Remodeling Update

AAAAHhhhhh... That is the sigh of nearing completion! It means this project is almost over with! The past few years Craig has taken off the whole week of Thanksgiving and we have hung out around the house just relaxing or doing projects. So, he was off this whole last week and he worked like a dog all week. He told me he was going back to work early in the week because he said it was easier than what he was doing here! I just have to say again that I just love him and am so impressed by his natural talent to do the things that he does around here. My backsplash is done and grouted and sealed. The matching travertine outlet covers have been put in and they look great. All that is left to do is just caulk the counter line and under the cabinets and put on one more coat of sealer and it is done. He has painted the pantry door and the new closet door and re-hung those. He drywalled up the door that was in the living room closing in the fourth wall of the closet. He has painted the ceiling in the closet and put primer on. Today we bought paint and shelving for in there and that will probably be in by the end of the week. We had a sweet friend from church come over to help with the living room side of the dry wall project. He is awesome! Thanks David! So, we are at maybe one more coat of mud in the living room or possibly having the sanding done on it tomorrow. Then Craig has to redo the molding and paint! This has been such a long and tedious process and I am so excited to have it so close to being done. I can't put up my Christmas decorations until it is finished and that is slightly frustrating, but they will get put up even if it is the last minute. I'm being patient!
