Complete?

It's almost complete.
Thomas and Dana have all of their things moved in, but will be working on putting things where they want them for a few days still. They will be creating the "home" out of the "house".
No more pictures from me on this, because it is no longer my place to go and photograph that home.
If you would like to see it, I'm sure they would love a visit. (stop by and see us first and we'll take you there so you don't get lost :)

The Bathroom is looking better all the time.

Photos taken February 16th, 2009

Installing the tub and shower. Some might be surprised to see a tub, cause Thomas and Dana really didn't want to have a tub - just a shower. We purchased a shower, but the dimensions were not compatible with the space needed for a window, so we had to return it and purchase a tub/shower combo.

Putting the silicone on the back splash. The mirror is up. More to come in a day or two.

More is being done than can be shown!

The bathroom is getting worked on.
We are waiting on better photos to show, but we have the new window in, the sub floor redone, and the vinyl is down.
The lighting and heating is getting worked on too, and is almost done.
We are working on it, but have fewer hours in the day this week due to chemo treatments.
I'll try to keep up with the photos better this week than I did last week.

Flooring Continues!

JoLyn Farrer came in the morning to help wash the master bedroom walls, and had some fun ideas to share with Dana

Terry helped a few minutes with carpet laying, but Thomas really did it all

The other bedroom was done first, but then things were stored in that room, making the picture not really possible
