MESS

Remodeling this house has been this huge mess from day one. Don't get me wrong I'm glad and excited to make changes but the mess that keeps happening, especially after I finally get things cleaned up is driving me crazy. The first project was painting and that was crazy trying to make all the cut ins on a wall that really was built with sharp corners, then it was the flooring in the great room, which is the living room and dining room. Which took forever because after preparing for vinyl which is a process we found that it was a scary thing to do in there since it was lifting?? Finally before we found something else we had a water explosion from the hot water connector to the washer machine. The builder never put it together right. Anyway after getting all the water damage done and I mean damage!!! We finally were ready to put the laminate in to wake up and find our ice maker exploded on us and we had water again. Laughing at this point right yeah me too! So finally we got all the flooring in and it was a miracle. Next was the computer/ media room which thank God went well except the fact the the brick faux painting wasn't what we thought. So we ended up painting it a haze color light brown and the bathroom the brick color. Oh and did I mention that we had to replace the flooring in my walk in closet and Bedroom hallway from the water damage as well? What's left? Well the flooring in the boys room and our room the laundry room and two bathrooms and painting in those rooms.... Wow we still have a lot! and with that more messes.

Pictures.... GREAT

So Yesterday Andrew had a accident he ran into a big kid and got up from the fall and before he cold realize where is was heading he ran into a planter and fell directly on his chin! It is so skinned up and guess what this morning is Picture make up day. On top of falling he got really bad allergies and so the top lip and nose are so RED, how all these things seem to happen right around pictures is beyond me. The first set of pictures were so cute until you noticed the big wet spot on his shirt, that I guess the picture people thought would go unnoticed?? Anyway so I guess I'm paying for the 6.00 retouch fee that I should have just done in the first place. We live and learn.
