Big weekend.
Not only did we help Will's sister Carol move, Will got some of the living room floor down yesterday, and Mom and I got the carpet in Huck's room torn up as well!
I also got the tiles ordered to cover the brick on the fireplace

Feels like day 100
We got the living room painted, and trim all finished up.
Big news is that round 1 of the flooring is in, 4 days early!! Round 2 of the flooring should be here tomorrow or Friday. We put 61 boxes of flooring in my Dad's 1994 S-10 pick up and our Kia. Heavy load.
Bigger news, the cabinet manufacturer called and said our cabinets could ship as early as the first week of July. We were thinking more like the first week of August. That will reek havoc on a project plan.
Tile selection for the fireplace surround. Only 7 inch strips on three sides under the mantel. The circles are 3/4 inch each. Our friend Nancy is going to help us install!!

Day 2
So yesterday we got the carpet from the living room out, and the old laminate out of the hall. Both are at the dump! Today we went to get paint for the living room, and supplies to redo the fireplace!
This project keeps growing, and growing. Late last night we decided to tear out the carpet in all the upstairs rooms (2 bedrooms, and an office) and replace all the flooring with laminate hardwood.
Biggest stumbling block so far is the crazy-stupid amount of junk I am finding in our house. Goodwill and the dump get ready!!

What can we do ourselves...
Got the quote on labor yesterday, and have a bit of sticker shock.
We've started going through it to see where we can cut things down or out. Think for sure we are doing the demolition ourselves, and it looks like we are also laying the laminate floor. Also I think we are going to recruit friends to help with the backsplash. (Any takers?)
Having to rethink replacing the window (not sure we can do this one ourselves or not).
I am ready to get started, but Will says I can't tear anything out this weekend :(
