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!
