Walls are up!!!

There is still some work to do still but the sheetrock has been hung. And ADT is being a big pain in the behind so Monday I need to get on them. Something tells me that the guy who sold us the system has moved on... I signed a contract but we have not turned it on yet, since we still do not have power. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come! This is a picture of the upstairs bathroom. This space is a new closet I had put in there rather than keeping it dead space. I gave up my hall linen closet for more kitchen space. Another view of the bathroom. This is Nate's room...
The triplets room which was the old master bedroom...
The hallway. The wall was cut open to allow us to see downstairs into the new hallway.
This is part of the kitchen. This is the old breakfast room portion
This is the main part of the kitchen.
The dining room
And finally the living room.
I didn't take any pictures from downstairs since the guys were working down there. Hopefully soon. I can't wait to see the new master bedroom with walls!!!

Progress!!!

Stopped by the house today to take some pictures. We had a HUGE delay but we're making progress again. We've passed all the inspections thus far. Now insulation is going in and the roof is just about done. They were putting the spanish tile back on the roof when I came by today.

Here are some pictures... It's starting to look like a house!!!

Dining Room...

Living Room...
Bathroom. We changed the layout due to current code. (Sorry I can't figure out how to change the picture layout)
This is the Kitchen. I am taking the picture from the entry from the hallway.
Our new staircase coming downstairs from the kitchen. There is now a hallway that takes you to the new master bedroom and bathroom. The original staircase did not meet code since the last step did not have enough of a rise. We will be putting hardwood on these stairs before we're done.

We were hoping to be home by our 8th anniversary but ran into a permit issue. That delayed us "3 weeks". We were supposed to be home by the "end of March". It's March 29th. We're not going home in the next couple of days. :) I am meeting with the contractor on Thursday and I hope to get a better idea of where we stand... My best guess is sometime in May. :( Even though we are home sick and want to go back to our comfortable home, we know it will be even more beautiful than it was and we're excited about that!!
