Yes, Giddy.
After much stress and many much hours pulling wire, framing walls etc.
We did it.
Ok, not did it done, but did it getting there.
We got all our plumbing, heating and electrical (a billion thanks to the Yoda of electricity Alan for helping me through the dizzying process, even though he was packing up all his stuff before a cross-counrty move to IOWA for med school) DONE!
Drywall was started one morning and by that afternoon was 75% hung. After only a couple hours the next morning they were done and ready to tape and mud. The whole house is moving along pretty well. The exterior is almost done and all the siding has been painted. (thank you Crystal for working extra hard, even when I'm not there cracking the whip).
The only painting left is a bit of touch up and painting the trim around the windows and doors white. The stucco will go where all that black paper is and then POOF!
The home that sat for two years is transformed. We'll be ready for finish work and wood floors to go in by the middle of next week and hopefully completed a week and a half after that.
Not Giddy-worthy you say? well I hope you noticed that pine tree in front of the garage. It's one of two cut down this week by yours truly.
It's not that I don't like trees, I just love a good photo opp.
with the rest of life going so well and our house moving AHEAD of schedule, (yes I said AHEAD)
I think i'm entitled to a bit of Giddy-ness.
