More renovation news

After two weeks, the renovations in the kitchen are going great. The drywall and ceramic floor have been installed. We've got a new back door. Now we just have to paint the walls, and wait for the cabinets to be delivered next week.

And as of this weekend, our stairs and upstairs hallway have also been refinished. Of course, we had to spend a few nights with our friends Karen & Shawn while all this was being done. (Chemical fumes and pregnant ladies don't mix.)

Here are the latest photos:
