Week 3

Week 2 has come to a close. We are a little late sharing the images but I will tell you when I arrived at the house this past weekend...I almost started to cry. YUP. Tears of joy of course.

As ugly as the house was when we first saw it to today... is an amazing difference. I now know why Kale called me out on not having an imagination. The ugly is gone and even though I can't see a "home" yet, I can. I can totally see it. All the hard work we have put into the house over this past few few months is finally starting to come together :)

Here is the progress so far:

 Electrical is complete.

Plumbing is complete.

New door track for bathroom door installed

New rafters {?} for living room ceiling

Upstairs bathtub is installed

They started drywall work

More work has been done such as moving furnace pipe from Colten's room and Tyler's closet to new locations so that A. Tyler's closet isn't obstructed by a huge pipe B. Colten can now have a bedroom that doesn't have pipe coming out of the wall and venting through his ceiling.  And a ton of other changes.

This space was only about as wide as a small doorway. We requested that it be opened as much as possible.

Bad news that turned out ok:

3 roof leaks. We totally did not see that coming. We had a really hard rain over this last week and I'm actually thankful that it rained and the leaks were caught before the project was too far {such as ceilings already installed}. This would have set us back on project and money very quickly. They called out their guy to fix the leaks in the roof and were still able to stay on the job that day. They repaired the roof to the extent of us being able to wait a few years to do this costly project. We are so thankful for their expertise!

We are excited to see things going smoothly and on time. We are looking at moving in as soon as we get back from Thanksgiving vacation and are beyond thrilled!
