Progress!

The Lord has blessed us with an incredible family, and they came once again to join us in our remodeling efforts! (Bryan even brought his coworker, Greg, with him to lend assistance!) My pictures are significantly fewer in number this time as my normal schedule continued while the work progressed, but here's a sample of their efforts:

Hanging of the drywall:
Aren't those stilts handy??
Taping, mudding, sanding:

Texturing the ceiling:

Prepping for paint:

I managed not to get any pictures, but Bryan pulled out his spray gun and primed everything, including the trim, with oil-based Kilz! What a difference it makes to have everything clean! He also used his spray gun to put the final coat on the ceiling. So glad not to have to roll that!

And floors!!!!!!
Aren't they beautiful?!?!
While Bryan, Greg, and Dad M. were here, they got everything stained and the first coat of polyurethane done. Dad H. then spent the next week finishing them up with two more coats of poly and sanding inbetween.

We are so blessed! Thank you to everyone for your labors of love!
Now for painting and cabinets . . . target move in date is May 23! :o)

Dad said the floors were gorgeous. And he hadn't seen them with the extra polyeurothane (sp?)!! I can't wait until the painting is done. And I'll get to see that first hand! Or rather, first paint brush? :-)
