Remodel

The remodel begins!!!! For a couple years I've been begging Dane for some new cabinets in the kitchen. As many of you know, I called my kitchen an, "oak explosion". I didn't like the oak... EVERYWHERE!!!! I figured if I could get some new cabinets, or have them refinished, along with new countertops, that would really help the situation. The time was never right. There was always something else going on. Until now. As is usually the case with Dane, once you get him on board, it's full steam ahead!!! New cabinets and countertops turned to new stairway and banister, turned to new railing, finishing the office, redoing all the carpet in the house, new appliances, and new lighting. Pretty much we're doing a remodel!

The kitchen, competely torn apart.

Because we're getting new carpet in all the rooms, we were forced to move out (or at least down). This is our guest room in the basement, where we all slept (including Maho). The kids thought this was such an adventure. Everyone sleeping together & hanging out. Maho figured he hit the jackpot. Not only was he able to sleep with his family, he was allowed to be on the bed with his mother!!!

As soon as Dane would come to bed, he would shove the poor dog away and he'd be forced to either sleep on the floor or one of the kids beds.
