Weekend Fun

This past weekend, beginning with Friday we were hopeful that the rain might stay away a few days, it didn't.  Thankfully a few things did get accomplished even with the rain.  Our garage floor was poured, and our contractor came back on Saturday and cut the lines, it looks great!  Our porch is formed and ready for concrete, it was supposed to be poured on Friday, however between the wait time for the cement truck and the weather forecast it got postponed.  Our basement windows are still not in, they don't exactly fit, so our contractor is going to have to do some modifying. 

We took a day away from the project and enjoyed a family day at the zoo, it was a much needed mind break from all the construction and all the things we have going on.


Saturday morning we went to the house, we touched up paint, cleaned up construction mess, and started laying the laminate flooring in the living room. The flooring was going down okay, just taking longer to lay than we had anticipated.  We worked on the house until we had a Graduation Open house to attend.  Went to the open house, and returned to continue to work on the floor.  We got a little more assistance with the floor from my uncle and cousin when they stopped by, Saturday evening.  We worked on the floors until it was too dark to see! Electricity would be nice, hopefully we hear from the electric company this week!


Sunday we went shopping for a crib, some material to cover the newly painted chair for the babies room, a rug, paint for the foyer (last room that needs paint), and some cleaning supplies to get the awful stickers off the windows.   We got most of our list accomplished, minus the rug for the living room, decisions...decisions... we need to mark the floor where the rug will lay to decided what size of rug we need to buy.  We are also in search of bar stools for our two sitting areas around the island, and the bar area. 

We decided to take the dresser we had painted to the house, along with the new crib, and some odds and ends we got for the house to the house in the evening, and to check out the laminate floor in the light rather than dark! :)   It is like our house has a rain cloud just sitting over it, and every time we get there it just starts pouring rain! We got the stuff in the house seconds before the downpour. 

Hoping today brings us better luck with the weather, than the past few days.
