More Progress

EVERYONE has been busy around here lately. The boys and I worked one afternoon to get down our paneling from our family room. Each piece had about 20 nails and lots of glue on it. I know it was a fad in the 70's but...really??? They sure weren't thinking of us 20+ years later wanting to take it off.


Even Davis had a job...pulling out nails from the trim and paneling.


As for our bedroom/bath and mudroom addition, our inspection passed with flying colors. Apparently Marshall county isn't very particular when it comes to building inspections. My brother-in-law (acting as our general contractor) teased Scott that he lost sleep over nothing. Oh well, we know that everything was done right. Important when it comes to electric and plumbing:) Monday a company was out to blow in the insulation.
It makes a big difference to see actual walls.


My hallway/mudroom. I can't wait to have our coats and shoes in a designated place! Just in time for winter coats and boots!


Above is our family room that we tore down the paneling from. Guys were out on Friday to drywall it. We are also carpeting this room which will cozy it up a bit. Meanwhile...
All of our furniture is in our office and front living room.
The end is so close! I am so thankful for a husband who has worked very hard to get it done well and as quick as possible.

Great job, Yoders! Can't wait to see the "after" pictures when Miss Kelly works her magic. :)

We've lived in that kind of chaos too with furniture at various strange places in the house...you can do it! You're almost finished! You guys are making some great memories. :)
