We left on Friday afternoon and returned on Saturday night really late.<br /><br />We got several things accomplished:<br /><br />1. Painted the Master Bedroom, Guest Room, Upstairs Bathroom and Hallway.<br /><br />2. Erik hooked up the surround sound system, so like never before, you can watch a movie, listen to CD's or radio and have a TV that you can actually hear!<br /><br />3. We laid a new floor in the laundry room. Erik started the work and then I just helped a little at the end.<br /><br />We have the same floor ready to go in for the main bathroom.<br /><br />We are getting closer!! I think we have to paint the moulding for the doors and trim, then the new carpet and wood floors will go in. This place will look like a whole new house!<br /><br />We will for sure need some rugs to go around this place!!<br /><br />Hope you like the update pictures!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460144084041610469.post-6731165203072689472008-11-10T08:03:00.001-08:002008-11-10T08:06:24.687-08:00Flooring Changes....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOgM_yAmXl4-BE2m1wPujMh1gLfpGil1TXh3SlcsArBwHv4I4ikfVcH3EyYAzTH0q4oKqGzG87xNgku-cPnANVlVaztnDCSLzMi-Fa7xTAD_iQ5zpbsb4_bxJr68lyhfQVKxnUCjhhYQ/s1600-h/Flooring+Collage+.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267060735959370434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 191px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOgM_yAmXl4-BE2m1wPujMh1gLfpGil1TXh3SlcsArBwHv4I4ikfVcH3EyYAzTH0q4oKqGzG87xNgku-cPnANVlVaztnDCSLzMi-Fa7xTAD_iQ5zpbsb4_bxJr68lyhfQVKxnUCjhhYQ/s400/Flooring+Collage+.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well, We might be on our way up again this weekend to work on painting the upstairs, getting the carpet ripped up and possibly painting some moulding. I am attaching a copy of the options that we are working with for flooring. Not sure what the concensous will be but once it is done, I am sure any of these will be a HUGE improvement! It will be really pretty in there and so serene, I am LOOKING forward to spending tons of time there this summer and maybe renting it out for a couple weeks too! </div><div></div><div>Till next post...</div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/272/245F2D0C16B458CBD7CDCB6AD6DDABD3.png" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460144084041610469.post-85295253841706354322008-10-18T18:46:00.000-07:002008-10-18T19:40:04.563-07:00Renovation...Part One =)So, Erik and I headed up to the Cabin in northern Minnesota on Wednesday night because Jaxon and Mason were off of school. We had been anticipating this for a couple of weeks so we lined up a dumpster and made sure to get things in order that we would need to start the "OVERHAUL" on the cabin! <div><div><div><div align="center"><div></div><br /><div>For any of you that ARE NOT Fenn family members reading this, Erik's brother, Mark lives in Madagascar Africa but built this cabin as his home for Minnesota and since he is home very rarely the cabin has gone unused for a while and could use some updates. </div><br /><div></div><div>First, I wanted to say thanks to Steve because I know that he has put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the cabin over the years also. So have Erik's Mom and Dad, and it is NOT our intent to make this cabin just our hangout. We simply want to make it a great place that we can all use but we might also be able to rent out occasionally for groups / vacationers. In order to do that, we need to spruce it up a bit....So, here we go!!!</div><br /><div></div><div>The family that Mark had rented the place to left a bunch of trash items on the property so Erik and I loaded all of those items into a dumpster as well as Erik cleaned out the shed, raked the yard and put down fertilizer. </div><div></div><br /><div>I mostly focused on the inside, Erik assisted with the basement, moving furniture and old items out as well as the electronics and painting..Thanks babe...kinda nice without the kids for 2 days!!!</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258682411179257090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghsYdnyKUQlslyrIEIxbv_79PEYPbZo7HD8S2hCzkAKHNQw1uDYYmbM3McNINeQzmhxjjWwLzP4KBIioqE3MiCGv65FrKGV3K0pigEoCP2XFq2tZIGoVsxvlnA8_QGTZsmhyphenhyphenaqL8ecfCQ/s400/DSC_0181_0907.JPG" border="0" /> This was the picture as we were leaving today...pretty proud of our hard work...<br /><div>look at the dumpster!</div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258683029547629378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIqcPD5mi-SzjDwIzCNk_6kFsEZru_rf50BCbW6WUiSD5Ok7BLA3AJarFP8zJU_YRuQbPoGIBz7I7mIx8TF0rqmPJhSZRfYMd3Va5WrRN9GSpZkJcYkHetyWC-1v1TGsjOfS4DAq9SB0w/s400/Back+of+Cabin+1.jpg" border="0" /> I just loved this picture...had to post it.
