House Renovations cntd

After much shopping and price comparing we were able to find the tile and laminate flooring we liked and it has started to go down.  We also picked out our appliances (fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer) and picked up all but the fridge to install at the house because the fridge is on back order...we'll have that next week.  We've (well my dad) fixed electrical...a lot of electrical, installed new door handles, put in a new kitchen sink, re-hung the patio door and put on a handle, replaced at least a dozen light bulbs, installed the appliances, and other little odds and ends tasks.  We are not quite ready to move in yet, flooring has to be finished upstairs and there is a bit of clean up to be done first but I'd say in the next few weeks we'll be moved in :)

Here are a few pictures of before and afters so far (remember we're not finished totally)

There are two more bedrooms that flooring had to go down in and they were working on that when we left last night so I'm sure I'll have more updated pictures soon :)
