Home/Construction zone

As many of you may know, We have been remodeling out condo.  We have lived here for going on 3 years now and it has been a construction zone most of that time.  The kitchen has no cabinets, the entire downstairs is flooring free ( walking on the slab). The staircase was taken out and the wall beneath it ripped out too.  The carpet up stairs in the loft and the hall is gone too.

Over the weekend I finished installing the new stairs and today hope to finish putting the fireplace surround back in w/ the electric insert. Just in time for the cold.

The downstairs bathroom should be mostly back together tomorrow.  Russ is painting the walls in there today and the plumber comes to set the toilet tomorrow.  Yeah.

If I can find a truck I hope to get the sheets of wood to build the wall under the stairs this week then I can put in the new floor just in time for Thanksgiving.  Wish me luck.

In this entire ordeal I have shopped Home depot, Lowes, Menards, and the dreaded Wal Mart.  Over all I have gotten the best service from Lowes, although not the best price.  But for customer service I recommend them highly.

I am very excited about getting the downstairs done.  I want to decorate for Christmas, tree and all.  It has been so long since I've have a nicely decorated tree and all the trimmings.

If all goes well we should be able to get the new kitchen cabinets in this month or early December.  Fingers crossed.

We do invite volunteers. 

I will post some "after" pics when all is done.
