Updates!

So it's been a while since my last update. We had some extra help from Amanda's family this weekend, and things are really coming along. Our bedroom is finished! Our improvements (since the last posting) have been...

The master bedroom:

• I ripped out the old shelving in the closet, and installed two new shelves.
• Amanda's dad/sister put the closet doors back on.
  

The second bedroom:

• Two TV/data jacks installed
• Closet shelving replaced
• Walls painted
• Closet door hung (with new, matching hardware)
• Window treatments hung

The rest:

• New front door! (Andy hung this for us, and it is a huge improvement to the house)
• Amanda painted the front door (exterior) and the shutters.
• Our friend Nick ripped up the old tile in the entry way, and we'll be ordering the replacement 'tile' shortly.

I've had an absolute field day with the garage. I moved all of our stuff from the garage, to the basement. Let me tell you, we have a lot of crap! Anyway, with the stuff in the basement we finally have room in the garage to start storing things.

The garage:

• I visited my grandparents, and received a bunch of tools (many of which I've already used several times).
  
• Hung shelves. Lots of shelves.
• I went on Craigslist for an old stereo receiver and a pair of speakers. I mounted the speakers on the wall, and the receiver under the work bench.
• We had a 'door' in the basement that was made out of pegboard. I removed the door, and hung the pegboard in the garage.
• Hung the bike on the ceiling.
• Hung the rakes, shovels, brooms on the wall.

Up next:

• Lay the new tile in the entry way of the house.
• Finish painting/hanging the interior doors.
• Start on the kitchen!!!

This week is shaping up to be pretty laid back, so I should have time to post pictures tonight/tomorrow.
