The amazing transformation

Okay folks the hemmoraging of the savings account has begun. First the plumbers and then the electricians. The electricians were here for about a week. Troy and Dustin were great and with the exception of a tear in the vinyl kitchen flooring which will expediate the necessity of new kitchen flooring we were pleased as punch with their work, especially as they put up the ceiling fan and new bathroom lights upstairs gratis. Next came the waterproofers. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Suffice to say there was a jackhammer, 3 guys, several 5 gallon buckets, and some concrete mix involved. But the best was Kathy who was very generous with her time and came and removed the offensive wallpaper from our dining room and painted it a lovely shade of green (the one I always gravitate to) and removed the wallpaper from the kitchen so it's ready for paint when the countertops go in, and most importantly painted over most of the blue trim downstairs and made our living room very pretty. Also painted over the green trim in the upstairs bath and now I am a little jealous of the kids bathroom, it's very pretty. Guests will hopefully enjoy ! We had a blast with Kath and although I am sure she was mostly anxious to get back to her fam we love that she was part of ours for the time she was here. We love you! Please come back ! There is more wallpaper ! And BLUE TRIM !!!!! (just kidding- kinda).
Okay here are some before pics. More will follow.
Love,
PJ, NG, Ava and JW
