Our lovely stack of new insulation before it was installed in the kitchen ceiling and outside walls. I hate insulation.
The sea of sheetrock. It took all day to get this stuff (84 sheets) from the store to inside the house. It's HEAVY!
The latest in insulation installation attire. Did I mention that I HATE insulation?!?!?!
The newly insulated kitchen ceiling. We have 8 can lights and will have a light fixture over the sink and dining room table. There will no excuse for not seeing in our kitchen!
The newly covered kitchen walls.
Some of the 14 cabinets that I have the "pleasure" of staining.
We love the cherry color we picked out for our cabinets.
Before when you looked from the kitchen into the living room you saw the other end of the house. Now you just see the living room.
Two sheetrock-hanging professionals at work.
Tim got a little goofy with the sheetrock dust.
Oh, yeah. He's lost it.
The sheetrock is all hung except for the new master bath and closet because we haven't built those walls yet. We are focusing more on what has to be done before we have to move in. We only have 10 days left. I still have 4 cabinets to stain with the second coat and then I'll be ready to stain the doors. That will probably have to wait until after we move in. We still have to pack up the rest of the house. Yuck! I'm getting really good at finding excuses not to pack. My mom's parents came up Saturday night and stayed with us until Sunday afternoon. It was great seeing them. He helped my mom with capping off water lines in the kitchen that we won't be using. Apparently she hates copper lines like I hate insulation. Tim is anxious to start laying the floors, but the walls have to be mudded first. That is what they were going to start on today. Stay tuned for the next exciting installment in THE ADVENTURES OF OUR LIFE!
