Bedroom is painted. I had no idea how many details go into finishing a room...touch up, spackeling holes in baseboards and trim, caulking all trim pieces. Next time you walk through a door way look at all the different layers of wood. Each seam has to be caulked. We spent about 3 hours at the house today and that's all I did, and I'm not even finished! The carpet in the bedroom is in. It's finally a real live room!
This is the vanity for our bathroom. We ordered it online and it shipped from Dallas with the marble top and two sinks. I prayed that it would arrive undamaged and miraculously it did! Derek got his buddies to help him move it back into that bathroom today.
The tile is completely done in the bathroom (not evidenced by this picture). The shower door is also installed. Today Derek worked on some electrical stuff. Nothing seems to go like it is supposed to and things end up taking so much longer. Today he put up the light in the bathroom, just a simple ceiling light. The box was made with hardware for a fan in case we ever wanted to put one in. This meant that the screws for the light didn't screw in all the way. After trying and failing to install it we finally figured out why. That had to be fixed by screwing new holes through the fan box. Derek also hooked up the wired for the bathroom into the breaker box. For some reason the fuse keeps tripping and we can't turn it on at all. No idea why. All things that are supposed to go smoothly but don't.We may have another work weekend. Rumor has it that my parents may be coming up to help/visit. There is still plenty to do so that will be very helpful! We've started working on Sundays too (after church of course). It's something that Derek and I decided not to do from the very beginning but it has come to a point of being pretty close to ready and now back to working just on Saturdays. Hopefully it will give us an extra boost.
looking good!!
