more home renovation updates

It has been a busy week here in our home. We had issues with our septic tank so we had the Vandenburg's over to fix the problem. The boys were absoluetly mesmerized by the mighty machine we had in our back yard! I should have taken a picture of their faces glued to the window! It was so cute to see. The problem is fixed! It was just a broken pipe, so it is now replaced and works good again.

We also had our flooring replaced in the kitchen, dining area. The original floor was old, fading and had a bad odour to it. It was so dirty too. Even after washing it, you would not want to wear your good white socks on it, or they would be very dirty! On Thursday the new floor was installed. And we love it so much. It looks so nice! We are happy with the outcome. Next, is the counter top. It is already made and in our basement, just waiting to be installed. That will take place in the next couple of weeks. Then it is a bit of trim painting, new trim, baseboards and window treatments. Stay tuned for the next update! :)

What a difference a little bit of paint and new flooring can do to a room!
