Christmas- moving and building...AAAaaaahhhhh

Home Sweet Home 2010

  Christmas day saw us out of the old house and into the new. Old house swept, steamed and bleached. One garage empty one to go. God bless you Mary McIntire and all those light bulbs. I hope your smiling from heaven up there. Wayne got your light bulbs moved today and he may have reached his breaking point on this last garage. Yesterday was Christmas though and Angie had to work from 6 am till 2 pm. Since yesterday her dad and I still liked each other we were busy little elves working hard to surprise her when she got home.




Remember this corner that would someday be Angie's room?

Here is the same corner as of Christmas 2010!!!!!

The Mantle Piece mirror now head board was a Christmas gift find from a local antique shop.




















The busy elves also hung her medicine cabinet- Maybe the only place I wish the cabinets were not oak- but it will work for now. I painted her shower ceiling and around her shower stall.
The grays were here choice. Lightest gray on her bedroom walls. med gray in her bathroom matches her bedroom ceiling and the darker oil based around her shower is around her bathroom window and will be on her vanity cabinet. White sink, chrome features. yep the oak will have to go.
 No pics but she also got a closet rod and shelf and a door knob.
Next will be 2 shower curtains. One will cover her shower and the other will cover that hot water heater next to it. Couldn't find anything gray local so I will look up north when we see Barbi.
 Her floor temporarily has self stick tiles down but we have enough white ceramic tile to do her floor when we have the funds to rent a wet saw to cut them. Heat Lamp and exhaust fan are in. Needs a timer for the heat lamp so that it can't be accidentally left on. 250W bulb. Thank you Mary for light bulbs that Wayne had to move today.
Another Christmas present was Angie new padded toilet seat.
Tell me Santa didn't have her on the nice list!!!
Moving has stressed us all to our limits but we are going to keep on keepin on, or kill each other trying!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!  Pam

Almost a house

Angie's Bathroom has plumbing

my room before

I am getting better at this plaster stuff

from the living room to my room

lets see some more of that hard wood

Some of my rooms furniture. It does feel better to see something moved. Everything is away from the walls to allow access for the electrician.

Now you saw my bedframe in my room. I cant move my mattress into my room till Angie has a room. Must not leave my children behind. So lets see her room.

Before

new floor and paint

tile going in

Thought we would finish this project Saturday but we had 8 hours of sewer issues instead.
 Got this far Sunday before we ran out of glue with the hardware store closed.



 One more in progress pic that we didn't finish Sunday. Rough weekend-

This is our other bath or will be. The shower tub and sink all are completely functional now. The toilet and floors are next.

 We are tired sore and overly emotional but we are plowing through. The end is in site and it looks like it will be a happy one.


Hope everyone's holidays are happy and construction free. Pam
