Remodel 1a

I come home everyday to see something new. It's amazing to watch our ideas move from conversation to drawings and now construction. I'm now starting to make choices and that's been a little scary for me. I know what I like and I know what I don't like, the problem is that all the things that I like don't necessarily look good together. However, I have had my personal consultant, Lisa, close by - thank God for the phone!

I came home on Monday and our deck was gone.

By Wednesday there was framing for our new deck already put in

Dust Everywhere

Our weekend was all about clearing out our basement and garage and by 3pm on Sunday evening we were happy to see our last large piece of furniture go into storage.

The demolition has begun. That's right folks for all that have not heard, we are finishing our basement and adding a bathroom. Once that is complete we will be moving out of the upstairs to lift our carpet and expose hardwood floors, finish our attic and replace all of the plumbing in the upstairs bathroom.

Needless to say we have dust everywhere and I wish my creative sister, Lisa, was here to help me with tile, paint, tub choices. I will post pictures to show the progress.

Surprise!

Tim and I just returned from our two week trip to Miami and Jamaica. We couldn't write about it before we left because of the 4 maybe 5 people that read my blog my mother is one of them and our trip home was a surprise for her. Mummy turned 75 on February 2nd and my sisters and I planned a celebration in her honour.

We spent two days in Miami visiting with family and friends. My cousins even threw us a baby shower to celebrate the wee one. On January 25th, along with my cousin Mari and my Aunt Gem from Miami we headed to Jamaica for about 8 days. Upon our arrival we surprised mummy at her office. We told her that we were having a shower for me on the Sunday. However, we surprised her with a birthday party. Other aspects of our trip included a family trip to the beach, time spent with the neice and nephews, a tour of the Bob Marley Museum, dinner with good friends and a yup a shower for Tim and I which included more of my closest friends.
