Yay, Craig's list and our voluntary work force!

We totally blew it on Monday! We forgot to bring the camera with us to the house. Our friends Jen and Pat came over and helped Bill get about 1/2 of our stuff out of storage and into the big storage closet in the hall upstairs. They also brought their 6 year-old Elisa. Elisa and Abby had a blast running around the back yard (and into a couple of trees) with the Barbie Powerwheels Jeep that Bill got free off Craig's list on Sunday (I promise to get pictures of the jeep in action very soon!). After a trip to the Wilsonville Costco to straighten out the charges for the flooring (we were charged for 27 boxes, but only bought 24. They were very nice about it and gave our money back right away), Doug came back over to the house and finished laying the flooring in the dining room and started in the kitchen. What he and Bill noticed in the kitchen was that due to the age of the dishwasher, it was going to be very difficult to floor around or under. So, lucky me, I got a new dishwasher! Yay! We spent Tuesday evening appliance shopping (something I don't recommend with an almost 3 year-old). So, on to today...


Our new dishwasher! Delivered and installed today by Lowe's. They also took away the ancient one that was already there.


These are my new washer and dryer...purchased off of Craig's list. We love Craig's list.



This is Bill's metal cabinet for the garage. Also a Craig's list find. Did I mention that we love Craig's list?


The living room and dining room with the basic flooring laid. Bill is still working on exactly how to do the steps down into the living room.


The very last board laid in the kitchen floor!



The completed kitchen floor! Now, we just have to find a refrigerator that will fit in the funky space provided for it.


Sorry about that lack of Abby pictures in this post. She spent the evening hanging out with her Grammy Paula and Papa Peter.
