Home Study

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:57:05 -0500

Today was our home study, so far this has been the easiest thing we have had to do for the adoption. We are leaving this Friday for Birmingham, AL to attend a adoption seminar. Not much else has happened around here we did get the den painted and the vinyl soffit changed out.

Well mom came down so I can post a fex pictures of the kitchen and other projects. Above is a before and after, after the kitchen is a little messy Elizabeth is cooking Easter dinner. We also replaced a few more windows in the house (I only have four left) and redid the vinyl siding. We have a few more small project in
the house. Next on the list is nursery. I am just glad to get the inside projects done so I can started on “Green .3213 Acres” I’m about tired of reading about chickens. I hope the have the block wall up by the start of next year so I can break ground on the pond.

More than half way

We have a working dishwasher, a fully functional sink and a island with a granite counter top. Life is some what back to order. I have made great progress with the kitchen remodel unfortunately I can not show you any pictures of the progress past the sheetrock due to the fact that I am trying to build curiosity in my mom so she will be forced to come down soon. The rest of my house has been a disaster due the to the migration of everything from the kitchen, our closets (because of the new electric service that was ran), and our den.
Below is a picture of the den with all the cabinets in it.

Dust-free Remodeling

There is no such thing, So rest easy Erika. I needed to get the kitchen completed before we have our home studies done, so last Saturday I started on the remodel. I hung plastic over every opening and taped the edges of the plastic. I even sealed my self in the kitchen and was going to stay in there until all the cutting was done. The old ceramic tile on wire mesh was about three inches thick and the only way I could get it of the wall was to make a cut with a diamond blade between every stud. After I was done you could barely see in the room the dust was so thick. So I climbed out the window and came around to the back door and the dust was just as thick in the rest of the house!

Well were back, and trying to adjust to life by ourselves again. It was a nice day so I took the opportunity to put in a couple more windows. I also had an old storm door that I put on the barn for the barn cats to look through. We are headed to the Stevens’s house to ring in the new year tonight. Hope you have a blessed New Year!!!!!!
