New Wood Floor

Yea!  The wood floor is finished on the main floor of the farm house. 


I took the photos above today. 
The photo below was taken on Thursday.
GJ the hubby warned me before taking me out there,
it was a messy job.

He was right!
But, the mess was well worth the finished product.


Fortunately, most of the mess was gone by the time I got there today. 

As you can see here....

Spring at the Farm

The grass is turning green and the trees are blooming.
It's spring time in Kentukcy!


Making Progress in the Kitchen

The new kitchen cabinets were hung on Monday. 
The bottom cabinets and counter top can not be installed until the floor is installed. 

These oak cabinets are custom-made by long-time friends.

The pantry above will be completed after the floor is completed.

Upon purchasing the house, GJ removed the old wood-burning stove in the great room.
I am very allergic to wood smoke.
The new propane stove installation was completed yesterday.
It will be used in case of a power outage.

Name for the Farm?

We are beginning to look like a cattle farm....

We have been discussing/debating a name for the farm for weeks.
Thus far, we are undecided ,but have enjoyed the lively discussion.

The Laundry

More water pipe leaks and problems here...


The new tile floor has just been laid and the painting is completed. 
Waiting for the grout work. 
Notice the shower in the photo above? 
It has been moved! 
More photos to come...

The Kitchen

The kitchen, above, had several problems.

You can see the kitchen has been "gutted."  Cabinets and appliances were removed and donated to the Habitat Re-store.  The ceiling and walls were painted and new recessed lights were installed.
The linoleum kitchen floor and the living room/great room carpet have been removed and are ready for the red oak floor to be installed.
