Progress.

April is here. The winter has flown by. We continue to plod on with the remodel, and we can almost see light at the end of the long, expensive, stressful tunnel. This is what's been happening in the past few months in Minturn.

  • Url and the dog down the road have a regular stand off. 
  • We have heat and water!!
Baseboard heaters

  •  I re-finished an old dining room table - I think its awesome - Chris is not so sure!!

Legs.

My lovely purple table
  •  The engineered hard wood floor arrived - we hope to install it this weekend!! Its acclimatising rght now!
Maple Nougat Hardwood Flooring - from SimpleFloors.com
  •  The bathroom vanity is finished
  • The shower is a work in progress - the tiling has been started, but is a job I keep avoiding. The plastic works well enough - so at least we can shower!! 


Plastic covered shower
  • The washing machine works, as does the dishwasher - which is a complete luxury. We need to vent the gas range and also the dryer before we can use those though!
  • Warrick the fish has been reunited with the family, after an extended stay in East Vail!
  • The fire-door in the garage has been installed. As has one of the bathroom doors. We are waiting for the clawfoot tub to arrive before the main door is installed. Hopefully next week!!!!!!! I can't wait to have a bath!!!!
