The kids have quite a routine. They have certain toys that they bring and games that they play while Matt and I get work done.
We are on the home stretch although there is still a ton to do. We are working on putting all the hardware on cabinets and getting door ordered. It's so nice to spend money on things that we will actually see.
I ordered several different wallpapers and finally seeing them on the wall is pretty awesome. Although its a little harder than I anticipated to line all the edges up
Each bathroom gets the same hardware in the coordinating color that matches the rest of the bathroom fixtures. Our cabinet guy was nice and let me borrow his tool to line all the holes up and saved me a TON of time.
After the incident with the biscuit joiner we decided it might just be better to screw them together. We bought about 20 new clamps to make this possible but it has also made the project come together faster.
The cabinets are going in despite the painting not being done. The gray cabinets in the basement are definitely more blue than we anticipated but it matches the tile in the mudroom perfectly. I can't wait until we can pull up all the paper on the floors and clean this place. The painting continues and even though we aren't doing it ourselves it feels like the eternal project. They keep reminding us that this house is big but it just seems to be going on forever.

Doors and doorknobs are goin in and on as they finish painting them and the trim
Cutest helpers around....getting things done while the older 2 are at school
Painting the exterior is also happening. I love the days when I show up and things I dind't know were going to happen already are done.
We made a last minute decision to put the back patio in so we had somewhere in the back to separate the back door from all the mud. I think we'll be glad we made this decision...especially when spring comes.
We will finally be able to pass inspection now that we have an official front step

Matt originally considered hiring someone to do the railing but decided to tackle the project himself. I think at this point he was wishing he had hired someone. It was a lot more work and involved than either of us expected. Next time....hire someone
Lighting started going in. Its so nice to get electricity inside. The braker keeps tripping and we have to run up the hill to reset it. Now it gets dark early and its cold so I'm thrilled to have it inside
The heater into he garage is going up which is huge because they need it in place to put the stuff on the floor.

Getting the beams to the ceiling was a pretty involved process and required some help from our good friend Perry
It's all looking so good but we are SO tired! Pushing on to be done. Our goal is still to be in by Liam's birthday
