More from renovation land

I am standing were my kitchen used to be. Prior to renovation this picture would of been of a wall.

Ed begins the tedious job of sand the floor. Check out our new windows on the left side of the picture.

Here is a picture taken the night before the sanding picture to show you what it looked like with out our new windows.

Mommy's little helper. We gave him this little roller while we painted. We painted everything above his head while he was awake and he 'helped'. Then when he was asleep we painted the lower half of the wall. It worked out very well.

Ed is finishing the sanding on the floor today. We had expected to be varathaning yesterday but had a little miss communication with our contractor. He recommended wiping the floor down with mineral spirits, Ed thought he meant with the mop that we were going to apply the varathane with. The floor got saturated, oops. This raised the grain of the wood so we had to go back for the floor sander. We decided this was not a bad thing this morning when we realized that the mineral spirits had pulled up a lot of dirt that we couldn't get out of the old wood floor. It looks a lot better. Time consuming but well worth the time since we do not want to do anything to this floor for quite a while.

Our cupboards are arriving this week and being installed. By Friday I expect we will have a kitchen. YEAH!!!!!

Gotta run, love you all Nikki
