Home Makeover: Day 2

Here are the pictures from today.  It doesn't look like much progress, but they pulled up the flooring in the laundry room and half bath today.  When I stopped by, the poor guy was scraping with a shovel to get the adhesive off.

Austin and I are painting the interior ourselves.  Okay, let's be honest, Austin is painting the interior and I pretend to paint.  He is making progress.

Home Makeover: Day 1

Most of you know that we just closed on our new house in CA.  To answer the lingering question: we have not sold our NC house, yet.  We are still waiting on God's timing for that sale.
