Dining Room Floor

After about four hours Friday night and about four hours Saturday, I've got a beautiful dining room floor. It needs to be grouted still, but I think it's pretty fancy.

House Update

With everything that's been going on, I haven't been updating very consistently. But here is a run down of progress. Doors, trim, and interior paint have all been finished. The stairs and bridge rails have been built and installed. I have spent the last several days laying tile. I finished the kitchen, laundry room, master bath, and the boy's bathroom. Still to do are the dining room, the half-bath, and the closet in the kitchen. John did the grout in the kitchen the other day, and the laundry room last night. Most of the cabinets have been delivered, and are supposed to be installed over the next couple of days.

Thank You

I wanted to let everyone know how thankful I am for all of the prayers, flowers and other acts of generosity and love that been given over the past few days. God has truly blessed us through people. If you attended Mom's funeral, called, sent flowers, gave money, or prayed for us, we truly appreciate it. We couldn't have made it through this difficult time without your love and prayers. Thank You!

More Sheetrock

All of the sheetrock is hung. They are finishing the mudding. They should be finished on Monday. Then we can get on with the trim and millwork.
The big deck has its rails installed and it looks great. Not too much longer.

Front Porch

Well, it looks like the front porch is finally finished, with the exception of paint and a few minor touches, but it looks great!
The drywall is mostly hung. The last load should be delivered this afternoon and hung tomorrow. The tape and mud crew is hard at work, and they said they should be finished by the end of the week. Then we can move on to trim and paint. We're closing in on the end...

VBS

The kids attended VBS this week. And as always, we went to the Friday night dog and pony. The theme was "Outrigger Island" so they dressed in tropical attire. The kids sang some really cute songs. Caleb played a mean wiki-wiki. Then we went to Sonic and got some burgers with Paw-Paw and Grammy. Fun night!
