Preschool Before

Well like I said earlier, there's a group here from Rockville, CT that has come to completely redo the preschool.  Oh my word, these people are so great!  Not only are they about the nicest people you'll ever meet, but they have gone above and beyond the extra mile.  They have no idea how much their work is appreciated!

So, there's not much to show for the before pictures.  It's all one color.  All three classrooms and both the bathrooms are all off white.  So I won't bore you with five pictures that look nearly the same.  Just one.


Now, the office does have some color.  But whooo wheee!  Is it ever time for an update on those colors!



You can see the lovely pale blue and pastel yellow combination here!  Ain't it purdy!  Also, you can't tell in the pictures but the ceiling is falling down and being held up by many a makeshift solution.  Every time the ceiling would start to fall in a new place, someone would come in and nail it back up "just good enough for now".  The carpet is really gross too.  It doesn't help that over the years we've gotten lots of flooding in there.  We have new gutters now, though and haven't had flooding problems since.  Yay!  I watched them tear up the carpet and the pad underneath.  The bottom of the carpet pad was stuck to the cement and they had to scrape it all off.  Gross!  And, as you can see in the office picture, the floorboards are falling apart and many of them are being held on by duct tape. 

Well, that's that for the before pictures.  The after pictures will be a little more drastic.  It's looking good in there and we are so excited!!

FYI...there's a message on you blog that says "Your blog background will disappear from your blog this Friday July 23rd..." If you're like me you rarely look at your own blog. But just to let you know...apparently you need to be on the lookout for a new one. :D

See you in a little over a week!!
