All In A Day's Work

I describe today as busy and productive!

Floors have been ripped up.
Landscaping is being reworked.
Second coats of paint have been applied.
Two toilets have been repaired.
Two lighting fixtures have been installed.
Tree limbs have been cut and piled.
Old carpet has been hauled away.

Here are just a few pics. Mostly all before photos, but you can see a picture of the front of the home at least.




This landscaping bed is no longer like this. My friend Melissa and I worked on making some simple changes. I need to post a picture, but am trying to decide if I should wait until it is completely done, or just show you little steps along the way. Think "less is more!" I wanted to do something that was a little more eye catching.

Caleb and I ripped out the carpets from all three bedrooms the other night. When we did, we discovered some significant water damage/rot. So, today, with the help of Jason and Matthew, the sub flooring got torn out in preparation for new plywood and new carpet.
It's a scary mess in there...but, somehow, it makes me feel better because I KNOW it isn't going to stay that way. It will be fresh, and new!! Yay!

This is basically how we left the house looking tonight. Hopefully, by the beginning of next weekend we will have it looking quite differently!!

And, now, with all this in our day, I'm remembering right at this very moment, that we were supposed to go look at this ranch house for our family to stay in over Christmas...snap...probably gonna have to do that tomorrow. Sorry Nita and Grandpa!
