Finishing Touches

That is all we have left to do on our current projects.  Painting and installing trim, putting up shelves in the closets.  The nursery carpet is being installed as I type!  This weekend Darlene's mother Deb is bringing over the crib and changing table.  And we will be able to start putting away the awesome gifts we got from the babies shower!  They have taken over the office area.  It is very exciting to say the least. I am getting all of the rest of my school work done for the end of the semester.  It is coming up so fast.  Hope I can get it all done! Speaking of work... I better get back to it!!

Bath

The bathroom renovation has started and is in full swing.  Overall things have been going pretty smooth.  I was hoping for more help on demolition weekend but a few people flaked out.  My buddy Mike Branstrom was there and ready to work.  Could not have done it with out Bricks and his bag of tricks.  He got the majority of the walls framed up after we ripped everything out.  We were definitely tired that weekend.  After that things progressed well.  Electrical installed, plumbing installed, new insulation with a vapor barrier.  My dad and Ron got the plumbing for the toilet relocated.  It went pretty good.  I thought we would have had many more issues, but we didn't with that.  It is mounted temporarily for now, but it really helps for all of Darlene's late night bathroom trips. Most of the drywall went up this weekend.  Ron was busting it out yesterday while I was at work.  Just have to get the tub drain to stop leaking and then it is mud time!  Hoping to get it all done by t
