Finally.....We Have Dry Wall!!

Here are some more pictures of the house. We've been at a stand-still for the past two weeks while we have been waiting for dry wall. It has also been really cold here. Tonight it is going to be 35 degrees BELOW freezing! The pipes in our rental have frozen twice, we thawed them out the first time but we are still waiting to see if they thaw out tonight! I've been keeping a close on on all our deer that stay in the backyard. We have five that are trying to stay warm under the trees out back. We put straw out under the trees to help keep them warm. Poor Deer!! Nothing else is new around here! We can't wait to see everyone next week!!

We are still waiting to have the walls mudded and taped but at-least we are seeing progress. This is a picture from the living room looking into the kitchen.

You can see our cupboard door in this picture. We ordered our cabinets this past week and got all of our bathroom vanities. We even got the tile for the kitchen and our wood floor was delivered today!

Russ is putting down "hardy board" so we can put the tile in the bathrooms. He is doing such a great job! I'm so lucky to have such a handy husband! It takes me forever to do the same stuff that he does in no time at all!

These are the colors for our kitchen.

Sukha's New Dog Bed

Sukha got a new dog bed for Christmas and we had it embroidered with her name. We were so excited when it came last night until we took it out of the box and saw that her name was spelled "SUCKHA!!" Maybe you had to be there but we couldn't stop laughing at our sweet little doggy's new name!

Remodel Update

Russ with his new table saw. He got up at 4:30am the day after Thanksgiving to go to Sears to get it. He also went to Home Depot! It looked like Christmas at our house with all of his new tools scattered around!

Our new patio door and window!


Russ built these closets in the master bedroom. He is going to build a built-in desk in between them.



We finally have the backerboard up around the tub and shower! Next step is trying to find tile!

This is part of the kitchen (the pony wall is where the range and more cabinets will go.) The room where the new window is will be the dining area.

It doesn't seem like much has changed with the house in the last week or so. We are waiting for drywall to go up and then hopefully we will have time to texture, paint and put the tile in before we come home for Christmas. We finally have our new patio door and window in the house....I think it will look really nice when it's all finished. We took Thanksgiving off from working on the house, it was the first day Russ has taken off from working on the remodel since we started! I've had 3 days off....and I always cherish those days!! We'll post more after the drywall goes up. We hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and we are so excited to see you all during Christmas!
