phase I complete Phase II in process

Well Phase I is successfully completed and we now have a completely rewired house!! No more knob and Tube wiring!! yeah! I have been so busy with design concepts and Shopping that I have barely had any time to sit down and Jot this all down So I'll be playing a major Catchup Post with this one. Bathroom is now completely gutted and we can see straight through to the rafters! no kidding, Lorne and I with a little help from our friends Jeff and Lisa and Lorne's Mom and Dad have managed to gut the bathroom with only one Accident. Yes we had an emergency room visit for Lorne's Dad who came home with 4 stitches to his forearm. Needless to say they can't work together unsupervised anymore!! I have in way of shopping gotten a Cast Iron Claw foot tub for a Very Reasonable dare I say cheap price! now the fun begins of cleaning it up and getting it ready for use. we have also purchased the bathroom Vanity and I will be going to get the toilet in the next few days , then all we lack are fixtures and we're good to go!
We have picked out our Living room ceiling fan and our lights for the foyer, but we still need to determine Kitchen and Living room lighting and a ceiling fan for our room. we have paint picked out for the Bathroom but none of the other rooms LOL that's next on the list! we also found my kitchen Stove and facet for the sink as well as an over the range microwave/vent. I never thought I would say it but I'll be glad when the shopping is over!! there are way to many things to choose from and it's so hard to meld mine and Lorne's taste for things!
We managed to bring back the hardwood for the downstairs all back into use and will have it refinished at the final phase of things. That was a bit of a chore but it was well worth it! we still have to refinish the stairs Which I am going to do myself, and then we pick out a runner with rails for the stairs to protect them and make the stairwell truly pretty. I'll be posting pictures in a slideshow as soon as I get them all together and such so be watching soon!!! New ceilings will be going up this week and the dry wall in the bathroom done as well. I'll be glad when things are all done but we're getting there. only 5 more weeks and hopefully we'll be out of this rental and into our own house!! we are all looking so forward to it!
