5 months in

It has been nearly 5 months since "the fire". I am happy to say that the "re-build" is about 99% complete!! I will publish before and after pictures when everything is done.

The interior of the house has been completely washed.
Living room, Dining room, Kitchen, Hallway - all repainted
New fireplace - COMPLETE
Living room floor - REPAIRED and refinished
Downstairs bedroom: new walls, window, paint and floor is repaired.
Vinyl siding - COMPLETE

There is just some odds and ends that need to be finished.... not too bad.

We ordered new couches for the living room about 3 weeks ago. They will be ready in September - FOR REAL!! - LOL!!! It's just as well, Mr. Wonderful has been shopping for a new TV for the living room for the past 2 months and he has STILL not found anything to his liking.

I hung the old "silhouettes" in the bay window - (still waiting for the new ones to arrive) - Brandy has been enjoying standing on that windowsill perusing the neighborhood. Time to break her of THAT habit!!

Slowly, but surely, the home office is being emptied and things are finding their way home.

I am happy to have my dining room and kitchen back. Let the entertaining begin!! We don't really need the living room until the Winter!
