i thought i would show you these pics first because the house is actually clean. these pics are of the stained floors in the main living area kitchen.


ok, here is the kitchen, which is obviously nowhere near finished, but chad and i are working as hard as we can to get that CO; chad is believing for this week, but i happen to know that chad likes to tell me only what i want to hear, and it will be at least another week or two before that happens. let me also remind my fellow obxers that getting a CO in watauga co. is a lot easier than getting one there--we dont even have to have running water or a heating system to move into this baby, which at this point, as hard as we have been working, that sounds great to me.

and no, our cabinets arent blue; we are just leaving the contact paper on so they dont get ruined; i have unpeeled one of them and they look beautiful
