Days 15 and 16

It seems like our house really might be finished by this weekend.  They said they will have to come Saturday to put the texture on the walls, but otherwise they will probably be done tomorrow.  I know!  I am surprised too.  But, I'm a couple days behind, so I hope you're ready for a lot of pictures!


There is no longer a hole in our bedroom leading to the loft.


The wall is almost completely done.


They got a lot of the new ceiling mudded.  Those were all things that they got finished yesterday.

When I got home today, my house looked a lot different.  I am loving it!


They started mudding around the new part of our bedroom wall, I know, it's hard to tell in the picture.  You'll have to take my word for it.


The wall is now completely back up, withe some more mud on it.


And, this is what the kitchen now looks like.  I know, it needs some paint.  It's got a multi-colored thing going on right now.  But, isn't it awesome?!?  It's way more open and light.  I LOVE it!

Last, but not least:


The last little bit of wiring that Sam did.  There was an outlet in one of our cupboards that he is moving to the wall.  So, yes, he's made some holes in the wall, and sure he's taken down about 5 cabinets, but it'll be okay.  The holes will be covered by the cabinets and the range when we move it back.  I guess he knows what he's doing since he works in a cabinet shop and they always do these things when they install.

I'm really loving the way that our house is turning out.  I can't wait til it's all finished.  Of course, I'm not really looking forward to all the dusting and deep cleaning that will be required when they stop sanding everything.  But, I guess it'll be worth it!!

Way better use of that space then that silly loft. It does make the kitched some much more open and light. Very nice improvement.

I didn't know the loft opened into your living area AND your master bedroom. What were they thinking?! When can I come and check it out? Good work! Aunt Lynda

The loft didn't open into the living room until they tore the wall down. If you scroll down to the before pictures you will see that it was just a wall before the demolition. :)

OK--I obviously have no memory and no vision, so I will give it up and just come and see the finished product one of these days. I appreciate your patience. Aunt Lynda
