It's Coming Along....

Well the house is coming along slowly but surely. Grandpa, Chris, and whoever they have hired for the weekend, have been working on leveling the house for weeks now. Since the house is so old it is on peer and beam. So they have to get underneath the house to level it. It ended up taking much longer than they expected. But we are happy to say that it is done now. As you can tell from below lots of demolition has taken place as well. Scrapping popcorn, scrapping wallpaper, tearing up carpet, tearing out cabinets, and I'm sure more stuff that I'm not aware of. It is exciting. New windows have been ordered so that will be one of the next projects.


Check out those walls.... 
Since the walls are concrete they are cracking really bad. Where the cracks are you have to knock the concrete off in order to patch them. I think? I don't really understand. That man in the yellow (my father-in-law) has all the answers.


This is the back bathroom..... they have pulled out the sink and toilet.


This is the enormous bookshelf that we can't decide what to do with. Well actually I think we have decided, we are going to dismount it and move it to the playroom. It will be a great place to store books, toys, and baskets.


This is the kitchen, it looks like there is a dead body in my kitchen.
 O wait that is just Grandpa!


This is one of my favorite things in the entire house. Isn't that arch way beautiful. We are going to stain it to match the floors.


This is Carter in one of the holes that goes under the house. 


Chris and Carter digging a hole for the new sewage line! 


Grandpa giving directions.... (He is the BOSS)


Carter would fill up a bucket with dirt and then ask Daddy to come empty it for him outside. They are quite the team!


He was quite irritated with me for trying to take pictures,  He said "Mommy stop..I workin.."
