Starting to see progress 7-30

We are starting to see some progress inside the house. Here is the shuttle mural that covered the entire wall of the bedroom that we have chosen to be the guest room. Today it was covered up with drywall....yay!

The weird textural art mural on the guest bathroom wall was sanded down yesterday and the first layer of mud to cover it forever more has been slathered on.

We didn't like these three glass panes in the wall, so Larry removed them and our contractor has opened it up and has finished the edges off really nice....really opens up that area!
A shelf will go on the bottom ledge. This wall is between the family room and dining area of the kitchen.

My washer and dryer have made it into the house...getting closer to being hooked up...the laundry basket is getting really full!

Today we started the process of choosing flooring and carpet...we have changed directions a few times, but we have finally decided what type of flooring is going to go where...now we just have to choose the shop and products. We consulted at two today in Auburn and go to the third in Placerville tomorrow.

I think people that build their own homes are gluttons for punishment...just remodeling/redecorating takes so much time to shop for materials, schedule and get the work done.....crazy! Deciding on a house design and building materials would take me forever...ha ha ha!!!!

I forgot to post pictures of the doggie door that they had cut into the outside wall of the house. We don't want or need it, so it got boarded up today...woo hoo. Oh and we decided on paint colors and bought paint today....we are hoping to have the bulk of it all done in a couple of weeks...by my birthday would be wonderful!!!!
