trim for the kitchen

Matt bought the trim for the kitchen. Ill tell you how long it sits in the dinning room. One week so far.

Simons first snow storm

Matt said that Simon went to go outside this morning and came to a stop as soon as the door opened and he noticed the white stuff. He didn't move until Snickers walked by and right outside. Then Simon ventured out and realized how cool this stuff was. Real cool. We had to go play in it later in the day. I then went out to shovel since I did not go to work and Matt did. I shoveled about half and then my neighbor came and helped me with his snowblower. Very nice!

Olly likes the chair.

Snickers has had the bone for a while now! His face lit up so neatly when we first gave it to him.

Simon! Getting bigger.

They like each other, usually.

Simon needs to stop growing!

Simon has slept in our bed for the past week now. He takes up a lot of room but he does keep us warm! And he sleeps on Matts half with Snickers.  LOL

Almost done with the kitchen!

We need to put up the trim around the whole room and window. We also need to finish painting thbaseboards and clean up the underneath part of the cabinets. I love how it turned out and it makes me very proud to know that Matt did the majority of the work himself!

The begginings of the tile flooring

Tom decided to come help Matt in hopes of learning how to do it so he could do his own. Tom laid most of the tiles while Matt cut the tiles.

teamwork! I was part of the team! I had to run to homedepot and get more morter stuff.

Funny story! Always is isn't there?

So Tom wanted some coffee and we had the coffee maker in the dinning room with the beans. No need to use the kitchen at all! Coffee brewed and I asked the guys what they were putting the coffee into. Cups? The ones in the cabnits that you can't get to because you can't step on the tiles? Those cups? Tom was determind to get his coffee. :P

Kitchen update

It has been about 1 month since we (Matt) started the kitchen. We now have complete walls with one coat of paint on them so far. We have counter tops installed that just need caulking to seat them. Matt put the tile backsplash up last night. Our microwave is in place and the dishwasher will get put in after the tile floor is installed. So all that is left is tiling the floor, installing the dishwasher, sealing the counter, painting thew ceiling, more coats of paint on the wall, painting the heaters, buying and painting trim, put up some kind of boarder on the blank wall, buy a cute table for 2 and clean everything in the kitchen and put everything back in. So, not too much left to. /sigh

Matt decidede that the bathroom will wait till probly next spring so he can focus on work and I can focus on Christmas!

We painted a red that Matt liked behind the counters. We painted a very very faint yellow everywhere else.

My dishwasher

The microwave is in and Matt put up tile and this is right after he grouted it

it needs ti be sealed but it looks kinda nice!

Snickers has been working on this bone just as long as we have worked on the kitchen. Kitchen might be done first.

My puppy is growing up!
