Condo work and visit from Keri's parents

The work has begun on the condo... Keri's parents came down for the weekend and we had a marathon of projects. As it turned out, all 3 toilets had rusted out inner parts, so my dad (who's only home project he despises is plumbing) spent lots of time replacing parts and checking leaks. C.J. and Dad finished the entry-way laminate wood flooring, started the kitchen/bathroom flooring, replaced faucets, and cut new countertops so that they are ready to be installed. Keri and her mom assembled a table saw (with cuts to prove it!), pulled up the kitchen linoleum (and cleaned up the mouse turds we found underneath it), and prepared the walls for painting. We also removed all of the nasty appliances that were in the kitchen. We did have time to hang out and it was fun to work on the condo together, but we are all tired and sore! :) We are excited for the day we can be "done" for a while and just live in it!
