Making Progress

We still have so far to go, but we are finally getting somewhere! Our living room is finally wall paper free (but now has a lot of drywall patching to be done!). It was basically the wall from hell since the original owners wall papered directly onto drywall, no priming or painting first. This weekend we are going to begin our painting, which should be fast and easy since we have no worries about taping trim or covering the carpets before we begin.

Now:




Sean will be happy to get the flooring in and out of the garage soon too as it is getting cooler outside and unfortunately he has lost his parking spot in the garage to all this wood flooring.





And as far as perfect timing is concerned, last night our dishwasher decided to die. So now we are on the hunt for a new one, and since we know absolutely nothing about dishwashers let us know if you have any recommendations. We definitely want stainless steel and it is probably worth while to invest in a top of the line water and energy efficient model.
