SHOPPING!

We didn't get a lot done at the house today, but I did get a second coat on all the trim and G. touched up all the ceilings and painted the doors with the semi-gloss paint. Mom (with some help) got the carpet off the floor in the bathroom, and we were all pretty grossed out by what was under that.

And we went shopping...

We got some great ideas and prices on cabinets, Corian countertops, and flooring (bamboo!) at Home Depot and Mom also took advantage of a bunch of deals (12 months no payments, no interest financing; 10% off all appliances, $100 rebate on each Maytag appliance, and free delivery) to order her washer, dryer, refrigerator and stove. They'll hold them for 3 months, so that means we want to get everything else done in three months! :)

Finally, one of Mom's friends wanted to get a better idea of what the kitchen looks like, so I did a panoramic thing, moving around the kitchen. (Keep in mind that the kitchen is where we're "storing" all our working and cleaning tools, so it's a mess from our stuff as well as the usual mess!)

Starting in the SE corner and going clockwise:
Doorway to the hall--
the "big" wall, to be opened up, we hope--
short wall--with the pantry that we'll probably take out so the fridge can go there--
Same wall, over a bit--doorway into the dining area and back door--
Sink area--
Corner--
Back to where we started (and where the stove will go)--

I had no idea you were planning on doing such extensive remodeling! I thought it was "just" painting and clean-up work. Wow. When will your mom be able to move in? And dare I ask what was under that carpet?
