It never ends.....

The house projects never end when you are a homeowner. Man! Right now, we are in the midst of well, EVERYTHING!!! This weekend we emptied out the spare bedroom, and pulled up on the carpet. Then tomorrow, Dan, the floor man, will be here with the wood for a brand new floor. By the end of next week, the floor will be totally ready and that room will be ready to decorate!!! Once the floor is done we then are going to turn it into a playroom for Ethan. Yeah!!! I am so excited. I finally get to rid my living room of all kid's toys!!
The other big project we are working on right now is the back yard. We are in the process of getting cement quotes for our backyard and driveway. We tore out half of our deck, the part that had the hot tub, so we have so much space back there now. And once its all cemented, Ethan will have so much more room to play.
The projects we already finished this year are: The Bathroom, we totally redecorated it, from new flooring (tile), to a new sink (pedastal), new paint, new chairrail, new mirror, new light fixture, new cabinet, new towel racks, and new towels; The Plumbing, we had our old galvinized plumbing replaced with new copper piping. That, I have to say, was the worst experience ever due to the fact that the first crew was completely incompetent; The Electrical Garage Stuff, we needed some electrical work done in our garage, we had the switch fixed so you can actually turn the light on now, we put in an exterior light on the outside of the garage so now there is light in our back yard, and a few other things. This was the second worst experience because the electrician was anywhere from 1 hr to 5 hrs late getting here each day. That can just ruin your reputation.
Once all of these are done, I think we'll paint the kitchen next.....
