1 month progress [and lots of pictures]

I know this is supposed to be a blog about all things Vermont but right now our lives are consumed with remodeling and the only beer we're drinking comes from our new beer fridge! I will say that we've been doing a lot of ordering out and by far Little Harry's Restaurant in Downtown has been our go to. Their vegetarian burritos are huge and filling and so good, plus the boys love their veggie chili and unlike most take out food, the sizes are as if you are eating in the restaurant. So, there's my Vermont pointer for this blog.

Now onto our renovations over the last month. We've done ALOT in the last month. Everything is painted besides the entryway and basement and as of Monday we now have hardwood floors upstairs, our beds are no longer in the basement and Finn has bunkbeds! Our new cabinets will be here this week but of  course we're gone this weekend for a half marathon so we'll be putting them in as we can. After they're in then we order countertops and hopefully the kitchen will be finished in about a month - or that's the plan. We're slacking on the bathroom remodel and we need all new molding throughout the first floor but besides that it's looking good!

And that was our lives for 1 month, plus a toddler bed.
The side panels and top drywall are now up, but it's still lacking a toilet, and floors and the blue sink still exists.
Two doors since we removed a random closet to expand the bathroom
 
RIP blue toilet and tub, you will not be missed.
 
Wall removed!


Yeah, lets not screw that up!

Tom drywalled where the closet was and we now know his one shortcoming :P

And we have wood flooring! They had to acclimate for about a week so of course they turned into a jungle gym.

Please note the name of the paint color for our front door is Nacho Cheese :)

And finally paint!

I came home from a day long event to wood floors and I became a very happy wife!
 
Master bedroom wood floors.

And as of last weekend we are finally sleeping in our rooms!

Finns bunk beds that he LOVES!

Even Ubu is loving the new house.
 So, there ya have it, a house update. It will probably be another month before you get another but hopefully by then there will be a kitchen and maybe a bathroom, just maybe!
