A lot of progress

We have made a lot of progress on our house lately! We gutted the living room and installed a wood stove with a tile hearth. We are now in the process of installing hard wood floor in one half of the living room. The other half (where the furniture and tv will go) will be carpet. I set up the Christmas tree even though we're right in the middle of construction. I just couldn't stand it. Of course I did it while Phil was at work so he couldn't stop me...sneaky huh? So, now we just need finish the flooring, install carpet and built-in shelves and we'll be set!

It's surprising that we've gotten this much done during the busiest time of year. We know good and well that we won't get anything done on the house next weekend because of all the Christmas celebrations. I also have a birthday creeping up on me...28 years young on Dec 29th!

Our four-legged kid is loooooving the wood stove. He hangs out by it all the time. I on the other hand, try to stay away. It's averaging about 80-85 degrees in our house so I have been opening the windows. I'm sure the neighbors think we've lost our mind when they see them open. We also don't have blinds up in there yet so they see me in my shorts and t-shirts too.

I'll post pics of the updates next time.

See ya!
