Home Improvements






We have been wanting to replace our builder's carpet with hardwood since we moved in 7 years ago! Dave did it himself and saved us thousands...George was so into it! He didn't want to go to bed or school while Dave was working. He was a great helper.So far, the study, the living room and the dining room are finished. The kitchen is next but I've been told that the kids and I have to leave the house indefinitely while Dave tackles that project. Dave recently finished the bookshelves in the living room. Charlie was the big helper with them. He was painting! He ruined a pair of pants but it was worth it. Anyhow, Dave is still doing lots of side jobs for people. Its more of a hobby than a job, as he enjoys it so much. As of now, he is scheduled to build another bar, bookshelves and finish a basement. Don't ask me where he will find the time...my kitchen comes first though! Anyhow, I am so impressed with how the house looks that I just had to show it off!
