The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone....

... and so it goes with renovations.

I do have shelves in my pantry now.

The rest of the renos have slowed down considerably.

You know how it goes, every project is conected to the next next project. We need base boards, but, before we can do them we need to finish the flooring. Before we can finish the laminate we have rip out the carpet and do the tiles at the front door. We need to buy the motar and the grouting before we can do that. I don't want to rip out the rug if we can't get the flooring done before Cindi and Chloe come out. Can't have Chloe playing on a rough wood floor. So the saga continues. I would like it all done soon so that I can start working in the yard as soon as it's nice enough.

My pantry

This is the latest update on my pantry. I did paint the inside and am going to do the outside today. It seems to be taking a long time to get it done. So until this gets some shelves, the bed in Chloe's room is my pantry. I am not sure when I will get the fnacy shmancy door. We painted the living room on the weekend. All we have left to do is: rip out the carpet, do the laminate, tiles by the front door and in the bathrooms, paint all the doors and base boards and then a major cleaning and we should be done. Then there is the basement. I can't even think about that without getting a headache.

Renos - no pictures

Well the renovations are still moving along and keep growing. My new pantry is ready to be painted although I still don't have my door. I am waiting for a sale. We had all the holes in the living room fixed and now it's ready to be painted. We have to take out the old carpet and put in the laminate flooring. We thought it might be better not to have laminate right to the front door, so guess what ? We are putting in tile. We got a sale on some discontinued stock at Home Depot and got enough to do both bathrooms too. Renovating is like a slow moving fungus. It just moves through your whole house the minute you start. Almost everthing in the house needs to be replaced or updated. It will be nice when it is done. I am getting impatient already. In a month or so I want to be outside in my yard, not still painting inside.
As soon as I figure out Jen's camera and how to load pictures onto my computer I will have more pictures. I have done it before , I think my old brain has just forgotten again!
