Where Have You Been?

Sorry everyone...once again...life has taken over. We started a much needed project this past Sunday. We are refinishing a basement room that has been "torn up" since the water heater incident of 2005. It is actually the room right outside of the classroom. Which means...

Every last thing is shoved into the classroom and I can not get to anything without climbing over a LONG dresser to get in the room. It is truly a nightmare! But it will be well worth the hassle in the end.
This is a picture of the bare cement floor that we have been working on cleaning etc....If you look close you can see that we are still needing to pull up a few tack strips.
We would like to get some painting done in here, since the 70's style paneling is sooo dark but....

Monday morning I woke up to a broken freezer! We thought at first that Andrew had just left it open but eventually it was OBVIOUS that we needed to buy a new refrigerator. It has been a trying week of desperate search for a fridge, getting them to deliver before Christmas, emptying and refilling, buying ice, removing a too low for new fridge cabinet and cleaning. The downstairs has sort of been put on the back burner. Hopefully, once Andrew gets a water line to the new fridge and it hooked up, we can start back up. I will post pictures of our new game room and our newly arranged classroom ASAP!

Luckily, I had no intention of starting until mid September!
