Blogging from Spain

Hello Hello! Blogging about our addition in Minnesota from all the way in Spain. Crazy. Mom and I finally figured out a way for her to get pictures to me without having to majorly shrink the picture sizes or send me 800 emails with three pictures each. So here you go! I apologize for leaving many of you hanging for so long with our almost completed project..haha. Not really sure what the status of completion is today, some of you might actually know better than I do, but I do know that the appliances are in, there is water in the kitchen sink, the new washer and dryer are all hooked up and the old ones gone, and the floors are in!

Our butcher block! 

Kitchen to dining room doorway 

the new basement was drywalled!

Shiny new fridge

messyyyyy

Installing the hardwood floor


Pantry space on the way into the basement

More new shelves, on the landing on the stairs into the basement (where that ancient door to the outside used to be)

Apparently they put shelves in our new closet 

Bathroom vanity...work in progress

Back stoop

More stoop

Dryer vent? 

Our new kitchen! Still missing the stone tile backsplash though

Dining room....not sure why the picture is split down the middle horizontally..? 

Hardwood floor! 

Where's our old washer and dryer?!

Our shower has a door!

Things You've Missed

Hello! I have been majorly behind on this...I'm sorry. I was out of town last week and am now in Spain, but here are some pictures of things you've missed in the past couple weeks!

Ok..this one is super super late, but still a fun picture. Mom took it one day when they were painting shingles and using our lawn to let them dry. 








The doorway (in progress) between our new kitchen and the old dining room! 

After all their hard work, the kitchen was still not square! It was off by about an inch. Go figure. 





All of the ugly rocks in our rock pile became a nice retaining wall along the east side of our driveway where the old garage used to hold up the ground, and the three nice rocks were put in a line along the west side of our garage (the side facing Helen's house).
