day 3...

so it's day 3 of the house renovation and i'm feeling a bit sore. i know if I'M feeling sore, the guys must be dying. either that or i'm a really big wuss. let's go with that. so far, we've accomplished the following things, give or take a few:

drywalled the closet out of existence
flipped the basement stairs around
ran the electrical for the lights
painted the guest bedroom and main bedroom
cut 1/2 of the interior bathroom wall out
ripped up the kitchen flooring
removed all the cabinets
did something or other with the kitchen plumbing
a million other little things that i probably wasn't a part of

i must say, bryan and his dad are hard workers. they're pulling 16 hour days and are happy to do so. i'm just happy i don't have to pay them to work. life is a lot easier when you're married to a do it yourself kinda guy.

i've managed to do some fun stuff. i picked out a deep purple for one of the accent walls in the bedroom. i also found some really pretty curtains for the living room:





bryan has yet to see them, and i'm sure he'll hate them and i'll hear about it for the next 5 years of my life but i love them and hearing about it will be well worth it. i also got some pretty curtains for the bedroom but i couldn't find a picture of those, so you'll have to use your imagination.

we still have quite a lot to accomplish and only about 2 weeks to do so. they were able to re-rent our apartment, and now we have to be out by the 24th. that means not only do we have to make the house move in ready and kitty proof -we also have to pack up and clean our apartment. talk about a stressful couple of weeks.
