We Have Walls!

I'm still amazed by the difference drywall can make on our house. The rooms look larger and the natural light from the windows make the house brighter. The dirt and dust from the old studs and walls has been contained, and though there is drywall dust everywhere, the house is cleaner than we have ever seen it.

Our contractors began to put up the drywall on the 20th. There were a few areas that we asked them not to put anything up because we still had things that needed to be completed in those areas first. Our kitchen has not been completed, nor has the upstairs bathroom, due to the fact that Dad still had some plumbing to run. Almost everything else has real walls!

Spare Bedroom 1 AKA: The Blue Room...

...is no longer blue!

Spare Bedroom 2 with the bad floor...

...still has a bad floor, but now has a new window and a ceiling.

This is one of the big projects on the To Do list. There is a large 

section of floor that needs to be replaced (on the bottom left 

corner of the picture) before the drywall can be finished.

This was the dining room before the bathroom addition.

And after the window removal and bathroom addition.

The dining room in all of it's awesomeness.

The library before.

The library now!

Ok, hands down, our living room is the one room in the

house that has gone through the most change.

I definitely like this version better. And, if I haven't said

it before, I really REALLY love my picture window!

Last of all, our master bedroom.

Still having nightmares about this disaster.

But it looks much better now :)

And it has a new walk in closet.

I am incredibly thankful for our contractors and all of the work that they have put into this house. Though we could have put up the drywall ourselves, it would have taken us a very long time, and there would be no way we could get in the house before the end of October. They have helped us take a challenging task and turn it into a home.
