Much has been done since we last updated. The entire house has been textured and painted (except the bathroom, which we will do ourselves) from the ceiling down. The floor tile is in and grouted in the bathroom, the laundry closet, the entry, and the kitchen. The gutters have been installed, and look great–much better than the 60 year-old wood gutters that had weeds growing in them. We have purchased and installed new (inexpensive) light fixtures in the hall, living area, and small bedroom-the ones in the two other bedrooms work and are not that old, so we are keeping them. We have started to paint and install the moulding in the areas that don’t have hardwood.

Projects for tomorrow: we bought new electrical outlets, switches, and covers for the whole house that we can start installing, the bathroom will be painted, and the bottom cabinets in the kitchen will be sanded and preped for painting. We have to pick up one more light fixture, and exchange another one that won’t work.

Someone is coming to refinish the hardwood floors on Monday(the last job we got a professional to do–the rest is all stuff we can do ourselves), so we will be kicked out for at least two days. If the weather is nice, we can finish up the outside–if not, we won’t do much those two days…maybe Pike Place Market:)
