Day 88

Today we continued trying to wrap up all the detailed items. Dad came over to work on wiring to the multipurpose room, and almost had a major accident. He slipped and almost went through the ceiling, luckily the sheet rock is the only thing that came down. Mark also put up the trim in the hall way, I finished painting the hallway closet (one coat) and cleaned out our master closet. It had been little bit's area, but now we moved her stuff to the play room.

Where dad almost fell through the ceiling, you can see the sheet rock on the ground.

The attic. Between the stairs the the board you step on there is nothing there. We will have to fix that part later. 

Wiring the multipurpose room, along with little bit wanting to measure herself. 

Trim in the hallway. We still have to replace the lights in the hallways.

The hallway closet with one coat of paint.

The master closet all cleaned out and ready to go.

Day 87

My goal today was the try to finish all the details on the girls' side of the house. We also accomplished all of it. I need to pick up more tile to finish little bit's room. I finished our middle one's room except for the closet, and I finished sealing our older one's room. The only thing left is little bit's closet, touch up paint in our older girl's room, trim in the hallway, and paint the hallway closet. We are almost there on that side of the house.

The siding is coming along, but I forgot to take a finished picture. I will have to post one later. 

The middle one's room all cleaned up and ready for carpet.

GiGi took a nap while I touched up paint in the room.

Buying more trim, door jamb, and door trim.

Found all the corner pieces for crown modeling I wanted.

The back paneling and wood for the built in cabinets for the living room.

Day 86

Mark's biggest job today is putting up siding. This will be a challenge since it will rain all weekend, but we have to get it up over the next three days because we are renting a tool to help put it up. I worked on little bit's floor and we were able to put up more trim.

  Yes, it was really hot, I needed windows and a fan

The living area is pretty much done in the painting department, except for a few details

Mark and my in laws worked on the siding for most of the day

Day 85

We had to go by Home Depot again to check out carpet and put of supplies. We finally decided on flooring while we were there. We also are going to put down the flooring ourselves in the playroom, multipurpose room, and living room. Mark has put down hardwood floors before, so he decided to do it himself. They will come measure for the carpet in a week, so that is exciting.

Day 84

Even though we were barely able to work at the house. My in laws helped out by painting the living room. This week they were able to pain the ceiling and the whole living space. I worked on the dark grey around the doors, mom painted our bathroom, and Mark continued to work on the multipurpose room. It is starting to look like a house.

We put up trim in the pantry area.

Bathroom is getting painted

Mark installed the door to the multipurpose room.

Day 83

Today was tumbling day for little bit and we did not make it over to the house. Again this was a really slow week for us. Thank goodness we have a three day weekend ahead of us.

Day 82

We did not work on the house today because the girls had there athletic banquet. Our oldest took home several awards. We are proud of all three beautiful girls.

Day 81

After a busy weekend we took off on Monday from working on the house. This week is going to be really busy as well, so we did not accomplish too much.

Day 80

We took it a little easy today after the busy weekend. Last night my hubby got the truck stuck in the front yard of our old house. He thought he could drive through the yard for some reason. Also, you can see the problem we have with our current house. The girls are trying to help me cook and do dishes, and we are all running into each other. Oh and don't forget about the 70 pound boxer who needs to be in the middle of it all as well. :) I will be glad to move into our big kitchen. We did not do too much at the house. We worked on paining the ceiling and starting to edge around the front door. We are doing a dark grey around the front door, but light grey for everything else.
