Rooms To Go still has to deliver one without a scratch (we're on try 4) but this is what it looks like now. We moved the rug from the living room into the dining area under this table.

Once upon time, in a quiet village, stood a small bungalow, which suffered from neglect because its owners didn't have any money to maintain it properly. A sign "for sale" had been standing in the front garden for a very long time, but nobody was interested since the bungalow was of very modern design, which was a sharp contrast to the rest of the historic village. Day after day the wood rotted away and nature slowly took over the garden, until only a complete make-over could help the bungalow to survive...

The pour was delayed a day but it finally got completed today.

We start by emptying out the space. The shelves go up into the craft room. The contents go out into the living room for Margie and Ginger to sort.

Kay took this after-the-fact shot, showing how we're already filling up the closet rack (albeit mostly with laundry).

A portion of our driveway and an additional pad were poured today. Grandma made sure to have the boys put their hand marks in it while Mom and Dad were at work.

A prayer mat or prayer rug is usually a square piece of cloth, sometimes even a large pile rug, utilized by Muslims and some Christians for daily prayer. During prayer, one must find a place in the house that is free from distractions and in order to do that, one must kneel on the ground or the floor, bow their heads, and prostrate. redcarpets.ae/prayer-mats-dubai/

Still some work to do but most of the heavy leveling is done.

Medicine cabinet has been taken out for painting out white.

Gah! The Great Wine Rack Collapse! (Only 5 bottles lost, miraculously.) The plastic clips anchoring the racks to the wall just snapped.

This used to hold all my sewing/craft stuff in the office, but we moved it into the garage to make room for the new lockers we bought...

We got vinyl siding put on the house. What a difference! We love it.
