New Floors, and Other Home Improvements

Monday, May 31, 2010
The new floors are now in, and I've replaced the yucky industrial heat registers with nifty new brass ones. Here's Boogie, modeling the new kitchen. He doesn't care much for it - his paws slip on the surface, and he can't tear around the way he used to without wiping out.


Here's the downstairs bath/laundry room:


Here's the master bath:


And the guest bath:


Sorry for the quality of the photos - my camera is fixing to give up the ghost. I've asked for a new one for my birthday, but until then, I'm stuck with what I've got.

Now that the nifty new floors are in, we're noticing other things that need attention - like paint. Lots and lots of paint. Since my school schedule will be somewhat light this summer, I expect I'll be spending that extra time taping and painting. I've already bought paint for the guest bath, which really is in the most dire need of attention.

The never ending project that is home ownership - isn't it FUN?

I just came in from mowing the lawn and plan to work on the bathroom in the basement later, so yes, the To Do list never ends. :)

Mmm, brassy. Yep, just had the "So now that we have gainful employment again, what projects should we attempt soon.." conversation.

It's never ending. If you do it right.

My wife has told me the bathroom sink in the guest bath, must be replaced.

I hate plumbing.

I've got to replace the kitchen floor, but that means moving the counters, which means new counter tops, which as long as we're at means we need all new appliances because the new Wolf oven/stove will be larger than the existing stove.

But first, the roof needs replacing.

And then...


Nice floor, Janiece.
