No more ghetto house!

Yesterday was a huge turning point. I came home from work and realized...our house is no longer ghetto! Now, it just looks like a nice house that is still a tiny bit under construction. The painting isn't quite complete (all the white trim still needs to be added and the bottom is still waiting on a second coat), but here is a sneak peak on the improvements made over the last week. It really is so exciting!

Other milestones this week include plumbing in the kitchen. Yes, it's true, we now have a working kitchen sink and dishwasher. This is also incredibly exciting. So exciting that when Jay called to tell me while I was working in Toronto last week, I actually ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Jay's been working like crazy since we got back from vacation...and it's really paid off. He's also enlisted the help of Darren Gilbert, who has moved to Vancouver just in time to help us through the home stretch (Gilbert - it's about time...where have you been the last 6 months?).

This week's projects include finishing the attic so we can empty our storage unit and start putting things away. Then it's time to get crackin' on the suite downstairs. Stay tuned...
