Pictures. Finally





The Kitchen of days past and future (top) the view from dining room to front door(bottom). Yes. I know it's blurry. You get the idea.




Spectacular view of the ugly orange post in the middle of the house. Behind it is the soon-to-be office (to the right, by the bay window) and to the left will be the living room.
Room currently decorated with 5 gal buckets of primer and ceiling paint.






Dining room, Toward the Right will be the kitchen. The bricks used to be the fireplace mantle thing. But we needed the 18 inches of floor space to fit our table. And they were ugly. And fun to tear down. Destruction is sometimes fun.


Yes, That is a double vanity. I know you're Jealous, Andrew ;-)



The Elephant Room.
Soon to be boy bedroom. Minus the elephants. Apparently they liked them so much that when the painted the walls from tan to blue, they tried to paint around the elephants, rendering them even scarier looking than they would have been otherwise.
Note the freshly painted ceiling and missing floor tile.
These people liked painting their ceilings. This room was tan, the girls was pink, the master bath was Mississippi mud brown.



Master bedroom. Bathroom to the left, patio door to the right.
Yes, all the ceilings in this house have odd angles. 




Master bath and closet. yeah, crummy picture.


View from kitchen. Through dining room. You can see through the future "guest room" and the last doorway leads into the elephant room.
Those white things you see in the foreground are electrical wiring.




Backyard. Looking from back kitchen door, there is this little patio-bricked area and then the back yard. Beyond our yard is open space. (yeah!!!) and a firebreak and coyotes. What would our backyard be without a fire break and active coyotes?  But.. if you're going to have a few square feet for a yard, it's nice not having to share your back fence with another family.
Since it's rained 1 day (and not even a whole day- a few hours) since.. uh.. forever. The plants are mostly dead and so is the grass.

Looks great! Can't wait to see pictures as you make more progress! Looks like there is a TON more space! When will it be move-in ready?

Our Goal is to move by Jan 1. It was to be in by Christmas, but that's not looking realistic.
It's 1900 square feet, which is substantially less than we're renting (but we really have too much space here). It's a ranch and the open floor plan and cathedral ceilings make it feel big. Lack of furniture is also helping it look big ;-)
