House Update

The promised house pictures. Here is the living room as it was when we bought the house:

Here is the living room now:

Here was the living room a week ago.

Here is the original kitchen:

Here is the Kitchen now (notice how you can see into the bathroom)

Here was the kitchen a few weeks ago

Here is the bathroom. I couldn't find an original picture of the bathroom. It wasn't worth seeing anyway.

The bathroom is where our next focus is. We have a friend working with us in the evenings on the plumbing. We only have to replace the drain pipe now and we can insert our new shower. Then we have to do some wiring, put in the sheetrock, put in the tile, put in the toilet and sink, paint, etc and we are done. Sounds really manageable right :)

Audra and I had different reactions to ripping out the walls. I was really excited because it meant we just had to put everything back together. Audra thought that it made it look like more work. On a good note, we are only ripping off the walls in the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. So once we finish all those rooms it will be smooth sailing....???

We also managed to pick out our carpet, vinyl, and counter tops in the last week. A lot of people say that if your marriage can survive building/remodeling a house then it can survive anything. We are doing very well. We both like a lot of the same colors. Audra ruled out my fetish with brown from the beginning. I am still not convinced that grey is a good bathroom color. Other than that, we have agreed on most things very well.
