love your new floors & cupboards!
haha, gary. i never thought ouf it that way before! so under the carpet was plywood toenailed together (i don't know what that means, but that was the term i heard). underneath that was styrofoam insulation. that's it. no wonder things were swaying that shouldn't have been! craig put two new layers of plywood down. screwed the 2nd layer into the first. it feels pretty steady now. now we wait for the kreiger's to come work their magic!
you're going to love wood floors..if we didn't love our l.r. carpet so much i'd probably want wood! Enjoy!
So we're gonna have to take off our shoes now? Means I will have to wear matching socks in my boots! :D
it should be ok for shoes by the time you're back here, gary!
