Ceilings are going in!

I already wrote this post out a couple days ago and auto save didn't work, so I gave up in frustration. Ha!

So this post is going to be a bit longer as it will cover a couple days, so strap in.

Pat has torn out the ceilings in the master bedroom, hallway and Joshua's room. 

He was able to frame in the master bedroom last weekend while I was at work.

I've been working every weekend since we bought the house so construction days have been short. It's been frustrating for all of us to not get as much done as we want.

Our new dishwasher and oven were delivered on Monday! I had to run over there after the boys got done with distance learning to meet the delivery guys between 11 and 3. While I waited I cleaned up the front yard a bit. We have a massively overgrown privacy hedge with a huge palm that keep dropping fronds on the lawn on one side 

and a bunch of roses and English ivy taking over said roses on the other side.

And my favorite part, a little garden in front of the front door! 

I'm planning a little succulent/herb garden for this space and maybe a raised bed below the window.

Pat is now working on getting the dishwasher and oven hooked up. It's always one step forward and two steps back.

Apparently the previous owner messed up the electrical. To run the dishwasher, you would have had to run the garbage disposal because it was on the switch. (Pat would describe this nonsense better than me) 

So tonight he had to put new gfci outlets in and a whole mess of other things to get the dishwasher running. 

Check out that hideous tile. It's something we will have to live with for awhile. 

While he is working on all that he is also putting a new faucet in the sink. When he took the old one out, we realized the sink was never properly put in and he lifted the back half of the sink out of the counter no problem. Yikes.

While Pat did that, I mudded the drywall! Super proud of my handiwork. 

Thats where the old garage door was and where we are going to put the fridge.

Behind the oven was a total mess. We are patching and cleaning up the gas and electrical here.

Kinda boring stuff, but all things that need to be done correctly before we can move forward.

I am off work for a couple of days so hopefully we will get some more work done!
