Rounding the corner

We are a week and half into this... I think...lol  but here are the latest pics of our adventure... I think we have rounded the corner and we can see light at the end of  the hallway!  :)  We have the main room left to carpet... but we seem to uncover another soft spot or run into technical issues with each project... but in a nutshell... here it all is...
I am beat so this is short and more pics than words... they can probably speak for themselves....



 They just paint and paint and paint...

 Why yes... it IS another soft spot!  lol


 Here is the boss... she is always in the middle of everything... not always a good thing, but she will never forget this adventure!






finished floor....


and then getting more painting in...


 Well in between sibling watching and baby sitting! 




I think we have painted everything!  lol  We have gone through 10 gallons of Kilz... from ceiling to floors... all walls and then the house paint.  I think the hallway and bathroom need ceiling paint yet...  but I tell you... painters are worth their weight in gold!  We are all a bit rummy from the smell of Kilz...  but the bad smells are gone and the house looks great!  We have about a gal and half of Kilz... that makes 12 gallons... but need to do the living room floor and the bathroom... but its another story...

 He is so not loving putting in carpet... it was a career he left 20 years ago... but here is ... putting in carpet in the little girls room... another great friend built the shelves for a makeshift pantry until he can build a "canning building"... for all my canning goods and gear...




new floor in the hallway... We are stalling on putting in the laminate until all the big stuff is in so we dont drop and ding up the new floors...

Yeah... I can do laundry!  Danny is still putting in shelves for us as we go.. and fiinishing closets and hanging rods... all after a long days work... We are so fortunate to have friends like these... we can never express just how much they all mean to us...

 can I pleeeaaaasssseee have the pepsi? 
 Kitchen is going in... although Woody has ran into snags there as well... but I am super happy with everything he has done... the sink is now functional and he told me as he left that countertops will be placed on Monday... I really hope he rests tomorrow... he needs it...everyone comes over and works so hard. 

the makeshift hang out room... love seat tv games and baby items... small fridge can go out soon... its been very useful up til today... now that the main fridge is in... yeah!  I can put the small one somewhere else...

More to come later... I am really tired and need to sleep... happy homesteading!
