New friends helping out!


We've had lots of helpers the last few weeks as we continue to work on the house. Here's Trey Coe, helping with Nick and Will. They put down a new subfloor in the 2 upstairs bathrooms so now we don't have a balancing act up there!

Here's me at work on my wall! This wall was seriously a pain - it took forever!! But it's all clear now.

Will and Nick making funny faces as they put the subfloor down.

And Nick and Trey....what can I say?

Anna came to help! She helped us put up the wall between the 2 bathrooms upstairs.

haha - this was a pure action shot....eyes closed and everything.

Our new wall.

New helper again!! Katherine came by to get a tour....and stayed for several hours!! Unfortunately when we scraped the wallpaper off we just let it land on the concrete floor and left it. When we finally got around to cleaning it up, the adhesive from the wallpaper had stuck to the floor, so we had to go back through and scrape up the floor too....not so fun.

My mom came over and helped clean up a bit - things were looking a little rough, so she and my dad brought the shop vac over.

My dad sweeping away!

That's it for today. We've had a few out of town weekends which means we haven't gotten as much done on the house as we'd like. But they've been great fun! I'll try to keep updating more regularly but something tells me the posts (along with the house work) will be slim pickings until AFTER October :) Then it's 100% house!
