And we have some drywall....

There is definite movement in the reconstruction front!!  We have ceiling drywall and life appears to be good!  there has been a lot done in the past week, and I am assuming that it will continue to be so.  Again, not a super dramatic day, but very, very encouraging!

THANK GOD its Friday!!  

The first 2 shots are of my ceiling that I never really had!  Somehow this does not bother me either..... 

NOW, this is what I came home to- a nice, clean, white, all but taped and mudded, finished ceiling!  COOOOOL!  I will be assuming, since I forgot to text the Builder when I got home, that some drywall action will continue.

 THANK HEAVEN ITS FRIDAY!!!!

This is so cool!!  I think I said that before!  :)

I really can't wait to get home tonight, but I GET TO GO TO THE GYM FIRST!!!!  WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!  CARDIO baby and then weights tomorrow!!!

I'M SO GLAD ITS FRIDAY!!!!!

Anyway, this is an amazing transformation- I can't wait to see what the final day of the week brings- I am guessing some white walls, don't know which ones, tho.  I would imagine my builder finds it exasperating that in this little room there are 3 doors, a window and a chimney to drywall around.  There is one spot where he can put up 2 full sheets and that is IT, the rest will involve cutting.  Rock on my builder friend!!

Until next time- FIND YOUR JOYS IN FRIDAY!!!  I am totally hoping that "someone" has enough energy left tonight to go somewhere- anywhere- to eat because I need a massive drink AND I have no idea where we will be eating our meals!  The table is a little out of commission!!  I will take a few pix of our crowded living conditions this weekend maybe.  Just so I can look back and appreciate it!  :)

Ka- POW! Look at this, would you?!!

You know those little angels that sing in the background when you see something amazing?  Well, at least on TV? (Is this the time to reveal I really hear that?? No?)  Well those alleged angels sang when I saw my living room last night. 

 My archway is so COOL! 

"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............" (angels singing) 

It is really difficult for you to realize how different this looks unless you had been in my claustrophobic little kitchen.  Now, mind you, this kitchen doesn't really bother me all that much.  I grew up in a house with a MASSIVE kitchen, yet this is pretty efficient and easy to use.  Only occasionally do I find my counter space is inadequate (I do bemoan the fact that I have no dishwasher, and really no place for one), but generally I am fine with it.  (Unlike the paneling and carpet in the livingroom, which I hated with every fibre of my being)  But WOWZA, the way that this made both room feel so much bigger is absolutely amazing.  Which of course is what I had wanted so SCORE for me, even if it is a different idea, the result is the same.  I effectively eliminated a bit of storage space though, so I have to rethink a few other areas of the house- but I think I have that worked out already.  Just have to have the time (insert hysterical laughter) to reorganize.

Let there be light (soon)

In other news, there is now a spot for a ceiling fan and light!!!! AND there are a badillion electrical outlets that are sprinkled all over the place!!! WOOO HOOOO!  And there is progress on the ceiling fan and light situation in our bedroom as well, so that is fabulous.  Seriously, who would think that such a thing would be so exciting?  I am going to have a garage sale for all the extension cords I no longer need!  

Front room angle- isn't this construction site amazingly tidy??  I'm so impressed.

LOOK KIDS- ELECTRICITY IN THE CEILING!!

 I am really thrilled with this progress!!

So on the agenda today is apparently some ceiling drywall!!  THAT is going to be pretty cool- and I should actually take a pic or two of the ceiling again- just for comparison.  (which I just did- with no flash- hehehe)

So until next time- be a joy giver!!!
