Sheet rock

On Thursday and Friday Curtis hammered away at the sheet rock along with our brother in law Marc and his brother Nic. Even Nicole got in there and hammered a few nails. They were able to get the family room and hallway finished and the ceilings in the other rooms. Curtis will finish the rest of it tomorrow and also start shingling the roof. Just let us know if you want to help. Heck, if someone will come watch the kids for me, I'll go help myself. Sometimes it just kills me to have to sit back and watch everything when I would like to be helping. Not all of the time of course :)

There's Nikki pounding on that nail. I had to help her finish it off.

This is what you call our "sheet rock band". ha ha

This is when they first started. This was the first piece to go on.

"Breaking Dawn"

So this is me and my sister in law Celeste before going to the midnight release of "Breaking Dawn" Friday night. We used the iron on that came with our special edition of "Eclipse" and made matching "Team Edward" shirts. Our mother in law also came with us and we met my sister in law Michelle and her brother and sister at Borders book store in Boise. The party wasn't that great. We left there around 11:30 and headed over to Walmart to buy the book somewhere cheaper. Luckily we went to the midnight release because after all of us went through there were only about 12 copies left and still a long line of people waiting to get it. We found out the next day that Walmart in Boise and Nampa both sold out.

In between kids, house work, and church I read as much as I could and finally finished early this afternoon! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great book and a great ending to the Twilight series! I would have to say this was the best of the four books. Now I can't wait until the movie for Twilight comes out!!! Woo hoo!

Moving right along!

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.
