Mud Lady

Kyle and I have been making good, but SSLLLOOOWWW, progress on the new house.  Since the last time I updated, we have finished stripping the paint off the kitchen cabinets, framed out the beam b/w the kitchen and living room, pulled up the old laminate flooring in the kitchen, started taping and floating the drywall (I thought this was the mud man's job, but somehow, it became mine) and laying down new tile in the kitchen! And, we are completely moved in.  Things are such a mess!
 

We had a fun surprise last night.  We were watching a movie and doing laundry, when all of the sudden we heard a bubbling sound coming from the bathroom (I should have been suspicious earlier in the day when the toilet started bubbling as I was taking a shower...).  Our main line was backed up and all the water draining from the washing machine was backing up into the bathtub.  EEK!  Thankfully, by noon today we were able to have it fixed thru our home warranty.  It turned out to not be such a big deal, but it sure was gross.

Hopefully the next time I post, the house will be starting to look a little more put together!
