Labor Day Weekend

I think Jason and I to took Labor Day weekend literally this year. We labored and labored and it's now 11:30pm on Monday night and the house is a disaster and we are exhausted!!!!

I painted both the girls' rooms, finished our room and the hallway and started the living room before running out of paint, and packed up our entire kitchen as the cabinets are being refaced starting tomorrow. I also managed to get in a round of golf (it was hard work having so much fun laughing with Dad, Jill and Bill), and made a cake.

Ok, Jason did most of the labor this weekend, he dealt with a little water in the basement, the plumber, destructing the old laundry tub, installing a new one, framing the basement shower, started tiling and I'm sure a few other things as he started Saturday morning and is still working hard as I type.

Jason's after dark workshop, you can see his new tub - forgive me for being delerious

What a stud!!

the lower bath - not as messy as other areas of the house

part of the tiling, we have plain white tiles for the floor (I still don't know why you decided on these Mom and Dad) so we wanted a little splash of color but nothing too dramatic so we added the side tiles for more color.

the driveway - we are wondering if it will come clean or all the tile dust will turn to clay and stick, I guess we'll see when I get out to clean it off

Jason emptied my laundry room into the driveway and here sits my stuff. I guess we live in a pretty nice area, no one has stolen anything. Our neighbor Ken has very generously agreed to let us use his storage room to keep these.

Last photo of the old kitchen cabinets - I believe these are original to the house, tomorrow they get new doors and will magically turn white. I'm a little nervous as I'm not a huge fan of white cabinets but oh well, that is what has been ordered.

Another plus, they will all match, no more newer and older styles in one tiny kitchen

the partially painted living room - nice huh?

man, moving is going to stink big time! Just tossing the contents of the kitchen into boxes took a long time!

The other half of our kitchen, the kids are going to have a field day tomorrow. I think I will either have to gate them upstairs or keep them outside as we won't be able to use the kitchen, the living room is piled high and the basement is a wreck. Oh my, going to be a long week!
