A Few more progress pictures Staining the floor. Varnish the floor Oliver surprised at the furnishings Still need to finish the art for the walls. New house new life. I like the calm colors for the house. The crazy green in the hall is the only pop of color. The dining room is in the kitchen, much better for us.

Just in time for the new year we have made a claim on most of the house. Just got the living room built. Still needs the art on the walls and the crown molding but it is very nearly finished. As you can see Oliver is thrilled. The kitchen is functional. I still need to paint the cabinets, the molding needs to go up, and new countertops. But at least it looks like a kitchen at the moment.

Yes, it does feel better than rent. This week I hope to get the floor prepared for staining. There is still about a third of the glue floor to chip away. I will have my Christmas tree this year. I am hoping this will include a living room too. The windows should be ready soon. Once they are installed the house will be even more efficient. Did I mention that it costs us about $40 a month to keep the house at 68 degrees. The floor does look better stripped. It's a hard life for Oliver...
