As we are getting closer to the end of the remodelling, or I like to hope that we are, I thought that I would add a few pictures and give an update. As of today, I have 2.5 partially working bathrooms, YAY! We have all the flooring that we are going to finish done for now. We have fell in love with how well the refinished 'old original flooring' looks, so have plans to have our flooring contractor return in August while we are at the State Fair and finish the dining and living room. We have purchased a new area rug and will have take up the old carpet and prepare the floor for him to do this while we are gone. Looking forward to it! We carpeted the three new kids rooms, haven't made any decisions on the two bedrooms that are in the orginal house, they both have hard wood under them and carpet that isn't in that good of shape, we could use new flooring in our kitchen as well..............so when we figure out if we have used up our loan money, that will probably help us decide what flors get more work and which things get added to the 'to-do' list....... hoping we can afford to do them all. I can't wait to get kids reshuffled to their rooms, the odds and ends 'projects' for updating their furniture done, etc............but is it ever ALL done, nope, not so far. Guessing that won't ever change either! Well I have door frames that need to be varnshed calling me from the basement, I should probably go and spend some time with them.
Thinking I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and hoping its not a train,

PS--the picture of the 'hallway' is the original old hard wood floor, the pic with wood flooring AND carpet is all new stuff, and the vanity is in our new 'half bath'

Well, as soon as I get back to work and make some money, we are going to remove all the carpeting in our house and replace it with laminate flooring. I love that stuff.
I know how excited you all to be able to spread out. Enjoy.

Thanks Mylene, but this isn't laminate. Part of it is the 60 yr old original hardwood and out in the new part is tongue and groove 'new' hardwood, compare the prices, we didn't think that for the cost difference we could go wrong with hardwood, I think its going to wear like iron..........yes we are loving 'spreading out' in fact all four kids are in different rooms tonight! :)
