Flooring the attic

Our attic was getting a little (ok, a lot!) cramped and we knew we were going to need to put a lot more up there once we made a guest bedroom into the nursery.  So Aaron and Matt got some more plywood from Home Depot & finished flooring the attic to give us more space.  And I'm so so so happy to have more room up there & to have everything cleared out of the soon-to-be nursery!!  Now I can't wait to get the nursery done!

We finally got the nursery almost cleared out...
(Thanks Kristen & Jessica for your help!)

But this is what the den looked like pre-attic floor!
Thankfully it only looked this terrible for about a day.

This extra space makes me so happy!!

So much more room for our junk  :)

I'm so thankful I have a handy husband & brother-in-law!!  :)

Tiling the guest bathroom floor

This week, Aaron tiled the guest bathroom floor, which is great because now we have a functional bathroom to use at Harvard!  :)  So you can come over & stay for a while!!  Here are some pictures from the flooring adventure:  

This was what the bathroom looked like before:
gross linoleum floors & silver walls

So after Eliza & I painted the walls white... 

Aaron got to work removing that linoleum.

And then he had a layer of plywood to remove... 

...because the subfloor was rotting through in places.

So he took out the rotting sections ...

And replaced it with plywood.

I like him.   :)

Then he got to work cutting tiles...

And cemented the tiles down to the floor.

    

Then they needed to be grouted.

And cleaned off. 

Voila!  Not completely finished but at least it's functional!  And much more pretty.  :)

I think he did a great job!  Now that he has practice, he can start on the master bath soon... :)
