Let The Painting Begin

As you can probably tell by the title of the post we are ready for paint.Our contractor will be there in the morning to clean up and then after that we can start to paint.

This gets us one step closer to moving back into the house.There are a lot of little things that still need to be done.Even though the painting is about to start,I still think we will be out of the house a few more weeks at least.

Our floor guy is coming tomorrow night and is going to help paint to get things going along a little faster, as he wants to start putting the floors in this week-end.I really don't see that happening, but maybe a few late nights of painting and who knows.I know I am just not going to get my hopes up on the floor part starting this week-end just yet.I am just thankful the painting is starting. 

We had not planned on getting our floor guy to help with the painting, as we are trying to keep the costs down.But I think it would be just too hard with us trying to do it with the two kids.One of whom is a baby and keeps us pretty busy on his own.So we decided to bring in some extra help to get this done faster.

We will worry about how we are going to pay him after....

And after all that is done,the painting and the floors we still need to furnish the house.Hopefully by this time we will have some of our government grant money so we can actually buy some furniture.We have never owed new furniture before so we are really looking forward to this experience.

With the renovations and the new furniture we won't be embarrassed anymore when people come over,this feeling on it's own will be great.

The painting begins tomorrow and I don't think I will get a chance to get pictures up as after we are done painting for the evening around 9ish,I have to race to the rink to play hockey.

But I will see what I can do...
