The house looks like we made a LOT of progress this weekend thanks again to a LOT of help! Lee, Katie, Henry and Grace came out Friday night - Lee framed the tub - Katie brought amazing chili to eat...so much better than Subway - and Henry and Adde did a great job getting started on painting the living room. I think they were going for the antiqued look.

Saturday we had a packed house with Papa, Kris, Mike, and Jaime out at the house to help and Erin, Joe and Mimi at home to play! We got the upstairs mostly painted...turned out to be a lot of greens I think. Didn't get a picture of the Lime green sitting room - but will try to add it soon. Thank you Thank you - so much change!
















Jackson's Room...top color is named Sweet baby boy - they had me sold on that one in a minute

The In-Law bedroom













And best of all...........thanks Tom and Beau for the TOILET - and yes it flushes!!!!!!!! Good-bye portapotty!

Drywall part 2

Here are a couple good pics of Jackson and Adde out at the house Sunday. jackson was tuckered out from NOT sleeping - but getting a tooth! and then there's Adde...White as a ghost from helping mom move out pieces of drywall! She was so strong!

They finished on Saturday about 2:30ish! So fast! It all looks so good and only missing 3-4 wires/can lights ;) Shots of the bedroom and the bonus room.

Drywall

In the end - decided to hire out the drywall and mudding/taping. Good decision. What would have taken us forever took them about 16 hours. Maybe. All I can say is wow - watching them throw those HUGE pieces of drywall up and screw them in - all while standing on stilts! This is what all the rooms looked like on Friday when they left at 7. (2 guys started at about 8 and 2 others showed up about 5:30 that night). They got all the ceilings done...and 1/2 the walls!

Living room
