Hiatus

It's been a while! Since the last time I posted, Dan and I closed on the house I previously blogged about, and have been living in renovation and remodeling heaven...sometimes it has been hell, not gonna lie. We have sanded until our fingerprints and fingernails are no more, caulked until our hands hurt from pulling the trigger, sledge hammered and torn out until our shoulders can't take anymore, etc. However, we are ALMOST there!

Y'all, my husband...ohhhhhhhhh my husband is so many things! He is Superman, Bob the Builder, Handy Manny, and well...he's just my hero. He has pulled all the weight in this remodel and has built something both of us really never dreamed we would have. He has been a plumber, a carpenter, a painter, a sheet rock hanger, a wall texturer, a tile layer...you name it, he's done it. He is amazing, and everytime I am grateful for this house, I am over-the-top grateful for him and his hard work.

We are also so grateful to all of our friends who helped us out with this project. It has been seven weeks of intense labor and we couldn't have done it without you...you know who you are. We also want to thank our family and friends for their patience with us. We haven't seen or even talked to most of our loved ones in seven weeks, as we have been at the house every free second before and after work for that time. We can't wait to reconnect, and hopefully have you all come visit soon!

The plan was to move in this weekend, but have been set back because of the ice storm. We will move in next weekend, and I will post more pics then! The pics below are organized by room in the house and show progression from beginning until the first coat of wood paint went on last week. I don't have pics of the final woodwork yet because I haven't been able to get over there in the ice. Keep your cursor at the bottom of the photo to read the caption.

Sorry it has taken me so long to post these! I really haven't had a spare second until now. Enjoy!
