Yeah! New carpet.

Warren really wanted red carpet. Oh boy was he excited when the installer put the pad down. Ever wondered what your house would look like with red carpet?

It nice to have a room almost put together. Looking forward to having the shelves finished. Greg is also building in a wood box underneath the shelves. Way cool!

TEACHING CHILDREN OR WHAT?

Am I the only one who shakes my head in wonder. I could have fed the cat and been done in 2 minutes, but no, we have chores around here. Of course these chores turned into more of a cleaning project. The boys really did have fun and the cat always thinks the food is best right out of the container:)

A little light remodeling......Hmmmm

Well, the demo has begun and we are living in our mess. We've done multiple projects. Here are a few pictures of our journey.

After smoking the house out the first morning, I have finally redeemed myself tonight. I'm almost too hot. Just had to document this for posterity!

Greg is tearing out the gas fireplace and is going to build a bench and shelving into the shell that is left. I can't wait to have a place to put the fire wood away.

My project for tonight was to tear out our old carpet in the living room. We are having it install downstairs tomorrow morning and new carpet will be installed in the living room on Monday. We don't want to get bored!
