Well, I can't believe I didn't get pics of all the guys moving everything in, but they did. David, Lee, Glen and Bruce moved all the big things. Thanks guys...... So Mom has been moving things around and fussing with everything. She loves it. we still have a few things to pick up for her. but all the main things are here. She is madly unpacking and rearranging and having loads of fun!

Things are coming along really nicely. all the appliances are in. her vanity in the bathroom is in. Soon I will post pics of the carpet in the bedroom and her counter tops! Yeah. moving day is fast approaching. it will be very nice to have this all done......

Construction continues......

Mercy, so much has been happening, so here is a little catch up on the progress.......
the new shower area..... My new laundry area. the cupboards are from the old laundry room. they fit!!!! our contractor wanted to do the tiling for us. I really like it.

These are the new closets in Mom's bedroom. they go the whole length of her bedroom.

this isn't a good picture, but they are smoothing the floor to her new living area (our former 3 bay of our garage).

Here is the big o' cement truck, I had to take a pic for the grandsons. wish they could of seen it.

they are really working fast! I think it is really coming along. this week, they will be tiling the floors......

More construction.....

so much progress has been made this week. it seems like a whirlwind! I have to say Daniel and his crew have been wonderful! they clean up everything every night before they leave. they are trying to be so considerate of us. they apoligize all the time for the mess and noise. I didn't realize how loud it would be. very unsettling. thanks guys!!! you are doing a great job!
now for the pics.... this is the new wall for the garage. now we have just a two car garage. this is the beginning of Mom's new pantry.

new home for the new water heater. we were hoping not to have to replace it. it is 13 years old. I think it lasted longer than it should have.....

here is part of my new laundry room. the guys hooked up my washer and dryer so I can do laundry this weekend. thanks guys.....

this is where the kitchen will be. so you can see all the lovely plumbing. you can also see the grand canyon going through the floor.

this is the new entrance to the garage.

this is the entrance into the apartment.

this is the wall behind the new bathroom. again another grand canyon. I didn't realize it would be so involved. I guess there were a lot of things I didn't realize. Monday the inspector comes. then they finish drywalling, and then the cement! hope the grands can come when the cement comes so they can watch the big truck do it's thing.

I think I need to go and sew a bit to calm and soothe me. LOL....

Construction has started! Yahoooooooo

As you know I have been waiting all summer for the remodel to begin. sigh.... I go back to work this week. so Bruce and I will taking turns babysitting the house. but e are excited to finally get started. I have floaties in my house from all the dust. some of the smoke alarms have been going off! the cats are going crazy and very worried from all the noise. Me? I am cutting and sewing, life is good! LOL!

this is looking from the garage to the hall. no more wall! back in the corner is where the water heater's new home will be. that's also going to be my new laundry room. here the guys have taken out the garage door and are framing for the new window!

this is a better picture of the hall. they are moving the wall on the left to make the laundry area bigger.

This is a trench they have to dig for all the plumbing.

I know, not very interesting, but so exciting for us. things are going pretty fast. lets hope it keeps going that way. what will tomorrow bring? surely more cutting and sewing for me! LOL!

Triple Irish Chain

I am sooooo close to getting this done. I layed it all out and started sewing the rows together. when I came back in to get another row. this is what I came back to! Miss Priss was playing hide and seek with my rows! Now I have all the rows together, and the borders on. wow!!! what an accomplishment. right now I am appliqueing some flowers in the corners. as soon as I am finished with that, then picture time!!! thanks charmers for helping me get my project done!

******* update on remodel! we are getting the permit on Monday, Finally!!! Yeah!!!! so maybe within 10 days we will start the construction. sure hope so, it seems that the planning part has taken forever!

enjoy.....
