So a lot has happened with our addition in the last week. I was a little busy and preoccupied to blog anything until today, now that I've finished my book. Last week Curtis did the rough in of the plumbing work and had it inspected & passed. Then my dad came on Wed to start prepping for electrical. Curtis did more prep work the next two days. On Saturday we had Curtis, my dad, Curtis's brother Casey & son Kimball, and my brother Stillman all over for breakfast before they got to work pulling wires. (Michelle and kids came over too so we could read together) The electrical inspection passed this Tues as well as the HVAC (heating/AC). The framing did get a red tag but they fixed everything they needed to yesterday and the inspector should be here soon if not already. We also had the insulation put in yesterday. Yay! And already we had the sheet rock delivered first thing this morning. So Curtis put a new piece of sheet rock in the kid's bedroom and he's getting things ready for putting the sheet rock in. We'll be having family help us with this part of the project too. Our brother in law used to do sheet rocking. Thanks for all your help everyone!!!
Anyway, here are a few pictures to see the progress.
The extra bedroom.
The bathroom. Had to show off Curtis's plumbing work :)
Family room looking at extra bedroom & hallway.
My dad and Curtis putting in cam lights in our kitchen. We'll no longer have a chandelier, which worked out since it broke anyway. And this way it is easier to put our table wherever we want.
My brother and dad working on electrical stuff.
Nephew & brother in law working on more electrical stuff.
Garrett and our nephew Andrew found some extra pieces of pipe and dueled it out. How are you to get the sympathies of the audience without a big contender against a smaller contender? (can you tell which movie I got that line from? hehe) Go Garrett!
Curtis put our new sliding door in by the new big patio. He also put the window in the extra bedroom in but the family room windows had to be special ordered so we don't have them yet.
