January 31: tile-ready

The floor in the new room is now tile-ready!

The tile is scheduled for delivery at the end of the week.

(And, apparently, my camera lens is scheduled for a spot cleaning.)

January 22: prepping for tile

 

We started putting down HardiBacker to prepare the floor for tile.

And, again, my two sentries keep eye over the supplies.

January 9: bedroom flooring begins

We started on the floor in the upstairs bedroom...

the part around the closets will be saved for another night!

January 1: a new year

We know how to throw a party!

To start 2011, my man started hanging gutters on the addition...

...and he raided the shed for leftover laminate flooring.

Blessing #6 has designated herself sentry to the boxes.

And when she's not working, Mowgli dutifully keeps watch.

December 22: fan club!

Today was fan day!

...in the new room...

...in the entryway...

(whoa! Crazy CJ way up high installing a very big fan!)

...and in the attic room...

December 21: opened up

Today they took down the temporary board
that was in the old kitchen window....

This was, of course, the one day I hadn't gotten
the dirty dishes into the dishwasher!

Plastic came down, too, and everything is all opened up! 

Getting ready to repaint the old bedroom....

A before picture of our window in the entryway...

The collared-up cat hanging out on the saw table!

December 20: painting inside

We spent another day out of the house while they were painting. 
Then we came home and opened all the windows
-on a cold, wintry day-
to air out the house!
