Once again, these pictures were uploaded in the wrong order. Sorry. These first pictures are the ones from upstairs. We moved everything out of our bedroom and Alex's room so they can start ripping and tearing today. Looking at our bedroom makes me embarrassed that we actually slept there for all these years. What an improvement is ahead!

I also have uploaded the same picture twice and cannot remove it. I think it's a little too early to be doing this. I am just avoiding the painting I guess. Anyway, you get the idea. You're smart people.

Okay, this wasn't the best update ever, but it's going to have to do. I have cleaning and painting and dumpster deliveries, and oil changing in my car and cooking and laundry and clearing out the bathroom to do today. First, I think I'll go back to bed. :)

Now scroll down further and read the beginning of the blog. Oh brother!

Our bathroom is 2/3 functional now. Isaac christianed it with the first shower a couple days ago. (Please don't tell him I posted this picture - he won't be too happy)

We are still waiting for the infamous countertop to arrive so they can hook up the sink. But it looks pretty much like a bathroom. The trim work is almost all done, the door is up, I have bought hooks and a toilet paper holder and a mirror. There is some painting to do around the door and some touch ups around the shower and shelves, but all in all, it's done.

Today, we start upstairs. Our bedroom has been moved to the play room. My he-man husband moved some furniture to the attic, some to the playroom, and some to the garage. He went up and down steps all day on Saturday. He didn't ask for help (!). He's a little sore now. The ripping and tearing will start today.
