The rest of the colors....house is almost done!

So we are getting closer to getting done with the house. There are some things we will have to finish after we move in. (Which is going to be THIS saturday!) But for the most part it's livable. so here it goes!bathroom with tile and vanity in
boys room, please wear protective eye gear when looking at these walls

Khloe's room

front room

Kitchen

I would do the other view but the accent wall isn't painted. Most of the doors are on the cabinets, Brett just forgot to take a picture of the kitchen before we left tonight.

Tile in the bathroom and two new colors!

Here are the colors for the bathroom. I wanted blue because my towels are blue but Brett said it was too cold so we decided on green and beige, I think with the tile it turned out really great! In the shower will be granite but obviously it's not up yet. The beige color will also be in the front room and hallway. Great job BRETT!!

Stolen!

Just when I think the human race is starting to redeem itself, something like this happens. At the beginning of October, Woods Cross did their fall clean-up. So we put a bunch of stuff out. One night there was a note on our door saying these guys did a metal pickup for free. We assumed that our plumber knew these guys and had told them about all the pipes he had taken out. We called the guys and told them there would be a bunch of metal out on the strip for them to pick up. They came and picked all the pipe, the stove, dishwasher and sink that was left out there. Last night our plumber is at the house looking for the supplies to hook up the gas line for the stove. Brett and Tim can't find it anywhere. Brett noticed there were other things missing too. Some roof flashing and some of Tim's tools and other supplies. Brett asked Tim about the two guys that left the note and Tim said he had no idea who they were. So this is what we think happened. These two a$$holes jumped our locked gate, snooped around our open garage, took the most expensive supplies and tools and then left a note on the door to pick up the metal they also noticed while they were snooping. We filed a police report but since we can't say it was them and we didn't see them take anything, the police can't really do anything about it. But I know what comes around goes around and these two will get their's one day. Sorry for the rant but it really makes me mad.

Bought paint

Brett and I took some extra supplies back last night and bought 20 gallons of paint. I was thinking of putting some color samples on the blog but I think that I will make you wait!! I believe we are going to start today!! We need to paint the bathroom first and then we can tile the floor and have a real bathroom again! WHOO HOO!! More (colorful) pictures soon!!

Sheetrock in the kitchen and dining room

We are really coming along on the house. It's starting to look like a real house instead of a bare bones building.

Brett and I put up this wall of sheetrock all by ourselves
Wil came over and helped us with this wall

Into the kitchen

Ceiling already up and first later of mud on.

WE ran out of sheetrock so we will finish tomorrow and according to our schedule we will only be behind a couple of days!

Next, mud and sanding, more mud, sanding and then painting, tile work, cabinets and finishing the bathroom

we still need to buy countertop, sink and disposal, paint and crown molding and baseboard

Whew!

Some house stuff

We have been working on the house but not doing anything REALLY big. Brett let me patch the holes in the boys room and in our room. I also got to patch a hole in the front room wall. I did most of it myself with alot of help from Ryan. Brett and I also laid the tile in the dining room so we could cut all the pieces before hand so when its really time to lay them we don't have to stop and cut them. It looks great!my patch work in the boys room
my patch job in the front room, just need to tape and mud

Movin' right along

After buying the tub sunday morning, Tim the plumber came and set the tub. Sweet!All the eletrical wires for one wall in the kitchen. It really is amazing what Jason does. It's kinda hard to see the wire but there is a TON of it
Ryan came over and helped Brett put the backboard and green boared in. Brett wanted to celebrate last night because Ryan also got the first coat of tape and mud in the bathroom.

The tub. Once the last round of mud is sanded we can paint and start to tile

Dining room ready for sheetrock

Since there's not really anything for me to do right now (I did fix a hole in the wall with sheetrock, I learned to use the chop saw too, but I'm not quite ready to use the nail gun) I started cleaning out the window sills and tracks. All the windows on the first floor that open have two windows. Not two panes, two different windows. One more surprise for this house. It is nice though because it's better insulated (I guess)

Thanks to everyone that has helped, especially Hailey for letting her husband come over so much and helping!

Framing in the Kitchen and Bathroom

We are moving along a little quicker now that we have set a deadline for the sheetrock and the electrical to get done by the 15th of this month. Brett and Ryan got all the framing done for the kitchen, dining room and bathroom. Brett and I and the kids went to Home Depot this morning (way too early) to buy a tub (so the plumber could set it this morning), a toliet and a vanity. We didn't spend that much. I also bought the cabinets yesterday. That cost a pretty penny but its going to be worth it once it's done. I will take pictures of the tub tomorrow because Brett forgot the camera. I think I'm going to start packing stuff up that we don't use very often and start moving boxes over so that when we do move at the end of this month it will be furniture and big stuff. Just trying to help as much as I can!! there was also another mystery chimmny but this one popped out of the wall. Austin and Tyler broke it out so the boys could frame that wall. It's behind the black plastic vent for the furnace in the picture below.

Thanks Ryan, Austin, Tyler, Jason and Tim for your help

Kitchen Framed

Dining Room framed (my awsome bro-in-law peeking)
