FINITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND...EXACTLY 3 months...OUR HOUSE IS COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!...things I didn't think about though - it's disgustingly dusty and there is SO much to unpack that it's going to take a few weeks just to move back in! Arg! So, excuse the mess which is...all over! and check out some pics of the finished house!

Since the other photos of the bathroom were basically at completion, here are just a few of the kitchen...and more to come once the basement is cleaned out.

Here are some views of the kitchen painted and shade in...!!! Door and trims ended up being painted black just for uniformity. There is a lot of organizing to do, but the dishwasher was run last night and seriously, I have no clue what I was thinking trying to do dishes by hand before!!!! BEST invention EVER. So much more storage which is super exciting!

(Below) Can you believe these are the basement stairs now???

and after all this time..., it's done!!!

now...when to celebrate...! Details to come!

Mid-September...

And since it's been a while I am apparently posting twice today..., here are the updated photos from the kitchen! We have appliances!! AND RUNNING WATER! People truly need to appreciate this.  Running water, a standing shower, toilets, etc.  This has seriously been a life lesson. haha...I laugh,...but really...

(Above): from the back of the house, left view of the island with our glorious sink that works!! The joy of seeing running water again...priceless.

(Below): from the back of the house, right view of the counters, microwave, and our oven.

September!!!

Hello September! HOW did the summer fly by so quickly! Busy busy busy and soooo fun, thus the delay in posting! :)

Rehab-wise, we are close to having a house again! We are nearly done with the upstairs bath, meaning we can ALMOST move back in to our room! (gasp)!! Here you can see the right & left sides of our new stand up shower (with body jets!), and then our sinks on the alternate wall.

We have our own sinks! FINALLY!

Set of windows in our bedroom, plastered, edged and newly repainted! They did such a great job with the edging, and it looks so clean and refreshing!!!

Totally random, but the back door leading to our garage/shed was a red handle-LESS (yes, we had to pull on a nail) old piece of wood basically..., and we now have a nice new door! The area above the door will be replaced with a piece of glass as well so it will look like a mini home.  Maybe this will keep the rats away...hehe!
