Christmas Time!

Not Home Improvement stuff really, but it's very time consuming setting up these little Chirstmas houses!

Boring Stuff - but Time Consuming

I spent a lot of today repairing holes and cracks in the kitchen. Which means tomorrow, I will be sanding away.

James finished putting up all the drywall going into the downstairs bathroom. Now we have to prep that for paint. We're getting there...slowly.

A Microwave Is In!

Today, James and I installed the microwave in our state of the art kitchen! James also installed the last of the countertop. Tomorrow's mission is to try to get the backsplash in.

Before microwave and countertop...

After!

Hopefully the backsplash will make this area look a little better!

Starting To Look Like A Kitchen!

The stove and dishwasher don't work quite yet, but they are where they are suppose to be!

Tom asks "What's this Mommy?" I respond, "It's an oven Thomas. Someday, I might use it."

A Light in the Boys Room!

We spent Veteran's Day in the boys room. James wired up all the outlets and installed this beautiful light fan. The same one will be in the spare room and our room someday.

Finished Cabinet Installation - Finally!

After about 3 months of starting to install our cabinets, we finally put the last 2 in. The problem with these two were that there were no studs behind them. They are each only 9 inches wide. The studs are 18 inches apart and it was just our luck that these cabinets did not fall in front of a stud. So we had to knock holes in the wall to build supports.

James lining up the cabinet and screwing it to the other one.

Taking off the wall so we can nail in a wooden support.



Ta Da! James did it! We still have to install the countertop but we can do that another time! It's nice to have these finally up and our upstairs hallway cabinet free!

Since James was on a roll, he hooked up the back kitchen light. He drank a lot of coffee today.
