Isabelle's & Mommy's bday

Here are pictures of Isabelle's 8Th birthday. For some reason i didn't get a picture of my cake. Oh well, I didn't really cake for it after i made it. It was a Kahlua and coffee cake. Isabelle's was a to die for carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I finally got the holes in our bedroom wall patched with dry wall , mudded & painted. Now if it would warm up so i can get the hallway finished.

long over due update

I know this is a long over due update. We have had a lot going on as you can see from the pictures. We also had 2 birthdays but that will be the next post. Mike decided to replace the grandma room floor/kitchen ceiling about 2.5 weeks ago. It hasn't been to bad except the kitchen is tore up again. The light fixtures had to be taken down so we have been using a floor lamp. And the large middle counter had to be removed that there is almost no counter space to prepare food.I'm hoping that will be back in place this week.

The first few pictures are the old flooring/ joists. The middle 5 pictures are Mike with help from Patrick & Brandon replacing joists and weight down sub flooring while Mike nails it in place. The last 3 pictures are the new joists and what you will see in the kitchen when you look up. We are leaving it open again and didn't want just sub flooring.

ok...back to work.....

Progress

Mike decided to replace the floor and joists in the gradma room. It all needed to be done and instead of waitig he's doig it now. We got the materials last weekend and i stained the joists on saturday and sunday. Mike got 3 of them i last night. This weekend i will get to the sub flooring when the wind dies down a bit. I have been painting in our bedroom still and am alsmost finished. The first 4 pictures are the floor in the grandma room and the hole in the kitchen. With the ceiling out there are not lights so we are using a floor lamp. The last picture is the wall i patched up this week and finished painting this morning. I will have more pictures when i can get Mike to upload them from the camera.
