Under Construction!

Kurt has decided to do some remodeling before the baby comes.... Our downstairs was all carpet in the living room and den, and linoleum in the dining, kitchen and bathroom.

Since our dog is an indoor dog, she sheds all over the place and the hair just works its way down in the carpet. No matter how much vacuuming we do, we can never rid it of hair.

Here are some before pics:




Well, we can't quite get rid of the dog just because we're adding to the family... so to clean things up a bit, our whole downstairs is going to be ceramic tile. Kurt is doing the work himself which will save us a ton of money.


Here are some of the inbetween pics... Kurt has ripped up all the flooring and our whole downstairs is concrete now.


It's kinda messy in the meantime, but will be so nice when it's finished.


Stay tuned for the "after" pics. Hopefully it won't take too long to complete. I want my house back to normal so we can start thinking about working on the baby's room next :)

That will make things so much easier to keep clean. You could just run a vacuum over the tile. Im excited to see the results :)

wow, what a job! Way to go! That will be nice once it is finished!!
I hope the baby doesn't hurt "itself" when he/she tries to walk/crawl. My sister-in-law has her whole downstairs tiled and kind of had that problem.
Sorry, do show us the after pics though, it will be nice to see!!
