Rental House: Part 2

Changes are happening! We're trying to get things wrapped up by Friday or soon after,

so we've tried to go everyday for a couple hours. So far I have 53 hours of working at the house. Anyway, here are some pictures of our progress.  

Ally was painting trim under the

 window and found this.

It's GUM! I think we were all

 a little traumatized.



During the weekends Dad was busy sanding the kitchen

floor and helping Grandpa put the new cabinets up. They did a

 great job, it looks amazing! 



The fireplace in the house was hideous. We were

going to paint it white until Mom saw a picture on Pinterest

and told me that she wanted me to make it look like that.

I didn't really know what I was doing, but I tried my best.

The Pinterest picture.



The finished project!

 After painting, changing the light fixtures, installing

 a new vanity, and putting sticky tiles down,

 the bathroom was pretty much done. 

Grandma was put in charge of painting the doors.

 After gobs of spackling and gallons of paint, they look brand-new.

     So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away,

 our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is

 preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look

 not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.

 For the things that are seen are transient, but the

 things that are unseen are eternal. 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

We should all keep this in mind when things get difficult. Like pinterest says-

You are only as happy as you make up your mind to be.
