Before and After

I'm finally posting the before and after pictures of the main level of our house. I don't know why it's taken me so long to just do it. I guess I felt like it wasn't done enough to post. We still have some doors missing, some furniture to buy, and some decorating to do, but most of it's done.

Enjoy.

Before

Don't be fooled by the okay looking floor. There were probably 30 screws holding it down where it had bulged from expansion. The trim was also pretty hacked in places where they'd tried to fit the flooring underneath it. We thought it was termites at first.

The tile floor was cracked in places because it wasn't installed with cement backer board, so it was either replace a few and have the same problem later or redo the whole floor. We chose the latter.

I wish we would have taken real pictures of the half bathroom- I think it was one of the rooms that had the biggest change.

Our Love is Fueled by Humidity, Warming Ocean Currents, and an Appetite for Destruction

Every once and a while when the conditions are just right, and the stars are properly aligned a true love is allowed to form...somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This year just happened to be that year.

Down in the Gulf of Mexico, over the last few weeks of hurricane season, the area was rocked by the one-two punch of hurricane Matthew followed by tropical storm Nicole. Yes...we make a good team. There is no one in this world that I would rather destroy the Caribbean and Mexico with than my sweet, tender wife.
