Breaking News...

This just in: We are almost done framing the right side of the house (notice I did not say south or east. Remember I am directionally challenged).

In other news, the house seems to be falling down. Remember that one beam that actually was a 1x4 laying flat on its back? Hmm, well it's on a load bearing wall and oh baby is it ever sagging. It's something like 5 feet or longer of unsupported wood. Yikes!! I'm a little worried, but I think it can last another week. It's #1 on the list for next week and the giant dining room window will go in too!! So excited!

I wish I had a picture to show, but I don't. I will just explain. We put in the master bedroom wall and framing for our very large double door. I am super stoked about that. We will have a double door into the master!!! Totally ridiculous, but why not? Also, we put in the hall closet which is huge! Well, probably more like normal size, but we currently have the tiniest closet ever known to mankind, so this one we made sure was big.

After next week, we will go into the most dreaded room in the house which is the girls bedroom. Ugh. We started in that room, and will end in that room. There are pipes everywhere and lots of mold and rotten stuff. Yucky.

After the girls room is done, we will need to address the ceiling throughout the whole house and what we are going to do with it. The ceiling is plaster and broken into shards all over the place. In the attic, insulation was blown in sometime in the 2000s, so it's fairly new and the only nice thing that was ever done, so it would be huge to somehow keep the insulation. Ideas?

I know it seems that we are crawling along at a snails pace, but considering that we are doing it all while juggling life and 5 kids and everyone still sick, I think we are doing amazingly.

Also, I'm super excited to share that we will be making our own doors. Shocked? Me too. We made a promise that if after making one, if either one of us thinks it looks awful, we would buy them instead.
