Remodeling Fun!

I thought I should get a new post on here, so everyone can get their minds off of the previous topic. Mike and I have been busy with the basement! On Wednesday we got the bar area tiled, and are finally getting around to the grouting tonight, once the kids are asleep. We ordered some tin ceiling panels from Canada to use for our backsplash, and our soapstone countertop and sink were installed last week. Carpet comes on Tuesday. Now we just have to decide on furniture. That is really hard for me, because I know since our space is small we can't let our couch, etc. overwhelm it. But it is hard to picture until it is actually there (and it's too late).

Mom and Dad are at Bridget and Steve's this weekend to babysit Maren while they go to the Gophers/Badgers hockey games. I think they are doing some readying of their house to put it up for sale, as Bridget just called to ask is we could bring some grout along next time we come to Madison. That might be soon- our family is going to Kalahari at the Dells next Sunday-Tuesday, and then Mike might drop me off at Bridget's for the week. My Christmas gift to them was labor on their house, so I'm ready for them to put me to work!
