Quick update

Our camera battery is dead and the charger is buried some where in our mess here so photos will have to come later. In the mean time here are a few quick updates.

It seems there are two speeds in home remodel either things are happening so fast you can barely keep up or so mind-numbingly slow some days you feel like the project will never end.

Our washer and dryer were delivered, our mud room is now our favorite room in the house! Primarily because it is the smallest and the most manageable in the way of completion.

Our beautiful blanco city Silestone counter tops, stainless steel undermount sink and new faucet are being installed as I type!!! This happened sooner than we expected and with the camera battery dead we were unable to get a "before" shot, hopefully I have a decent one in our archives.

With the ceilings complete the painting has begun, it's going so much slower than we expected. Prepping is oh so time consuming but we want to try and achieve the closest to professional results possible. We've primed the larger spare bedroom, the hallway and most of the family/kitchen/dining area with more than half the house left, before we can add the finish coats. We spent an hour with a contractor at home depot and learned a hand-dandy trick that gives you perfect straight edges when painting. We'll share this trick when we have the photos to go along with it.

Also our floors, fridge, dishwasher, microhood and backsplash order from home depot has all arrived at our local store, however we haven't refinished our cabinets yet and need to stall delivery until then. We're shooting for Thursday of next week.

This weekend we're making a Phoenix run to take advantage of the Pres. Day sales and purchase some of our basic furniture. Also to visit our sweet and newest niece baby Kendall.

Stay tuned for a big photo dump once we find the charger.
