Lots going on. Take a look.

The kitchen floor is in.

These are the installers. The one in front talks a lot, the one in the back does not talk at all.

I like both types.

In Process

Done. except for the final sanding and finishing. It should stay about this color.

Bathroom Cabinets are installed. This is the Primary. We are waiting for the kitchen countertops so the countertop folks only need to come out once

They look great

Back yard - framing and pouring the patio:

Doreen directing the pour:

Finishing:

Washing the top of the concrete off so you can see the aggregate. I think I was saying "Fascinating!"

Looks great!

Refinishing Tub and Finishing Bathroom:

These guys do a great job.

This window was painted. Now look at it!

The colors are not quite true, but this is the living room. I will get better photos later.

We uncovered the wood floors upstairs. They are in surprisingly good shape! This is the twin bedroom (the boy's room)

This is the Primary bedroom. A little polish and wax, and they will be done.

We saved a touch of the historic pink plaster. 

We are moving in in about a week and a half. The kitchen will not be done, but we will make do.

More soon.

Back in Milwaukee, and things are looking good!

 The trip was mostly uneventful, which is the way we like it.

We are getting into a routine with this trip - first stop in North Little Rock, Second stop in St Louis, then Milwaukee. It is mot a bad drive.

We've discovered that the halfway point is the Black River Overlook Park in Pocahontas, AR. We stop and get food somewhere in town (Green's BBQ if they are open, but they are not open on weekends. So we try something else. I think we had Taco Bell (really!) this time)

Lulu is ready to be in Milwaukee:

We are well on our way to completion. You can see some of the progress here.

This is the original primary shower. The fur down there made it very difficult for me to stand up and take a shower. The shower head hit me in the chest.

This is the same shot. We took out the tub and the fur down, replace the tile, and raised the shower head. So now I can wash the top of my head.

The tile looks nice.

You can see the new bedroom color (actual, not AI!) below;

Here is  the original:

I like it!

More later, but I have to scoot to meet family for an early dinner.

And we're on our way (tomorrow)

 We do where we're going:

We're taking our time.

First night in North Little Rock (quickly becoming a favorite destination)
Second night in St Louis (already a favorite since we stay with friends)
Third night in Milwaukee

As always, in spite of the fact we've done this several times before there is always a little controversy about what we will be taking with us.

Looking forward to getting back to Milwaukee, but we will miss dearly our Houston friends.
