Finally the Play by Play

Are you ready to see the before and afters? I know you are, actually I am too. I still have work to do this morning and I've promised Trav that I'll be nearly done by the time he gets home so I better get moving. So here's the funky furniture placement before. Notice that there is about two inches between the chair and the computer desk, so yeah, it's cramped. The solution I have in my head is to put the computer and components on my dresser in the bedroom which will solve a few issues. The first is that I tend to leave a bunch of random junk on the top which is very annoying to Trav and myself (apparently not annoying enough for me to do anything about it though) and I'll also have a way to watch DVD's when I'm working out- nice. We've been a strict 'no TV in the bedroom' couple but since our room also serves as a workout room it doesn't count.
And here's a shot of the lovely kitchen. Notice the broken floor tiles. Thankfully we have a decent walking path through there.
More broken tiles.
Cramped kitchen + power tools= a lot of stress.
But the girls are *really* excited about the new floors!

This is not an obligatory cute Chloe shot. It is, in fact, a shot of Chloe working to help pull up the vinyl tiles on the floor. She worked like a champ and was a lot of help.

Rolling out the roofing felt...Travis is starting the first row. And since you have to do that one by hand, it took a *long* time.And here's the hallway. It's finished except for the, um, finish work that you can see. We need to get reducers and baseboards but it's walkable.And the work that is yet to be done. I think if I work really hard for two or three hours I can get the majority of it done. This has to be done tonight though.

Well, I hope you enjoyed your tour. It will probably be another week and a half before we get the baseboards up unless I can figure out how to do it while Travis is an work. And we have two weeks before Trav's mom and brother come for a visit. I still need to paint...got any paint color suggestions? I'm thinking a nice green or a blue-gray.
