Box Land

I know it's been a long time. First I had a broken camera and then . . . well I've been busy. Not that there is much to post about. There has been some progress, but not much VISIBLE progress. We've had the wiring redone, walls torn down and even a new oven! We also had our bathroom cabinet delivered-we still need to mount the sink and build a top, but it's something! We also hung the mirror.



We have a lot of broken walls, holes in walls, holes in ceilings, etc. It's a big project that we may or may not be able to do ourselves. Then again, we may or may not have a choice considering the bid we got was for $7,000. Which is about$2,000 more than are absolute top price we'd be willing to pay. I am sure it would be amazing, but this remodel has already cost WAY more than our original projections. If we do it ourselves. . .I am just not sure it's going to be all that great. We have some more thinking to do and a few more bids to get. Tomorrow we have an appointment at Ambiente Tile. We spent last Saturday there looking at tile and brainstorming ideas for our Kitchen back splash. The store is amazing! We also have had our cabinets delivered. Apparently the process is: drop a million boxes off at your home, someone comes and makes sure you got everything and it's not damaged, and then schedule the install. Of course, we can't schedule the install until the walls are fixed. Here are a few pics of the Grays enjoying the boxes
