Back from the Hiatus

I'm happy to say that even though we have not posted to the web in awhile we did manage to get a lot done. We have the kitchen to a 99.9% finish point.

Here is the way it looked in May of 2006 when we bought the house.

And here it is this past weekend.
We have also been working on getting the back hall ready for paint. The back hall needed a lot of patching I think that is where the apprentice plaster was at work the plaster is thin and brittle especially around the ceiling area so when they put up the paneling it just got destroyed.

We also removed the carpeting from the living room, dining room, and upstairs sitting room.


All of the floors were in relatively good condition however the living room and dining rooms have rug outlines in the center of the rooms which I thought may be the case considering the age of the house. We bought a rug for the living room and are waiting on the dining room for the time being. It still looks better than that carpet looked towards the end, ick!
