Ok, so today's pic surely isn't as cute as yesterday's subject, but still exciting none the less (and, of course, both of the wee ones are already asleep since we're going on 10pm!) Anyway, I thought I'd post a pic of our bathroom renovation that is currently underway. My uber awesome dad, is of course, contractor extraordinaire for this project. And, as is standard with his projects, we stripped 'er all the way to the studs and are completely rebuilding her. Today he told me how much he loves working on a century old house, what with the wide array of eclectic workmanship that's been added over the years and charming way that nothing is level...or, did he threaten to never work on my house again after this project? It's a gray area. I'm sure he was just kidding, you all know what a jokester he is, right? Anyway, after a minor set back involving several curse words, a lot of that notorious head shaking that my dad does, and that tiny window, I think it is safe to say that we have finally rounded the corner from demolition to construction! YAY! I don't think a house ever seems so big until you have to go upstairs every time you have to pee. Actually, Laramie told me today, "I think Uncle Steve was kidding, he's not going to put our toilet back, is he?" (Uncle Steve is our fabulous plumber/electrician contractor assisting on this project...and many others. I did mention he's my favorite uncle, didn't I?) Anyway, I think the project's gonna really start rolling now. Mom has been commissioned to put a lovely shade of pale yellow on the walls tomorrow, which is actually the reason I did not take today's pic before my living subjects were asleep, because we were at the Home Depot at 8:30 picking out paint!
Maybe tomorrow I'll try to take a pic before 9pm...but don't get your hopes up.
