Well, I kind of dropped the ball of my blogging. Life gets away from me at times. We had the house torn up, school started which meant soccer started and dance started, soccer ended and Kaleb went right to basketball, plus I go to the school to volunteer every Tuesday and some Thursday and I could just keep going.
We have most of the remodeling done. The living room/dining room area is completely finished and so in the bathroom on the main floor. It turned out very nice and we are happy with it. I already had quite a few western painting hung up (I'm a big Tim Cox fan) but with the remodel we decided to go total western decor. I even made horse curtains for the bathroom.
When we got that finished with that we took a break so Mark could get ready for the WRCHA (Wyoming Reined Cow Horse Assn.) Futurity and Derby in mid October. He rode his mare Annie in the derby. He did really well in the reining part, but not as good as he hoped in the cow work.
So, we are finally getting the momentum back to finish the laundry room. Part of the problem in getting the laundry room done is that we aren't really sure what we want to do with it as far as organizing it. We need storage room plus a place to hang coats and put shoes. We have made several trips to Home Depot and have come up with several ideas but haven't figured out the magic combo of cabinets and what not. So far everything is stripped out of there except the washer and dryer. It needed some drywall patches and Mark has that done. He had to put a partial coat of texture to make things blend so he did that and has primed. It is ready for paint, which will probably happen tomorrow. Then the carpet needs to be pulled up. We are putting that off because it is glued to the floor. The last carpet that we pulled up that was glued was a nightmare. So we are not looking forward dealing with it.
