Welcome to our lot!

Well Rennie doesn't know it but the Bowman household is hitting the blog roll. I love reading blogs and often feel inspired so I thought that I might give the blogging thing a try. No guarantees on which direction this might take. Stay tuned...

Why Bowman Lot 31? Well it's our name and our house lot number where we live. I imagine that where we live physically, mentally and spiritually will be the starting point for most of my blogging.

So what is going on at Bowman Lot 31? Well we're still moving in and around. It seems like it might still be going on for a while, but my goal is that we'll be done unpacking boxes by Labor Day. That means my MIL is moved downstairs and all our stuff is upstairs and unpacked. We're already mostly upstairs it's getting my MIL's stuff downstairs into the mother-in-law suite. The holdup is that we need to clean up all the construction dust down there. This is probably worst part (IMO) about the whole renovation process. There is dust absolutely everywhere in the downstairs.

We are having friends over on Sunday so the goal is to finish painting the kitchen and get it back in working order. From there this is the plan:

1. Clean the downstairs of the layer of dust.
2. Move MIL's boxes and remaining furniture down.
3. Put out kitchen essentials, bedding & bathroom for MIL (since we packed her stuff she won't even know where to start so I feel like the very least we should do is get her a little start).
4. Take before pictures in the guest bedroom and then remove the border and paint.
5. Furnish the guest bedroom.

Order to be determined
6. Tackle the office/craft room (currently the junk/box room).
7. Paint the master bedroom
8. Paint the master bathroom.

Now that's just the big stuff! There's lots of little stuff that I hope we can get done too.

Here is a before pic of the kitchen (sorry for the stuff) so that you can enjoy some after pictures when we're done.
