Re-shui'd

Our place has been a mess for nearly 2 months! We thought we'd redo the flooring first so the carpet came up. Then we realized the odds of getting paint stain, etc on the new flooring and decided to work on the kitchen cupboards first. Once we began sanding the cupboards we discovered the wood underneath was authentic oak so our white paint no longer seemed appropriate.
We spent the next 3 weeks sanding and resanding the oak in our kitchen and finally started to stain and interior paint last week. By this weekend, we're hoping to have the poly on and the cupboards clean enough to be refilled with their goods.
After that, we should be picking up our new sink on the 11th and can finally install the granite tile countertops.
Once the kitchen is back in order, we'll be able to lay the maple flooring that has been acclimating in our bedroom for 2 weeks. And assuming that doesn't take us more than 2 weeks, we might, JUST MIGHT have our house put back together by the time Paige and her family come visit in November.
Re-shuing is harder than I thought.
