Our house is beginning to look like one now. All the paneling is out, all kitchen cabinets are gone, all floors are triple-cleaning, sheet rock is in, floors are washed twice more after sweep-up, primer is painted in LR and Kit., all paint is purchased, all cabinetry is purchased, new bath tub is installed, new bath vanity, mirror and toilet are purchased, outside has been power-washed, smokers' inside windows are being cleaned three times each to remove tar and stains, trim is ready to be painted. I'm imagining my furniture being placed in the rooms for the first time. Yes, this building is becoming home and Bill and I have done all the work except for the sheet rocking so far. We can't do the flooring or carpeting but that will be all we contract out. There is a strong sense of ownership in a house you redo yourself. Can't wait until I can show some pictures.

Sally, it is good to hear that things are going well for you! I'm waiting now for photos of the remodeled house. Sounds like a ton of work. You are right, it is only when you have some sweat equity that you really feel it is your house.
We miss you...I miss you!
