progress
Not running-wise. Running-wise, I suck.
Renovation-wise, things are going really well. I took this past Friday and Monday off to make it a four day weekend so I could get the hardwood floor installed. My dad and I got it 95% done (only 1/2 of the hallway going to the bedrooms is unfinished) and the consensus from most people who have seen it is that it’s “rich”. Lori and I love it and we can’t wait to paint the walls and install the cabinets. Both of those tasks will be done in the next 4 or 5 days – I’m patching and sanding right now.
Once those things are done, all that will be left is to install the cabinet doors (on backorder), baseboard and probably some other odds and ends.
I’m drop dead tired. The reno is taking up pretty much every non-work waking hour. Oh well. It will definitely all be worth it when we’re done.
Take care everyone!

We want to rip out all the walls on the first floor of our house, rewire everything, wallpaper, paint, new kitchen, new bath, etc.

I am impressed with your DIY abilities. My husband and I planning to install laminate floors in our bedroom. Also, we are planning to tile our shower wall and bathroom floors. Any words of wisdom from a seasoned home improver to a newbie?
