New House Pictures

We are finally moved into the new house and wanted to share pictures with everyone.

Floors are finally Done!!!

So our biggest project to date is now complete... the floors. Removing and laying floors in your entire house is no small task but thanks to the hard work of my wife, we knocked it out. We still have lots to do but here are some pictures of recent areas completed.

*also keep in mind these are from my phone so quality is not the best

This picture may not look that special but before there was a break where we were going to lay t-molding. We decided to rip up all our hard work in the hall and master and redo the whole thing. The flooring now flows throughout the whole house with zero breaks.

We still have to put up baseboards, paint baseboards, put up trim and move appliances. Expected move in date is end of month.

House Updates

As you can imagine all of our free time has been put into getting our house ready. The biggest project thus far is the floors. Who would have thought that laying flooring would be such a big task (besides everyone)?

We are about 44% done so wanted to share some pictures with everyone.

The living room. There is lots of flooring pieces on top but you can take my word that it's done and awesome underneath everything.

Our kitchen. We are super happy with how it turned out.

Keep in mind this group of pictures was taken from my blackberry so quality is no bueno. More pictures to come as we fill out more of the house with flooring.

Vegas Trip and House Renovations

This past weekend Erica and I took a trip to Vegas. This was Erica's first time so we spent a lot of time looking at all of the hotels. There are quite a few new hotels even since I last went. We don't take tons of pictures when we travel but here are a few that we did take.





We have been doing a lot of work on the house. The biggest projects that have been completed lately are the cabinets in the laundry room and the cabinets in the kitchen. Our floors are going to be a dark brown so we decided to paint the kitchen cabinets white.

Cabinets before we sanded and painted them.

Kitchen finished!!!

Laundry room with cabinets added.

Next big project is the floors. We will post pictures once we get them in and start to install them.

Back in Texas

Well I know that it's been about 6 years since I last updated the blog but have decided that I'm going make an effort to update the blog more frequently. As many of you that are reading this know, Erica and I have moved back to Austin, TX.

South Carolina was good to us and there are definitely things that we will and have missed but it is good to be back in Austin.

I am working at BancVue as a website consultant (or Relationship Manager as they call it). Since I love working on websites, I really am loving my job. Another great thing about my job is that I get to work with my brother. Not many people get an opportunity like that.

Erica is back at Emler Swim school as a manager. She is enjoying being back at the swim school, playing with kids everyday.

One of the biggest things that we have done since we've moved back to Texas is buy a house (2 weeks ago). For those familiar with the Austin area, our house is in Cedar Park. We are super excited about the new home but have a LOT of work to do on the house before we actually move in.

We will be updating the blog with lots of pictures as we progress on the house, since that is what most of our time will be spent doing. Hopefully you enjoy the pics :)

We are ripping out all the floors in the house and redoing them as well as painting the entire house so the rest of the pictures will be demo/painting.

Kitchen with floors removed. If you are asking yourself "Did they rip out hardwood floors?"
You better believe we did, cause we're awesome at life.

So we ripped up a lot of carpet.

We still have a ton of work to do one the house but we've done quite a bit already. If anyone is ever in the Austin area and wants some manual labor we will put you to work immediately.

Yay for blogging again. Yay for being back in Austin, TX. Yay for football season starting up soon.
