Long Overdue Home Update!

  Our contractor showed up!!!

Our favorite two guys came and worked so hard on the house.  Then they wrapped it tightly in a tarp and took a break during this rainy/windy week!  

We are so excited that next week looks like great weather.  We are thankful to get so much done so quickly!  

Once the new dormer is built and the new addition dried in, we will work on the layout of the rooms.  We already have plans but can change them to take advantage of all of the room!

We also have this huge dumpster right out the back door!  This is the second one!  It's a great time to keep cleaning out the basement and other rooms in the house!

Will said he loved the new roof color we chose!  Actually, the tarp has done a great job keeping everything pretty dry!

It's so exciting to see the size of the addition - looks bigger than I expected!

The back porch has been dismantled.  We are getting all new beams to hold up everything upstairs!  So now I can get the pretty porch ceiling I was hoping to get when we redid the porch!  It will be put back together - just prettier and stronger!

I told little Blakely that Grammie is getting her a nice big bath tub to play in when she visits!  She's already one month old and growing and already has the sweetest little disposition!

While planning for the front porch - Pete, Sam, and I have some plans - I found this set at HomeGoods!  It's the perfect table for the front porch for a place to read my Bible study or eat dinner!  It's a woven plastic, so it wipes off so easily!  I love the Serena & Lily look, so this set is perfect!

We ordered three faucets and two tubs last night to get ready for the new bathrooms.  I have too many Pinterest pages, and I need to get my thoughts and ideas BACK together.  I have notes that I made, but I don't want to forget anything that I had planned - early on!

That's all for now!  Hopefully, I will update a lot soon!
