Summer's end

It is now the end of August, and we have had a busy summer, lots of visitors. We welcomed family and friends and have enjoyed sharing our home.

Back in June, we were down to the wire getting things completed before Kristi and Kyle came to visit June 8th.  We also had Dan and Melissa and the kids here then too.  The bedroom carpet was laid on the 7th, and we were able to get the bedroom furniture moved out of the garage and into the bedroom.  We started to get our clothes out of our temporary closets, but still needed closet rods. (they are in place now, and we have pretty much moved our things in.)  We will be getting the final boxes from storage this weekend.

Master Bedroom

Also completed just in time, the master bathroom plumbing, and the plumbing for the lower level bathroom.  Countertops have been installed in the bathrooms and the kitchen.

While visiting, Kyle and Dan helped move furniture from the storage unit and helped set up the dining room.

They also moved Bill's office furniture, etc. to the new office on the lower level.  Thanks guys!

As the summer progressed, we continued to fix and complete projects.  New furniture was added, some pictures have been hung.

New counter stools.



New rug, chairs, ottomans, plant



This is the view from the dining room now.



Rec room, the chairs open out to become bed for Bella and Grey.



Next phase to come sooner than we planned.  We will be renovating the front driveway and landscaping--we had a leak in a pipe leading water into the house, so now we have a temporary pipe above the ground.  There is always something!
