Inside and Out!

This was a big week at the house!

So much stuff changed and so many people were there coming and going.

At one point we had Kevin and his crew, Justin the plumber, Jeff the electrician, the guy from Noland doors, Jeff our cabinet man and a crew roofing.

Plus Mark and Owen working on the back deck.

That's a busy day at our place!

Here's what we have though:

All the plumbing is done but on Monday Justin will come back and test all the lines. Then he won't be back until it's time to install everything.

The platform for the tub in the master bedroom has been built:

The lights and wiring have been started:

The fireplace area has been walled in and it's ready to go:

The frames have been built for the pocket doors leading to Mark's den:

The boys now have a bathtub:

Mark worked faithfully on his project all week.

(Do I even need to tell you that he loved every minute of it? 

I thought not!)

The roof is completely done now and the majority of the siding.

Here's the back view:

The boy's side:

And the front:

Lots of changes in just one short week and lots of decisions that had to be made (Where do you want the lights in the hallway? What kind of lighting are you wanting to read by? Do you want a TV in the kitchen - um yeah! - and if you do what side of the kitchen would you like it on?)

I love making the decisions but a lot of them are about things that I have honestly never even thought about. I often just ask the electrician/plumber/roofer/builder/excavator/cabinet maker what their opinion is and what the benefits of one option over the other is and then go from there.

I can't wait to see what next week brings!
