So much has happened the past week!
- After knowing there was water damage to the entry wall, when we tore it apart, we realized that the entry wall was only being supported by an inch of supporting beam in basement (see slideshow below). This was a HUGE discovery…because it could have been a WAY bigger problem later on down the road.
- The plumber got a LOT of our old pipes out and replaced them with PVC.
- Our laundry room was moved from the grungy basement to the main floor! Thanks to the plumber and our ultra handy friend John!!
- Our friend Adam and my father in law SLAVED to get the particle board out of our future living room. Only 4 rooms to go!
- My mom, aunts, mother-in-law and Grant helped tackle a lot of painting jobs. Feels and smells a lot better. Specifically, our bedroom, master bath, and nursery have all been painted and are ready for carpet!
- The downstairs bathroom has been re-wired and re-framed and is ready for drywall. We picked out all of the tile, lighting, the sink, shiplap, etc. and I look forward to sharing the final transformation with you soon!
- Our broken window has been taken out and is being replaced with new glass.
- Thankful that next week we get our vents cleaned, carpet will be installed, the painter and drywall-er will come to tackle the big rooms, and the entry wall will start to be boarded up!
We have a little less than one month until move in and cannot believe it. I am finding so much joy (finally) in watching little things come together and I get more and more excited to move in and tackle the do list with Grant, bit by bit.
Thanks for reading, buddies!
