Progress

Here's what the kitchen looks like today!




Next steps? Primer and paint today, then tomorrow the floor guy comes. While the poly is being put down I say we hotel it for three days, Dean says we just live in the basement for three days. Money is an issues since every last penny is being put into the kitchen so we'll see. Next week we'll be ready for the cabinets. Ahhh but will the cabinets be ready for us? NO! Two to three weeks left for those!

Ah, yes. That was us a couple of months ago. We've been stuck here for the last couple weeks. Close enough to touch, but not functioning, unless you count sticking a crockpot on the countertop. Our mantra these days: almost, almost, almost

I'd do the basement thing if you can stand it for 3 days. (You can still get to your bedrooms and bathrooms, right?) We spent a couple long days hanging out in the back yard when the dry-wallers were doing their thing right between Christmas and New Year's.

Cindy, in the basement we have access to one bathroom, and one bedroom. It's a walk-out, but with snow here it's pretty difficult to get the kids out that way.

Ooh, that's tough. And in a Minnesota winter, no less. The hotel idea is sounding pretty good now.
