I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just another train heading towards me. -Tucker, Sunday

In spite of our mess inside, our yard is absolutely gorgeous!



So, the past 2 1/2 weeks have been a blur. We haven't gotten to bed before midnight. Friday night I went to bed at 1, Tucker at 3. Saturday night me 12:30 and Tucker 5:15, and Sunday both of us went to bed at 3. Tucker was walking down the hall at work yesterday and he couldn't keep his eyes from crossing. He has this incredible ability to keep his eyes open, but he's not so much in control of his eyeballs. But, we are really happy about how everything is turning out. We just have the countertops, baseboards, order and install new refrigerator, back splash, and sink! Piece of cake! Ha!
Tucker is making a mess! He had to saw off part of the brick so the floors would fit under it. He went through 8 blades. He's working so hard. It's probably not the best idea to operate heavy equipment when you only get a few hours of sleep every night, but let's face it; we think doing this whole renovation ourselves wasn't the best idea either. Just call us next time you need some bad advice!
Didn't he do a great job making the wood fit under the fireplace, I'm impressed (as always)!
This was Tuckers project from 12:30 to 5 am, Friday night. It looks awesome!
A picture taken from the hallway. We're ordering a new frig. this week, it really stands out now.
Aren't my cabinets so pretty? One of our neighbors came over and said, "Your cabinets look so good, could you paint ours?" Then he asked how long it was going to take me to "touch up those scuffed up parts." My question is... If he didn't realize that those were on purpose, why in the world would he want me to paint their cabinets???!!!
This is the granite up close. It's got a lot of green and orange in it, and then a black river line across the top. It's so cool!
