Everything is coming along!



This is the outside of the house with the walls for the new bathroom built. I dont know when it will get painted...but at least you cant see through the walls! And the stairs are the stairs going into our bulkhead..with a door that closes and seals out mud! Now all that is left is the bulkhead door and we are done!

Here is the sunporch. Dave has been ripping off the cedar shake, which as you might remember was covered in an under the sea themed paint job, some of the remainders you can still see. We are tearing this room apart to put in the new windows! 6 six foot tall triple pained windows! WOW fancy! You can see the windows stacked by our dining room table. And yes the ceiling is still painted like a sky...but that will change. Oh yeah and all our lovely insulation which is currently sitting in the living room! We live in a construction zone!


Here is the progress on the bathrom. The first picture is of where a wall use to be. Dave tore that down, you can see the hole in the floor from where it was. The second and third pictures are the framing he did around this newly formed hole and the fourth picture is the lower half of the hole showing the floor all patched up. The blankets over the window and the other hole in the wall, where a door use to be, are for privacy. Yeah, its pretty ghetto, but it will be fixed shortly!

Pulling Nails


This is the mess we have made in the backyard! And it just keeps growing!



Here are the boys putting up the walls for the new bathroom. The second picture you can see the hole for the window. And the last two are the completed walls and the new window! The bathroom is on its way!



Here is me pulling thousands of nails out of the wall! This wall was covered in cedar shake, so there is a nail for almost every shingle! Lots and lots of nails! I made Dave take a picture of me doing work on the house so all you people out there would believe that I am doing more than just taking pictures!
