Hardwood Floors: Done

and when we got back, we were finally able to get into the house. We had tiptoed in and opened some windows this morning, but the fumes prevented us from doing anything else. Plus the finish seemed just a tiny bit tacky. I took some pictures of the dining room, living room, and hallway. Should really look great once we get the doors and mouldings installed!!

We were finally able to get into the bathroom to get the second coat of paint on the walls in there. We don’t have much light in the bathroom yet, so it may need some touch-ups, but otherwise it is painted. The plumber is coming tomorrow evening to finish the shower, install the toilet, the vanity, and the lighting…it will be close to done in there, too. I can’t wait to post some befores and afters of the rooms as they are completed!!!

Pike Place Market

So we have both lived in Seattle before, and have been to Pike Place Market many times, but it has been awhile, and I wanted to go at least once while we were here this time. Today was the perfect day because there was no one scheduled to do any work at the house, and the floors really needed time to dry. It was a gorgeous day, and even though it was a Wednesday it was quite busy at the market. It took us about twenty minutes just to find parking. Then we walked down to the market and got some lunch from the chicken place. We walked around and looked at the booths, bought some potatoes and some herbs from one place, and some honey from another. They have a lot of these decorated pig statues all over the area near the market, so I took pictures of some of them. I like pigs:) We walked around a little more and then went to the fudge shop and bought some fudge. We were done with the shopping by then, so we headed home…
