Never Ending Projects

Every day is a busy day! 

Since moving in we have had plenty of visitors and with those visitors - more projects have popped up.  

The latest project is close to wrapping up.  The living room floors were re-done.  Remember on the first day we pulled up all the existing Berber carpet and found beautiful wood floors underneath.  

They are now finished and the room is fantastic!  Since the floors looked so good - I was motivated to paint the walls.  Below are the before and after pictures.

After
The furniture is back in place and we have started putting our book bins up on the walls.  Once it is all put together - I will share another picture.

We also got a new fridge - the other one was too small for us.  J and Pop worked on getting that installed and the water line to the ice set up.  The doorway is small so the fridge doors had to come off.  You can see the it in pieces.

Once the older one was removed we saw the original built in and decided to enlarge that area so the fridge could be pushed all the way back.  It only gave an additional 4 inches or so - but the result is very nice.  

Currently we have our stove built into an island in the middle of the kitchen.  So if I am cooking and someone needs to get something out of the fridge - it is a juggling act.  The addition 4 inches help until we can move the stove.  That will be a mighty project and will probably take a while to get started. (I will add some kitchen pictures next time.)

The gardens are coming along well (minus the sugar beet field) and I have started getting peppers already.  

Can't wait for the tomatoes!
