Slide Show of Kitchen Before Renovation

This slide show shows our original kitchen in our home before our renovation. A couple of things to note is the missing wallpaper and some damage to some walls, were done by my wife over a fit of frustration. The shots were taken on August 14, 2011.

Our brand new roof!! The painters were suppose to paint Wednesday but they never called or showed. Hubby got a call last night that roofers were coming today. Um ok. So they started at 7:30 and finished after 5pm. I have a headache listening to all the banging and hammering. Sounded like they were dropping heavy objects on the roof all afternoon. Just glad it is over. The roofers were very polite and professional and I am overall very happy with how it looks. Just can't wait to get the paint on, pavers down and the porch installed.

Our brand new garage. They really did a great job and now we have a electric door opener. I was not sure I really wanted windows on the garage door but it really matches well with the new windows. Overall very happy with the look and the professionalism of the installer.

Painters showed up. Without calling surprise!

Wow. Someone banging on door woke me up. It was painters to power wash our house. Ok cool. The owner says he lost my number. Um ok how professional of you but whatever. I have to let them in garage to get to back of house. Well the owner left his son to do the power washing. The kid left the back door open to the garage and water is all over the floor and underneath dryer and on the hose for dryer. I was livid I shut the door and thought I bet he will just pressure wash with the actual garage door up. Sure enough he was going to but luckily I pulled it down. I mean really? The wash is mixture of bleach and water I guess. Sure smells like bleach. I don't want that all up in our garage or on my dryer for that matter. So looks like they are done. Not sure when they are going to paint. I assume not till after garage door is put up but I better not assume. lol

Someone showed up

Knock me over with a feather! Nice guy from the construction place we contracted with. He repaired stucco and also repaired our fascia. He told me that nails aren't going to stay too long cause the people that built the house had used paper of some sort but that it wasn't a big deal as long as we kept it painted. I told him we weren't planing on putting up shutters or anything that would require nails. Not sure what to think about that. Another thing that bothered me was he was eyeing our new riding mower. He made a point to ask about it. Kinda creeped me out and made me uneasy. Then some people pulled up to the house and supposedly said something about someone falling off a scooter or something. I don't know it was suspicious and here our garage is wide open for all the world to see everything that is in there. Maybe I am being paranoid?

Well no one has showed up today

I assume no work is being done today. However we bought a John Deere riding mower over the weekend and they will be delivering it soon! And have appointment with Lowes for Wednesday to measure for shutters for front of house. I want those babies in right now especially for front living room. Dogs are driving me nuts looking out the windows and barking. We had a film on old windows and you couldn't see out but with new windows they can see everything. Ugh! I supppose some day we will get someone out to finish up the rest of what they are suppose to do. I think if we don't hear from anyone by Friday we need to call or email them. That will make it 2 weeks since their last email.

A little bit of damage from them removing the wood around garage door. I hope they plan on fixing this?
