I feel like I'm living in a barn!

Peter has been using his jointer and planer to create the face frames for the cupboards over the past few days - man do they create sawdust! We've probably cleaned up 5 big garbage bags full in the last 2 days, and that's not all of it!

Sorry about the lack of updating, but there really wasn't much progress in December - Christmas stuff got in the way. The last week has been great, though. Peter finished up the boxes for the base cabinets, and I cleaned and grouted most of the rest of the tile we have laid downstairs - very exciting! It still needs to be washed a few times before it's picture-ready, but I'll get one when it is. Oh, and I also finished insulating around the windows and doors.

Our first Christmas in the new house was really nice. We drove past our apartment the other day, and it seems like a lifetime ago that we were there! On New Year's Eve I was remembering that last year at this time we were getting ready to start clearing the lot - what a change! It's pretty cool when I think of it that way. It's so easy to get bogged down in the slow progress of each day. Our New Year's resolution ... to finish the house of course ;)

Our goals for this week are:

• Finish grouting tile downstairs (whatever is laid)
• Have base cabinets put together (i.e. face frame and bottom frame attached)

If we can get that done we'll be in good shape.

Our goals for the month are:

• Finish tiling master bathroom
• Tile half-bath downstairs
• Finish cupboards
• Order countertop

Guess I'd better get off the computer and back to housework! lol
