Well, it's a miracle, but the house is starting to look like a place that humans could inhabit! Meaning, of course, there's lights that turn on, paint on the walls, and as we speak, the floors are being resurrected from a very shabby state. Ben and I spent a great deal of the weekend painting, while Jack helped out in the entry way--putting a skim coat of plaster over the ceiling, and beginning to patch the walls in that area. We all worked very hard and got a lot done. Kim came over and magically made the sinks work, too, which is a big deal.
The floor refinishing will be done on Tuesday, meaning we can walk on the floors in socks Tuesday night. We'll need to give it more time before we can put down area rugs and furniture, but that's okay. We'll start gradually moving our things in the back part of the house, where we can access the kitchen, basement, and laundry room, which can act as a storage place while we're waiting for the floors to do their thing. Behold, photos:

Quit a difference between the sanded and un-sanded floors!
