Where do I start?

Oh' boy. Well first off, we got a house! Yep, home-ownership r us! We got it in July... and then the renovations started.... and believe it or not, we haven't killed each other..... yet.... So, just a quick list of what we have done...

Painted the interior of the house.

Ripped out the old carpet on the main floor.

Ripped out the multiple layers of tiles/laminate in the kitchen/hall.

Replaced all the drywall in the kitchen.

Ripped out the old cabinets, counter in the kitchen... can we say major DEMO?

Removed the two half walls the had made the kitchen so tiny!

Removed and replaced a lot of the kitchen subflooring.... gross.

Ran new electrical wires throughout the kitchen.

Installed new cabinets, both wall and base cabinets in the kitchen.

Capped the old gas line for the old gas oven.

Installed a new slide in Induction oven.

Installed Maple flooring in the kitchen and living room (doing the dining room today)

Hung curtians :-)

"Created" an extension for the cabinets for our soon-to-be-installed granite countertops.

Got a new dishwasher.

Created outdoor doggie area, for all the poops.... gross.

I know I'm missing stuff... but after a while it all starts bluring together.... oy.

It's been a real experience. A hard and difficult time, but so worth it!
