The Help

Nope, I'm not blogging about the book or movie "The Help", I am talking about the the 2 guys that came down and helped us with the basement. My dad and Kaile (Cambria's husband) came down and worked with Bart all day!

My dad worked on installing the new, nice, fancy carpet squares in the bedrooms.

From yucky, smelly, carmel colored carpet


To new, nice smelling, light colored carpet tiles
Kaile worked on demolition of the bathroom and the mammoth, blue steel bathtub

From old, blue 1950's tile and tub
 


Down to the bare studs. We are gutting this bathroom.
Bart worked on framing the new bedroom, kitchen and laundry room. Hopefully any future renters will appreciate having 3 bedrooms and their own laundry.

The kitchen had CARPET-gross.
 

Not only does Bart have to frame new walls but he also has to frame the foundation wall since it was never framed in.

Thank you both so much for coming down and helping us and many thanks to Bart who works hard day in and day out.

It is so cool that you guys can do all of that on your own. Excited to see how it turns out! PS that quote was funny;)
