Remodel Blog Back Up

We have finally settled our dispute with the builder.  He is now out of our lives, and we are now working with the first builder that we originally wanted to work with at the beginning of our project, but couldn't because of issues with bank approvals. 

Now our 1st choice builder is on the job, we have started up more work....exterior painting this week and some other things on the outside of the house that needed to be fixed or completed.  The remodel blog is back up and running, if you would like to see the work progress.  David also did more interior painting during the builder interim.  We will continue to post pictures on the remodel blog of his work and the other work happening. 

Hopefully this crazy house project will be mostly completed before the wee one comes in a couple months!

*Side note, due to legal obligations we can not comment on our settlement with the builder, but I do have to say that it is such a shame we had to part ways with him.  He was so unbelievably organized, very even tempered, super detail oriented, had such fabulous accounting skills and really kept a very clean and productive worksite.  Oh well.  We will somehow find a way to move on.

Father's Day Weekend

Father's Day weekend consisted of a lot of 'manly' activities for us...

...like jackhammering...

...and sanding/staining stair treads.

Thanks again to David's hardworking parents for coming again this weekend, to help work on the money-pit, that we now call home. 
(I didn't take a picture of David's mom doing her 'manly' work, because she would kill me, but man did she whip that disgusting basement into shape!)
The place is feeling a more livable, little by little, after a lot of hard work each day. (On our own, and by our, I mean mostly David.)

Moving Day



We moved most of our things back into the house this weekend.  We had help from friends and family all weekend long, which was great!  This week we will still sleep (on mattresses on the floor) in the apartment, until things are a little more ready in the house (like hot water working, carpentry dust cleaned up, and all electrical work done).  For more pictures of the move and clean-up/organize process, click on anywhere in this post to go to the remodel blog.
