Wowie....

You can imagine our surprise when we popped out to the house today & found out that the top two floors were completely boarded and the basement was starting to be framed... YAY! Also, the conditions were removed on our current house yesterday, so we are now awaiting a SOLD sign! Double YAY! :)



For some reason, Liam was very attracted to all the drywall dust...

The gables looking MUCH better than last week!

Front entrance (with construction door)

Laundry room

Looking down the staircase (obviously still in need of railings)

Staircase from upstairs

Boys' bathroom - it will have a double sink

Basement - floor poured & exterior walls being framed

Looking up the stairs - these two levels will have metal spindle railings

Living room

It's looking great! Now it seems much more "doable" to be finished mid-December! Congratulations on selling your house, too!!! What a great relief!

Thanks! Yes it's a huge relief and also great to finally be on the 'homeward' stretch! I feel like there's finally "a light at the end of the tunnel" :) We were in awe at how much had been done since were were there last! Maybe it was the threat that the builder was gonna have to pay our motel bill if it wasn't ready this time - we've had more 'possession dates' than one can imagine!

great blog. I kept looking back at when we built out 1st house and had no pictures and a very fuzzy mind so I decided if I blogged it to keep my mum up to date then I would also have my own record. We are hoping to be done mid Feb so we will see, as you seem very well aware the date always changes:) We are doing most of the contracting ourselves and right now I can't say I am loving it.
