Day 101
Over the past few days more drywall in the kitchen has been put up and more cabinets have been installed. It’s finally beginning to look like a kitchen. Excited is an understatement. Does this mean we get to move out of our parents’ house soon?

Day 62
Today we finished adding the moldings to the dining room and Kevin ripped up more flooring in the dining room to begin leveling out where it was ramping up. The previous owner added the master bedroom and family room to the house in the 90s. This addition was built on a slab foundation set a few inches higher than the original house. So to transition from the dining room to the family room you had to slightly step up. To compensate for this, the previous owner sloped his wood floors to hide the gap, which looked and felt very uneven and cheap. When we pulled off the flooring, and leveled the dining room we thought we could just make the transition an actual step, but unfortunately it was not high enough. So now we are trying to decide what that transition piece will look like.
The kitchen cabinets were delivered today! They just need to be assembled… the one downfall to ordering from Ikea.

Day 11
Kevin didn’t go into work today and I worked a half-day so that we could get more work done on the house. It’s hard having a full time job while doing a home renovation! Who would have guessed? Haha!
Kevin finished mudding the walls in our bedroom, we picked out the carpet for the bedrooms, we picked out and installed the closet storage pieces from Ikea (check them out HERE), Timmy began priming all of the walls that needed painting, AND my mom continued stripping door #1.
