8/25/08 update

So I have not taken any pictures lately as I have not charged the batteries to the camera. I will attempt to get some soon.

Since the last posting we have gotten the doors back up (once painted), We created a second closet for the master bedroom by steeling the adjoining rooms closet and then built a new closet for that room. It is framed, drywalled and has 1 coat of drywall mud on. We still need to finish sanding it before we can paint.

Ben and dad also re-patched the bad patch in the master and patched the holes in the ceiling and wall where we removed half a wall in the living room. This will need at least one more coat of mud before it can be sanded to paint.

I have nearly finished painting the half bath. I had not planned on doing anything with this room yet but Ben and Cori decided to remove the wallpaper border one day and then I had to paint.

Ben has also started re-building the cubard where the newer (still over 20 years old but 20-30 years newer than the one I have and it is a self cleaning one, unlike the one that came with the house) and bigger wall oven is going as well as making a spot for the microwave so we can keep it off the couter.

Nick came over and helped us on Saturday and he switched the garage and front door for us so that the garage now has a fire proof door separating it from the house.

With any luck we can get the bedrooms painted this weekend and then start finishing the painting in the living room and hallway next.

I still have to get my cubards painted as soon as Ben finishes rebuilding that one unit.

Ben also bought our new furnace this weekend and that will be installed after we move in and before it gets to cold.

Well, I think that is about it for an update. I will try and get some pics up soon and keep you posted.
