Great Week {Floors}...

This past week the floors were completed in the house, except for a minor adjustment of the carpet in the bedroom. We did not realize how thick and plush the carpet we picked out would actually be, which isn't a bad thing, unless you want to be able to open the back door in the bedroom...yes, the carpet is so thick in the bedroom that we cannot open our back door! Who knew?! So, we are having H&R come out once again to fix this little dilemma we have found ourselves in. The fix...we are putting an entryway around the door opening that will be done in either vinyl or laminate. This should allow enough room for the door to be opened, hopefully! On a better note, the floors are in and they look amazing! I just cannot believe how much this house has changed right before our eyes. We have put in so many hours...well, Clay moreso than I, into this house...not to mention blood, sweat and tears! We have stressed and fretted over so many different things about the house and it feels great to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. As soon as I saw the carpet in the bedroom, I threw off my shoes and layed on it for a good 15 minutes! This made Clay happy...what's the saying? "Happy wife, happy life"...needless to say, this was an exciting completed project.



Along with the floors, Clay and Mike finished installing the toilet and laundry room door. The bathroom vanity will be in today and I can't wait to see it! As soon as the bathroom is complete, we can move back in.
In fact, I'm hoping that it will be as soon as this weekend! My best friend, Emily, is coming into town and I would love for her to help me decorate and arrange furniture, which is one of the many things she does best! So I'm crossing my fingers that everything gets done by then...

Here are a few pictures of the floors, which have not been cleaned by the way...what's the point, right?! I will wait until all construction is complete to actually clean my house again. =)
This picture was taken from the front door and even though there is a refrigerator in the middle of the room, this is the living room.

 This a the view from the living room into the kitchen...with the two happy workers!

 This is the hallway closet...

 This is the bathroom, opposite the closet...

 And this is the bedroom from the hallway...

This is the laundry room door that I LOVE...

Next, we will be putting in base boards and completing the bathroom. Then, we can move back in!
More to come from the "not-so-newlyweds"...
