Progress

There was a lot of work done between our start date in June, July, August and September. Not all of it very glamorous or worthy of photographs. Here is a quick list though

• Lots of cleaning
• Moving plumbing in the kitchen so that the sink is now under the window
  
• Replacing a large portion of the plumbing under the house that the contractor didn't do so well
• Also fixing some of the electrical wiring that the contractor didn't do so well
  
• Installing insulation in the walls between the bedrooms and the living room and bath
  
• We hired some great local handymen to fix the old gross ceiling
  
• The guys were so great we also hired them to install plywood on all of the interior walls and then the house was officially "closed up"
• Lots of overhead ceiling priming and painting (followed by lots of back and shoulder pain!)
  
• Yours truly installed all of the lighting fixtures in the kitchen area and the ceiling fans throughout the house (well, Michael helped with the ones in the living area because those suckers are big and heavy)
• And there is probably more, but those are the highlights - pretty impressive looking list if I do say so myself!
