We are ready for carpet!

Well, despite a 24 hour flu that has caught every one of us (except Dane... so far) We are ready for carpet. Most of the paint is up, except for some touch ups and some trim. The one bathroom is wallpaper free. Holy crap I hate wallpaper! There is some new sub-floor in the bathroom and the toilets and washer and drier have been moved out! It was a whirlwind 5 days of work and it's amazing how much we got done. But, I think you always expect to get more done!!! Isn't that the way.
We can't thank Clint's parents enough. They have been instrumental in getting this much done. My mom and Perry were also phenomenal... Helping out with Dane and bringing us juice and sprite when we are all sick... :( Everyone was really great!

Here are some pictures of all of our work!!

Everyone getting ready to start! This was our test wall for our first color we chose. Then we actually decided to lighten it up a little. So the walls are a caramel or ivory and the trim is all ivory. We think it turned out really sharp.

As I said we have some work to do around the corners and ceiling, but here it is waiting for carpet. The pictures make it look a little orange, but it actually is a really nice caramel color.

Here is Bill and Clint removing our 1970's (ish) vintage washer and drier. They weighed about a ton and a half I think... Good thing these boys are tough!

Here are Sheri and I at the beginning of our wallpaper removing party! Look how energetic and enthusiastic I am...

Do you see how much fun I'm having now? There was like 3 layers of paper (vinyl paper). In places they had painted over it, and in others they had patched holes with plaster right over the top as well. Needless to say it was a NIGHTMARE! But, we all took a turn and my awesome hubby got up really early one morning and went over and finished it up! He rocks!

Tomorrow Clint and I return to work and Bill and Sheri are headed back to Oregon. It has been a great weekend and hopefully everyone will be feeling 100 % soon... This week will be another busy one, I'm sure it will fly by. Take care everyone and stay posted for the pictures of our new casa with carpet and vinyl! woo hoo!
