Making Progress

Tonight we continued to work in the bathroom. We never found the water shut off valve thingy in our yard, so he had to turn off the water by the city's valve.

So tonight we removed the toilet, finished getting the old tile off the floor, John replaced the valves on the toilet and the hot and cold water, painted the linen closet walls, and got an idea of how we wanted to lay the tile.

I found a better picture of the bathroom before.

John assessing the situation...

Me getting old tile glue off the concrete.

New fake hardwoods. :) It was super cheap!!!!!!!

Goal for tomorrow:

* put up sheet rock

* put up bead board

* prep concrete with latex paint for better adhesion

* lay flooring

* place 2X4 in the wall for pedestal sink
* put up pedestal sink

We should be able to accomplish all of that in one night....right????

Also over the weekend I started working in the laundry room.
I found this picture of a laundry room that I really liked. It was bright and cheery and won't make me run from doing laundry! Anyways, here is my inspirational picture...

I love the turquoise with white & black & chrome accents!

Paint up and trim from behind the washer and dryer are out! Almost ready for bead board! When we were reading the directions, we learned that that wood has to stay flat for 72 hours before getting put up. So for now, the laundry is still not finished.

Me taking off the rest of that trim.

I let the girls draw on the walls were it would be covered by the wainscot. Presley was calling it her secret drawings that were going to be hidden.

Juliet helped her daddy out cutting the new trim that goes around the doors.

Old trim...I'll post a pic of the new trim when it is in place.

Bye Bye old trim!

So far, that's what we have done in the laundry room. I cannot wait for it to be done!

And on Saturday, Carl came over to help John finish up the girls bedroom. It isn't complete yet, but they did spend the day taping and bedding and putting up all of the sheet rock!

Carl....Master of taping and bedding!

Girls drawing in the walls again! They loved this part! Their art will always be apart of this house now!

John working on the outlets. I am so glad he is soooo handy!!!!

The room is looking more and more like a room!!!!

Here's the Monster stuff from Target that I liked.

So it's either going to be that or Yo Gabba Gabba!!!!!

Then we could all sing..."There's a party in Potty...."

Okey doke...it's late and I am sleepy.

Sweet dreams all!
