As you may or may not know we have recently moved to Saskatoon and have been busy doing reno's. The guy I have hired is cheap and easy to pay....but he does goooood work!!!

We tore up all of the old flooring in the main living areas( kitchen, lr, hall, dr) and put in hardwood every where except in the kitchen....there we put in cork which I love. It is easy to care for soft to stand on to cook and it looks good to boot.

I have done some painting but not a lot yet. still waiting for the guy to come and cleant the furnace and duct and then we can put the rest of the house together...well at least that is my excuse as to why it has not yet been done. Pls not all of the dust....oh my word...it makes me so mad becuase i can clean it up and the next day it doesn't look like I did anything at all.

pics of the kitchen, hall, dr and lr. will post some afters later...I need to finish the paint first.
we were going to put a "window" from the dinning to living rm but changed our minds after we had the hole partially cut out so that is now filled in.

I have learned a lot about myself in this experience. I am more anal than I thought I was about being clean and, only I will notice all of the little imperfections on the walls and such so I shouldn't sweat it so much. It doesn' t have to be PERFECT!!
