Good bye Porta-Pottie!



I am just thrilled to finally have a toilet in my house! Still have to get sinks, but at least we can get rid of the B&B toilet in my front yard! That thing is costing us over $70 a month, not to mention it is unsightly!

I guess I can finally use that toilet paper rack I bought at the Ferndale garage sale last year. I will have to spray paint it and bring it over.






Almost all the lights in the house are finished. We need to get two more porch light, Josh just has to switch out some element in the ceiling fan light and the electricians wife did not bring enough of the lights for the Shelf Lights (which looks really awesome by the way) Almost all of the lights in the house have dimers on them, even the can lights in the ceiling above the porch. The pendent lights look even better now that there is electricity running to them. I know I already posted a similar picture but here is what they look like lit up; which even looks cooler when it is dark!

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Electricity!

Today Mike came over to hook up the electricity and install all of the light switches, outlets, ceiling fan, and of course; lights! We originally bought these just for the electrical components. We bought separate glassware. Then it turned out the glassware we wanted to use instead would not fit with the electrical component so we have to use the glass they came with. Now that they are up I really like them! They were such a steal too! Originally $60 a piece, we got them for $15 a piece! This is really turning out to be quite the productive week! Hopefully Josh will stick to his word about working on the house 3 days a week once his current job is finished!

So the tile for the shower wall has been installed. It still needs to be grouted but it looks awesome. Andy just laid the floors in the master bath today, I hope I did not mess them up by walking on them! Yikes.

We have a whole bunch of title left over, I guess Josh way over estimated. This is good because we can take it back and use the difference towards the Granite tiles for the kitchen counter-tops.

Starting the Tile Floors!

So Andy came and put the tile floor in the laundry room and guest bathroom. It still needs to be grouted, but it is still exciting. Josh says him and Andy are going to start on the master bath this weekend, hopefully they will get to grouting too. It feels so close I can taste it!
