Since Dave had not had enough projects for the month of December last Monday (the 17th) he came home from work and said that someone was coming that night to measure for the new carpet in our entire house. We needed new carpet I just did not realize how soon we were going to get it. Needless to say I was very excited. Then Tuesday he comes home and says " we should redo the kitchen counters and put marble tile down" (they were originally formica). So the fun began. Here is the before picture of our counters.
Dave laying out the new counter to see what it will look like.
Since we had to tear out all the carpet on our own (Dave does not like to pay for anything that he can do himself) we also had to move all the furniture into our bonus room because it is the only room upstairs with no carpet. That was a lot of work and so Colt's crib got moved into the hallway for the entire week he slept in the hallway with the light on while we worked around him. There was so much noise and activity going on because we could only work on it once he went to sleep and he slept through ALL of it!!
After staying up all week until after midnight by Saturday (the 22nd) the project was completed and it looks great. Dave did such a nice job and I feel like I have a new kitchen!
During the month of December Dave (and with a little help from me) tiled my parents entire kitchen floor, painted my parents kitchen, tiled his Dad's new office building floors and counters, painted our upstairs hallway and Colt's room, tore out all the carpet in our house (though we did pay someone to put the new carpet down) and put new counters in our kitchen. I tell you the guy is amazing and so handy! I told him it was the best Christmas gift I could have asked for. I have now decided that all I want for my birthday and Christmas is new projects done in our house. I think for my birthday in February I would like to redo our master bathroom:)

Looks really good!! You guys have been busy! We are thinking about also doing a new countertop, so I may have questions in the near future.
hi. i'm sorry for using the 'comments' section to contact you, but i'm not sure of any other way. i arrived at your site by googling 'calcified hematoma'... our wife and i have a very similar story to yours. a big hematoma that calcified (i.e. turned to bone) on our son's head. neurosurgeons recommended surgery, which we want to avoid if at all possible. my wife and i have opted to wait it out and hope it subdues or goes away completely. i see no evidence of the bump on your son - can you please verify that his bump did indeed calcify, or did his stay soft? again, i'm sorry for contacting you this way, but there is not a lot of info out there on this condition. don_good76@yahoo.com. thank you. don.
