I don't remember what day this is.....




.






Ok I have to admit I am getting a little annoyed with my remodel altho all in all it is going pretty well. Its just a matter of getting it done now. I am hoping that when we go to Vegas we will come home and it will look completely different!!! Realistically it should look ready for the cabinets to go in and then all we have left are countertops and floors (if we have any money left for floors). We may have cement for awhile!! Thats popular now a days right?!!
Ok time is still flying by. It just never stops. Dylan has 2 more teeth as of yesterday. They broke thru on the same day so I guess that was good. He is so independent...wants to feed himself and now he only wants to eat big people food. The baby food just isn't cutting it anymore. I know he is almost one but I don't want him to grow up. Is it crazy that I already think he is too big and want him to stay young!!! I don't know if its cuz we don't know if we will have another one for sure but it makes me sad to see him grow up. Maybe Christy will have another one and then maybe we will.....who knows! Ok I must be really tired......off to bed. Swim class tomorrow and then more planning for Vegas and then Dylan and Anni's birthday party when we get back!!! What a busy month...before I will know it I will be back on graveyard....but by then my house will be done so it will be great!!!!

Day 2 and 3 and 4 and 5






As you can see we have 2 huge holes in our floor and a pile of dirt inside the family room. We also got our new windows in......i guess we have to take the good with the bad!!!
Day 4 we had no power so no pictures but we did have a nice quiet night with candles and no tv. Thank goodness grandma lives across the street. Day 5 all the big electrical stuff was done and the power was back on. Tomorrow our old wall is supposed to come down and the new support beam go up so hopefully that goes smoothly!!

Day one......July 6th





Everything gone....this is the day we realized that Carl had left the electrical where it was on the house before the addition. Our first set back......

The before pictures......













Ok here are the before pictures. My hope is that updating this blog will be cathartic for me (or it could backfire and make me realize how long this will take). We started on Monday July 6th but have been without power for a few days so I was only able to start now so here goes....
