Week Six- Getting Close!

Monday brought the roofers. They were done really quickly and it looks so nice!
On Tuesday, the insulation began to go in. It was really interesting to see them poking the huge sections of it up between the boards.


On Wednesday, they started the sheetrocking and taping. Now the rooms seem a lot bigger and the kids are getting really excited! Here is our new family room!
Our 3 beautiful windows with a great view... of the dirt pile.
Spencer is in our large storage closet.

Saturday, we hired someone to help us paint the outside of the addition. The three of us painted for 10 hours straight ( Larry's dad also painted for a few hours and his mom babysat for a while). I'm amazingly not sore, but I have some lovely bruises from leaning against the ladder rungs painting the top parts up by the roof. That was really scary for Larry and I. We have to finish up the blue trim tomorrow, then we will be done with the outside and our daring climbs up the ladder.


Scary stuff- painting up that high...

These soffits were the bane of our existence! They took FOREVER!

We are also making the final carpet selection this weekend and narrowing down paint colors. We hope to paint the interior this coming weekend!

Wow, it is really coming along. It is so fun to watch it develop. Dallin is very interested each time you put new pics up. Can you believe that in a few days all that room will be yours? It really looks great.
