House Remodel

We are having our house remodeled (sort of, just the flooring and new appliances). On Monday, we moved everything out of the house except for the bedrooms. The furniture was put out on the back patio and everything else was put where ever we could find a place for it. The tile guys were supposed to be here bright and early on Tuesday and we were told that as long as everything was out, they would be done in a day. Here are the pictures from Day 1 after they left....

Dining Room


Family Room


Living Room (the tiles are just for show at this point)


When I got home at the end of Day 1, I found that they had only pulled up the carpet and purchased the materials to put in our garage.


Day 2....

Dining room


Hallway and Living Room


Family Room


We did make some progress at the end of Day 2 but at this point, my appliance (stove, fridge, washer and dryer) have all been moved out so they could remove the old tile from the kitchen and laundry room.

I did not get any pictures of Day 3 because I was frustrated at this point. The tile they did have layed out was not grouted, just put down so we had to be very careful walking on them and with 3 kids, a BIG dog and 2 cats, this was a very tough job.
Day 4....
Dining Room
Kitchen
Hallway

Family Room (the fridge is still sitting here because
they have to come back to finish the baseboards)
We now have tile that is grouted but still needs another
wash or two in all of the rooms. The new stove will be
delivered on Wednesday (since they won't be done until
Monday and I have to schedule it out 48 hours and Tuesday
is a holiday). They are supposed to have everything done
Monday so only 1 more day of locking the cats up and taking
the dog to Grannys.
It will be really nice once it is done and we can move everything
back into our house and the frustration will be very well worth it.

It looks like it will be really pretty (and easy to maintain) when it's all done! I wish we had wall to wall tile or hardwood - the carpet we have now is awful! Its already killed one vacuum and we've only been here since February!
