More

Kyle got the doors painted and installed.

Then he was able to clear out the garage so I can park in it.

We found some curtain hardware to hold the curtains open and got them installed on the dining and living room windows.

Kyle and I hung our wall hanging that we bought on one of the floating islands of lake Titicaca in Peru.

Kyle hung this cabinet that he built many years ago.  

I installed all the doorknobs (well, Kyle did a few).

Kyle swapped out the switch for a sensor for the lights on the stair treads.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any sort of ambient light sensor so the stair lights go on ALL THE TIME, even during the day.  We're going to have to fix that because it drives me a more nutty than it probably should.  :)

See- lights on in the day- every time anyone or anydog walks by.

The kids found their old toothbrush holder in the bath toy basket (they also found the bath toy basket).  Luckily my nearly 12-year-old son doesn't mind the jungle animal theme in their bathroom.  

We hung some shelves in J and A's rooms, above their beds so they'd have somewhere to put their clocks and lamps and Magic the Gathering cards.

Today my bathroom mirror came.  I love it.  I'm really glad we went with a custom mirror instead of just buying the biggest mirror we could find.  Especially since the plugs would have made that option difficult.

Odds and Ends and Moving

Kyle fixed this pipe conduit that was broken.  He had to chisel out the stone around it, so the stone guy will have to come back to fix this part.

J and his friend N and A and CP spent an afternoon moving the bulk of the toys over.

Then they had a popsicle break on the back porch.

The contractor sent a guy over to put some finish trim around the exterior doors.

Kyle put up some mirrors and towel bars.

The kids bathroom has hooks instead of towel bars.

 I've been washing dishes and putting them away.

Hall bathroom.

Thanks to all the great friends who came and helped move all the heavy stuff.  

Everything piled in.

Starting to put things away.

We moved the kids beds over, and this is what we found under the bunk beds.  They weren't too happy about having to clean that up.  Clearly they have too much stuff.

We went to Ikea again last night to see if they had more barstools, and they did, but we also decided to get a table.  Kyle was going to build one, but we liked this one, it extends quite a bit and fits really well in our space.  We also got a couple of rugs and a bench.  Ikea didn't have the chairs we wanted so we'll have to go back again for those.
