Our "Little" Project

So our house (not yet home) is a HUGE project that stands before us..... these pics were taken at the beginning of the week. Now the walls are riddled with holes, there is no plumbing, wires hang from various places where lights should be...and it stills smells mildly like urine. HAVE NO FEAR! :) We have a handful of mighty warriers with the strength to fight off such pestilence! :)
Soon, this mess will be beautiful and full of visitors. Many thanks to all who helped us this week: Mom and dad for babysitting, Chris for just stopping by because you like to encourage us, Cam for ALWAYS being there to do whatever nasty task is at hand (banging holes in the walls, etc etc etc), Karli for your cleaning supplies, and to so many others... thank you thank you. I hope you enjoy your pies. :)

THis pic of the kitchen counter-top is now out-dated....dave and i ripped off the counter top, and plan to replace this unit.


The bathroom was the only room with a color on the walls...besides the dirty blue in some other places, but that is soooo pale it doesn't count. This room has also changed throughout the week, now missing the vanity, sink, shower stall, and wall panelling. (which we ripped completely out)

THis is our beloved attic. it looks terrible in this pic, but it is really a beautiful place....at least in my imagination it is. THe floor in reality is quite lovely, but everything else needs a lot of work. (walls and such, little things you know.....)

Well, that is our story. much to come in the future.
love and joy, from sue
here is our fireplace.....

Sue, i am so excited for you. are you still living in your apt while trying to fix everything up, or have you two packed up and moved to mom and dad naus's? I really hope you have a super time picking colors and styles and arranging furniture, that is once everything is put back together so you can do some of your magic! Hope you like the hardwood. I can't wait until one day, when all the loans are paid off, and my current education is over, when dave and i can afford a house and all its pleasures. So in about 20 years! He he... anyways, i would love to hear about plans and stuff, email me if you have a chance sometime. Take care,
Love janie dave mystery baby

WOW I love the pictures! It's a good thing you took them at the beginning of the week because now Julia says the place is 'dirty'. It will no longer be 'dirty' by the time you see it again, I'll see to that!
Love MOM
