Making great progress - the photos will show some of the furniture we have purchased - but much of the work in the last weeks has been Kevin painstakingly taking off every piece of wood trim, cleaning it, polishing it and replacing it - or buying new and replacing. Some pieces disintegrated upon removal. The following photos are the dining room - repainted, re-trimmed, re-windowed, re-floored, new window treatment, new rug (on order - the one in the photo too small - will go to my office) new sideboard , which is a feature - looks amazing- first thing you see walking in the front door.
We have a new kitchen table and chairs - just big enough for the 2 of us and Eli when he is over for dinner.
Much work has occurred this week in the Living Room. The fireplace has a new insert - still have not burnt a fire - but Living Room Furniture should be here later this week. New TV and blinds. Kevin painted the railings on the stairs - one more to go - and he also stripped all that nasty wallpaper and repainted and re-trimmed the stairwells. Eventually we will paint the paneling a light color - but not needed to move in. He also weant over every wooden tile and re-oiled the wood - looks brand new!
In a couple of weeks our 12' patio door will be replaced. Then we will probably hold tight for a while and let the funds replenish! We have started moving car loads of stuff from the Andersons and Kouts Sr garage. In the next 7-10 days we will move furniture in - can't wait to be there. It;s feeling like OUR home.

For some reason I have not been getting email updates when you post, so have only just now caught up with all these great pics and posts.
Glad all has gone so well, though you must be tired. Kevin, how are the muscles and sinews holding up?
Love to you both
