Newness in the House

*Warning* This post includes pictures of the interior of the house right after the fire. If you do not want to see those images, do not scroll down. They are disturbing to some folks.


There has been some major progress at the house!! Things are moving along so quickly and we were told this week that we will be moving in the 2nd week of February! We had March 1st in our heads and when we got the good news that move in would be a couple weeks earlier, my stress level decreased so much.

I have a few progression pictures of some of the big things that have happened in the last few weeks, but I want to save the real "before and after" images for once it is all done and painted. Walls are being painted this week and floors begin going in late next week!

You can see below the progression of the siding. I am very happy with how it has turned out.
This is how the boys' bathroom looked just after the fire and then the stages since. There is a good shot of Joe the "plaster master" working on the walls! He was amazing to see in action.Our closet just after the fire and then the other day after Allen built the new shelves and such. I was able to "design" the placement of shelving and clothes rods...something I never thought I'd do.

Last is our master bath just after the fire and then the new shower stall that was completed this week. Of course there is still a shower door and fixtures to go in, but we were REALLY pleased with the tile work. We used to have a cast iron tub and decided we didn't need that and so chose to put in the shower. I can't wait to use it!


There will be more later!

I'm happy to hear about the progress, and am glad that it's ahead of schedule instead of behind schedule.
