Dresses are being altered, shoes bought, my attire...well...kind of sort of thought about. Soon. Instead I've been focusing on everything else! As of today, the floors have been stained and have their first coat of finish. I could only really peak through the doors at them, but they are looking mighty nice. How about a few photos to give you a sense of things? We started with carpeting in most of the house...
and vinyl in the kitchen and dining nook (and UNDER the carpeting in one of the bedrooms)...
Nice, huh? Now we know that, in fact, we have oak in the living room, dining nook and hall with fir in the kitchen and bedrooms. Interesting. Anyway, they now look like this:
Not bad at all!!! Can't wait to really see them once the fumes are gone and the 2nd coat is on. Tomorrow I'll be going over and painting the baseboards so that they are all set to be installed on Thursday. Glad I have the day off!
Thursday night, with the floors finished and the bathroom essentially finished, we'll get to glory in the ongoing landscaping projects! My friend Scott has been going to town - and today we have 85% of what Anner has been dreaming of since I bought the house...a patio for chairs and a FIREPIT! We're going oh-so-artsy and it's going to look spectacular. Afraid you'll have to wait for the next post (or come visit) before getting a visual taste. He's also done a bunch of moving plants around (what few we haven't killed...or that the caterpillars and root weevils haven't eaten), laying out paths, pulling up sod, etc. Going to make our yard quite stunning come wedding time!
And I think that's it for this edition of the Anner and Aaron wedding blog. I'll just end by saying how excited we are with all the folks who've said they hope to make it for the various parts of the weekend. We can't wait to see you all!
Cheerio,
Aaron
