Progress!

FRIDAY

We had our "contractor" friend and his family over to work on the remodel. The guys spent most of the time at Lowe's buying everything they needed, then came back and got a few things done.

They took out the little odd window in the new living room

boarded it up and put silicone around the edges so no little critters can take up residence in my house :-) 

Nate got the boards ready and in place for my new pantry :-D

and they took the attic access down

This is their oldest little boy, Ethan. Lexi took these pictures while they were playing, lol

cracks me up!

SATURDAY

The next morning Nate came over around breakfast time and they started the work!


they closed up the window with boards and sheet rock


then did the same with the attic access

getting ready to build the wall!!

wall built

and up!

nailing everything in

next, they built the pantry wall


my new pantry door :-)

They also cut out the new attic access 

The finished product as of that afternoon 
(I actually took this picture before they cut out the attic access)

Tonight, Jimmy is going to run new wire for a fan, and a few outlets we want moved around. 

Lord willing by the time this Saturday is over, we will be ready to paint and get the new carpet!!

I am super super excited and am happy to see this remodel come to an end!

Haha, we are extremely thankful we know someone who knows how to do the work! Thankfully Jimmy is the kind of guy who is willing to step in and help wherever he can, so Nate at least had some help :-)
