Kitchen and Bath Fixtures

So as part of the process Mike and I get to go shopping. We just picked out all our bathroom fixtures along with our kitchen sink. Toilet (as if you couldn't tell)

Bathroom Vanity (version of a pedestal)
Bathroom sink that will sit on top of the above vanity

Hardware for the bathroom sinks.
We went with the oil rubbed bronze look to hold some of the old character of the house.

Shower hardware (also oil rubbed bronze)
Kitchen sink

Still lots more work and shopping to be done!

Kitchen and Bath Demo

We decided to go ahead and move forward with both the kitchen and bathroom remodel. In order to save us some money we agreed to do the demo work and our contractor would then come in and put it all back together. We have spent a good number of hours there working on it and here are some of the before and now pictures. Hopefully within the next few weeks we will be able to post some finished pictures!

Bathroom
For the bathroom we decided to move the whole thing across a hallway. We tore everything out and then Jim (contractor) came in and took out the walls. The finished product will have a tub/shower, sink, toilet and linen closet.

The walls are obviously gone. The hallway into the living room will run along the left side . The bathroom will sit along the right.

We were also very excited to find hardwood floors in the hallway, dining room and kitchen. There were four layers of flooring in the kitchen and two in the dining room that we took up. There is a lot of glue in the floors but we are hoping to be able to refinish them. We shall see!

Roofing

This past weekend we spent endless hours roofing the storage shed. Friday night we stripped off the old roof then spent all day Saturday and Sunday replacing rotting boards and laying new shingles. I have learned a lot more about roofing then I ever knew before and ever really cared to know. We barley finished before the sun set on Sunday, but it is done and we can now start using it!

Yes, those are all holes!

Yes, that is Jenn on the roof!

One more thing off the list!
