What?! September was the last blog...

Time flies! September was the last post I wrote, wow, so I would expect you'd think that Jeff and I have completed the renovations right? Well not quite. Things have been plugging away slowly, work and life seem to have gotten in the way of things, but we keep at it. Choosing a tile back splash for the kitchen seemed to take forever, in the end it was the great deal we got at the home depot that sealed the deal. 

Hopes are high that I can finally finish up in the kitchen by the end of November, hopes needed as we are hosting Christmas at our house and I would like that space complete. 

Here is the to-do list, it might be different than Jeff's:

• call chimney sweep
• finish painting kitchen cabinets
• install new hinges in kitchen
• install the new door bell 
• patching walls in the family room
• touch up crown molding in family room
• dab and touch up base boards throughout house
• install new door knob backdoor
• paint door casing on backdoor and powder room door in family room
• furniture for living room- couch or sofa bed
• hang up bulletin board in kitchen to hide electrical panel

Lots to get done, perhaps the next post will be sooner and I will have crossed lots of the list. It's really hard to do stuff in the few hours after the kids go to bed and before we go to bed, often the motivation has waned.
