A JAGUAR NO-NO!

On my drive yesterday I quickly took a few shots of what I thought was just a big NO, NO!  A jaguar parked in a driveway with rims that just didn't seem to look right with that type of car.

What happened to the good old days of the spoke-rims?  I just don't get it.

Sorry, I was in a hurry and couldn't get better shots. Maybe next time....

Ok, so all the walls of all the rooms have been painted and now it was time to do some laminate flooring! Yeah!
My favourite part!  Probably because I wasn't doing it?  Lol.

Alf and his crew, (his son and cousin), came by the day before to bring in all the laminate flooring.  They put the required bundles of laminate flooring in each room and brought in all the necessary tools.

We didn't know it yet, but Alf was going to be our 'saviour' in disguise. Remember that huge hole in the wall? (hint, hint)

So today I took a break from things to show you the progress we've made so far.  But before I mention that, just let me say it's been a crazy week.  First, my glasses fell right into the paint can so it was ALL covered in brown paint!  Don't ask me how it happened... it just happened!  I should have provided you guys with some sort of evidence but I was just too frustrated.  Then the next day, a friend came over to help with the painting.  He's an awesome painter and have been painting for many years before retiring a few years ago.  He offered to help paint to which I replied "No problem!"  I can always use an extra 'free' hand.

Well all was going well till he stepped off the ladder but forgot there was an extra step.  All of a sudden he started going uncontrollably backwards.... backwards... backwards and right into the wall!  Now I have a large hole in my wall!  It was like, "Oh my god!  Are you ok?  Omg, look at the wall!"

CONDO RENO - Part 4, Work In Progress

So Today I will talk about our progress so far.

We started the painting before, during and after all the carpeting and existing laminate floorings were ripped up.

By the way, I'm a terrible painter - or so I've been told by my husband.  I tend to paint all over the place.  You'll probably notice this throughout my photos.  Start here, start there, finish somewhere in the middle, you know, all over the place - like a scatterbrain! Yet, surprisingly enough, the end results are always great!

Also, we decided to save money by painting everything ourselves!
