Nu House

Big Poppa and Mommsy blew into town.
Thought we'd take the house apart.

She was....


Morphing...
Salmon grout...outa here!

Move cabinets down, cut cabinets up.


A few of the tools that came out to play.

Building a new counter top.

Mom and Cyd playing happy.

Kids banished.


This THING...
Did this...
So I'm doing this...
Eat that sucker.

The Microwave installer.
He'll git er done, just expect there to be expletives.

Th did amazing for a first timer.


But this guy...he's the MAN. He is a maniac and I LOVE him!!!

Fin...
(sort of)
If I listed all the things we did in six days,
you'd be ready for a nap, like I am after looking at the pictures again.

What's this? A dishwasher? I must be DREAMING!
And is that a microwave where the scary vent was?

And I don't know if you noticed...we don't have cabinet doors and plywood for a back splash.
It's so in these days.

Close. Oh SO close.

Eu de potty...


New vanity, and practically a wall sized mirror.
Lexi can finally see herself again without standing on the toilet and leaning on the wall.


Laundry zone...
Sure it seems like all fun and games with your washer and dryer 10 feet apart. Until you try this...


Complete with new utility sink.
The old one was approximately 1000 pounds and had monsters living under it.

So as you can see: My dad, mom, Cyd, Phil, and my better half
ROCKED THE HOUSE!!

Thank you from the very bottom of my heart!!!!!!!

Please tell me you didn't really do ALL OF that in 6 days. I have been in my house for 6 years and I'm still not done.

Kellie said...

my, my, that is some serious work! Could your dad be any cooler with his handy-man skills? I mean seriously, love the tools that came to play.

HOLY CRAP! In my freaking defense you WERE going to replace that stove-with a stove from ME!!!! And also in my defense I removed it and it's gone. That face is hideous. And I'm also secretly proud of it. Nice house by the way!!

CYD said...

oh, and stop denying you love twilight. STOP!!!

Joyce said...

"TRAVIS - WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME TOOLS!" Many things were said during the project, but that is probably the most memorable.
