It's been a long 3 weeks but the house is starting to come along. It no longer smells, the mold is gone, and I think that all the animals who were living in the attic found another home! It is starting to feel like a home and we are really excited to start picking out flooring and cabinets and all the other stuff that will make it our own. Hopefully the drywall will be up by next week and the plumbing will be done. It's been fun kicking through drywall and tearing down walls. Russ and I think we are pros(?) at using framing guns and reticulating saws now!
We have had so much help along the way. Doug helped us put the beam up in the bedroom and tear out the master bathroom. He also gave us house plans and gave us the idea of building a dining room. My dad changed out the service, rewired the entire house, built walls, put up the beam in the living room and made Russ crawl through the attic!! Russ and I were amazed at the amount of work my dad can get done in just a couple of hours! Also, thanks mom for helping to tear down drywall and clean up the mess we made! And Julian....you're the best at removing nails from the walls and keeping us entertained all day long!
We love and appreciate you guys so much!! We couldn't have made it this far without you!

So fun to see your house and the transformation it is beginning. Izabel saw the picture and said Julie and Russ's house is far away. I love how the mountains are your back yard. The pictures of the glacier mountain place are amazing! What a beautiful area you live in. The pictures of the baby blessing are nice.
