Posted in Family, Oliver by david on the October 15th, 2006

Painting is done (as long as the new molding covers up the gaps near the ceiling), and we installed a new carpet. It was a busy weekend.

Weekend Update

Saturday the paint stripping was completed, and all 4 walls have been primed. Not a ton of progress, but least another step forward. Sunday we took a run to wonderful Noxen, PA to a pumpkin patch with a couple friends. The kids were mildly interested with a few things, and we picked up a few pumpkins to carve.

Let the improvements begin

Well as you may or may not know, we have our second child on the way. So we are preparing the house for the arrival of this baby with various home improvement projects that we have been wanting to do since we moved “back to the valley”. The first of these is we are going to move Oliver’s room to what we used to consider our spare room, and his room will serve as the new baby’s nursery, thus providing us easier access to her room, and hopefully without disturbing his sleep….

So far the progress has been slow but I am going to try and keep pictures of the progress in another album Here
Step one is to take up the carpet, get rid of the wallpaper border, and strip the paint. Normally we would have just painted over the paint, but it was textured and there was at least 5 layers of about 3 different colors. Also I have gotten some of the primer done in the room as well.

Some Old pictures laying around…..

I just found a couple pictures leftover on the camera from vacation and a few pictures taken in September when we got back.
