| This is the new vent which replaced the one in the wall we cut out. |
The vent pipe off of the main heat vent. |
Here is our new pony panel for the kitchen circuits. |

| The kitchen vent. |
Jenny sanding the hard wood floors. |
I had to rip the hard wood in this closet to get this vent in. No walls ever line up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The vent ended up coming up right in the middle of the closet, so we had to cut some of the floor beams to get this in. |

| Our sanded stairs. |
Sanding the floors was a real bitch. Hire a pro, it's worth it. |
What the hell is going wrong with this floor! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is what happens when you don't sand enough. Notice the circular swirls. With the stain on you sure can see them. |
Damn, time to call in the pros. |
What the hell. We spent the last 4 days sanding this floor for what? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oh well, might as well finish the drywall and wiring.. |
Time to mud. Notice the particles in the air. |
Egghead Jenny. I don't think she is all that level headed. |

| We finally got the other side of the wall back on. |
The painting troup. Working hard. |
Smile, you're painting. |

Who is that masked painter. |
This is our new baseboard. We are replacing the baseboards in the entire house. |

| Painting with their ass. These girls have a lot of talent. |
Before installing the tile, we had to screw in about 1000 screws into our floor. You have to make sure that you remove all the squeaks. |

The tile guy hard at work. We just got the kitchen cabinets back in the weekend before. Thanks Ron! |
The tiles getting put in. It's nice to get someone else to do the work. |

This is just after the professional stained the floors. At this point we were not happy. |
The leopard skin look in the floor was not what we expected. |
|

| Once the matte finish went on we loved the floors. What a stressful time. |

Moving Day! We moved in on July 30th. The house was not yet done but close enough. All the floors were done and a lot of the painting was done. Here are John and Nuyanne putting up blinds. |

| Here is Lynda in the kitchen. Still no counter, sink or walls but this will be done in short order. |

| We decided to move the dragonfly tile from one spot to another. When we took one tile off, we ended up taking most of the plaster off with it. |
So, we had to mud it up so that we could put in the dragonfly tile. |

| Building an arch was a lot of fun. Karl and I had a good challenge building this. |
We built the frame by tracing out the shape from another arch. |
To get the rounded drywall, we just sprayed it with water and bent it into shape. |
|

| Another picture of our arch. |
This is what it looks like after a lot of mud. |
Here I am mudding a corner. More to come. Stay tuned. |
