Never-ending projects.

Once again we have done a few projects around the house. They seem to usually come about because of something that we finally get around to fixing or spur of the moment decisions or something suddenly gone wrong that need immediate attention - as long as we think we can get away with doing it for free or almost free=) So here is a project update on the Chamberland house....if you actually are interested=)

When we moved into this house it came with a washer and dryer that worked fine so we loaned ours to Chad and kept those in place. Now that Chad has moved out of his place we put our original pair down in the new bathroom downstairs - they are much nicer looking! Anyway, all that to say that we found yet another disaster hiding in the wall behind the old set. So Matthew fixed what he could and covered it with some sheet rock - the boys had fun helping.
As you can see, they were a BIG help=)

The other thing was an endless dripping that has worsened - it comes from our master bathroom down into the boys room downstairs. Matthew took out the toilet and found some more stupid (sorry, there is just no other word) stuff that has been done in this house. It's not like someone just did a poor job on the framing, or a homemade job on the electrical wiring...it's the whole house that continues to shock us with each thing we uncover. Anyway, he fixed the problem and in the meantime we tore up the rotten carpet and unveiled a not-so-lovely wood floor.
While I am at it I will post a couple pictures of the new bathroom we put in downstairs a few months ago - another project we did because of something we had to fix=) Not such great shots but I love this bathroom, it is officially the prettiest room in the house....at least it will be when it's done!

Matthew did some pretty incredible tile work in the shower. It looks really cool!That's it for now until we decide to replace the next thing....which will hopefully be the furnace!
