The battle with the upstairs continues...

Here is a shot of our renovation material-ridden backyard, complete with a glimpse of that double barn shed of ours (as taken from the second floor). That path is entirely made up of stolen patio stones from a former East End pub patio :)

Big Tool 4 U?

The famous sanding machine. Bzzzzzz.....

Here is the result of that big tool: beautiful, sanded, stained, and varathaned floors. This is the little cat powder room that will soon become a walk-in closet. I want to install an Ikea or a California closet, but Ian built the downstairs closet himself, so perhaps we will continue on that path.
Kitchen before,
Kitchen during,

And kerry's foot
our future bedroom (and to the right is that little cat room) with the floors all glistening and gleaming.

Next stop, picking paint colours. Every single room upstairs needs to be patched and painted, and we only have one out of five colours picked. eek!
