WE HAVE A PLACE!!! Yes people - for the first time in our married lives we have a place to live and call our own. Michelle's sister has family who own a resteraunt which had an apartment up above it, which wasn't being used. They offered us the chance to stay there for free if we would put the work in to doing it up, and then a greatly reduced rental price when it's done which would include bills! Amazing. So we thought we'd post some pictures so you can follow the progress as it happens. Mike is working so hard on it and Michelle feels so grateful that he is just so darn handy. Is there anything he can't do. So far, nothing.
The grand entrance - imagine Kate Winslet, decending the stair case in a ball gown . . . it is seriously going to be that grand!
The view onto the landing at the top of the stairs
Wait a minute - before we could even blink, Mike had built a stud wall - you go Mikey!
The living room - it looks much nicer when all our junk isn't piled up in there!
The spare bedroom - I tried to add a little feminine touch even amongst the debre!
In our bedroom - Mike just HAD to see what was behind the wall - he has dreams of a fireplace in our room - wait - did he say in EVERY room? Ambitious.
Still in our room - I really didn't think he was taking this one, but revenge will be sweet!
The soon to be kitchen.
How can you glamorise this shot - it is what it is! (Yes we do spell that with an s!)
So there you have it - a work in progress, but it is progressing so quickly now, and we will soon be posting finished shots of our new palace! Yippeeee!
Revenge :-)

Awesome place you guys! Thanks for showing us around. Great before shots and look forward to seeing how everything turns out. (It's looking good so far so keep up the good work!) :) Congrats again Michelle on the new job. It's so great to hear that you're enjoying it. Love & miss you both!
Oh, I forgot to mention...LOVE the revenge photo of Michael. You guys are too funny!
I first started reading this post and thought, "Oh! Mike is posting! How exciting!' And then Mike referred to himself in the third person, but then so did Michelle. And then it was feminine this and I'll get you Mike, that. You guys really are as one. Impressive. Almost as impressive as your new apartment!!! Looks sexy. Sexy like a walrus. Mmmmmm.
we are so glad that you guys will eventually have a place to call home!! it was good talking to you today! michelle- your revenge pic was awesome. it captured the true essence of michael; a bit retarded in nature!! haha big bro. :) love you!!
