Busy weekend

We went to an auction again this weekend. We didn't buy as much as the first time but we got some "nice" building materials. We decided to use marble tile for the counter tops instead of granite. I wanted the one called cherry blossom and Mike wanted the one called coffee. I was bidding on the cherry blossom with some guy but didn't want to go to high so i let the other guy have it. If the other person doesn't take it all the second bidder can usually have some at the winning bidders price. I was kinda pissed when the guy took it all. So next was the coffee. I didn't even get in on the bidding for it but did get what we needed in it. We also picked up the under layment for the laminate flooring, some wall tile for the master bath and some flooring to fix the floor in the downstairs hallway back where the bathrooms where (all the water damage).

Saturday evening we purchase a very nice Victorian couch & love seat. We decided these will go in the formal living room.

Mike is still working in the back area of the house. We finally got a utility sink for the laundry room so he could get the wall out in the kitchen we are using now. So once he gets everything tore out he can finally start building it up. The last 3 pictures are of the back area he is working on. The first one is from the kitchen we are using into the 1/2 bath/pantry/new kitchen. The second picture is taken from the area of the new kitchen up where the upstairs bathrooms used to be. The third picture is a wider angle of the second picture.

I have been working on so many projects of my own. Cleaning out the clothes room & putting finish on the panels for the living room ceiling. We just got panels for Isabelle's ceiling and i started painting those today. The kittens still using the bottles they are now eating solid food and drinking water. The doggies are doing well but don't like when the kittys bother them. Casey is doing fine with his nail that had to be removed last week.

The kids are all adjusting to the new school year. Marissa is a jr, Patrick is a freshman, Brandon is a 4th grader and Isabelle is a first grader. We found out at the older kids dental check up they both need braces. And the closest dentist that takes our insurance is in chesapeake.(next to the one mike & i used to use) So both have appts at the end of oct for evaluation. I picked up their xrays this morning when Isabelle was getting a small filling. We are done with dental appts til next month.

Well i think the first panel for isabelle's ceiling is dry so i best being working on the next.
