A 5 year old and a newly found camera (mine)

I love this kid...She is too funny...

Anna is getting ready to leave the house. She has all her bags (what is in them only she knows and we will find out later when we realize that the toaster is missing or the little knobs to turn lamps on!) Anyway she asked me if I could help her carry some stuff. I look down at her and she has bags, a pillow, a lunchbox, and a box of tissues. I asked her why does she need a box of tissues. She relplies..

My nose is cloggeded and I may need to sneeze it and I will need a tissue for that.

I carried the pillow to the car for her while chuckling!

Makeover cont......

Ok where are we now? you may be asking.

The kitchen is now back to being able to be used. I have counter tops or at least 10 feet of it. I have new lower cabinets. new floor walls without a condiment pass through, sink, stove/oven fridge. I also have my microwave in the house(it was in the garage)


















The walls have been painted and the trim is done. What else is left you may be wondering.... but before I tell you that I thought I should tell you about how we almost became toast.


The week before we the oven came we called our propane company to come out and disconnect our gas lines to the old wall oven and cook top. The man came our and said he disconnected the wall oven line (since we no longer needed it) and he capped off the line to the cook top so we could safely work without fear of blowing up.

So the following week another company came out to install the range. After working for a while it was time to hook up the gas and test the oven.

"Mrs. Eyler," the installer calls,
"yes" I reply
"we need to disconnect the oven", he said.
"why", I said.
'Let me show you.."

He takes me to the basement and shows me that when the propane company came out to do their job they did disconnect the wall oven and instead of eliminating it at the source he just cut the pipe from the oven and pinched it closed with pliers and left it connected to the main gas line so when they reconnected the gas to the new oven it went through the pipe to the old oven and was just leaking into my basement.

It was a good thing that the installer was not in a rush to get out of here that he was able to hear the slight whistle that the leaking gas was making in the basement or how do I say it.....BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more Eyler home. Thank you County Propane.

I of course called them immediately and they came out and fixed the MAJOR ERROR on their part!

So now that we are safe we now still have work to do.

We have to finish staining the new cabinets, painting old hardware on old upper cabinets, building a breakfast bar, adding the extra 3 feet of countertop, build shelves where old wall oven was for a coffee bar and microwave. After all that then I have to clean and put everything back into the kitchen.

So what is the total cost of our makeover???
