The end is near...

What a wild past 4 months. I can't believe it has been that long!!!!  For all who need a little background on the situation, 4 months ago, I tore out over 1000 sq. ft. of our flooring in our house and was intending on installing new wood laminate flooring as a "keep me busy" project while Rich was deployed.  I got a third of the living room and dining room complete when I noticed a little dirt pile that would kept coming back after I cleaned it and sprayed God knows how many chemicals on it. Long story short, we had termites (our house is only 3 yrs old).  I had to rip out the portion of flooring I had installed and the biggest wall in our house and one of the walls in a bedroom were completely ripped out.  So for the past for months, our house has been a construction zone.  Rich will be leaving again soon so we have been busting butt to get everything done.  The contractor we went with has been great and has moved along very smoothly.  The painting is almost done and the brick on the back of the entire house will go back in hopefully next week.  I gutted the master bathroom (when in Rome...) and Rich and I tiled and I am now finishing painting, mirror replacing, etc. In addition, we are about 90% complete with the floor installation! I will say, I have been super artsy the past couple of weeks making fancy pillows, silk curtains, cornice boxes, etc. So that is the reasoning behind my lack of posting.  Have no fear, the house is back on track and so am I. I will post pictures this weekend once everything is complete!
