Remodel Update

It's been awhile, so I thought I would give everyone an update on where we are on the remodel. We have almost all the electrical done. We need to install some bulbs in the can lights. The concrete guys pour the back patio/walkways and side of the driveway tomorrow. We are are part way done with baseboards and need trim installed around doors and the window in the living room. Then we paint the living room. We need to paint the extension one more time. It was first painted a green that was too dark, like a hunter green, then we swung too light to a lime green, but I think we've found the right color now. We're also waiting for a plumber to come and use a special tool to remove our existing bathroom fixture so we can install a new one. Someday, the vanity will be replaced.

The things that are on our list as God provides are an entry table, an entertainment center, and our desks and office furniture. Because of the dimensions involved, we'll have to do all these items custom. Instead of doing these now, we decided to re-roof and replace 6 existing windows, so structurally, we'll be fine for the next 20-30 years.

I'm happy to say that for the first time in months I woke up this week WITHOUT a new layer of dust on every surface! What am I looking forward to most? It just might be the 20 yard dumpster that's coming so we can throw all our demo stuff away and clear the backyard for landscaping (Greg's favorite part!) It also might be the table and hutch coming Saturday. I just wish the extension was painted the right color first!

Today was spent removing trims from the living room doors and window, going to physical therapy to fix a slipped sacroiliac joint that went out in July after pulling nails from rafters, then again when helping someone move by taking something off the moving van in September. Then I went to work for four hours. Tonight, it's trying to tackle my desk. Tomorrow, we wrap the back of the house so the new concrete doesn't splatter against the new stucco. (That would be so ugly!)

Blessings on this chilly Tuesday night.
