construction

For all of our faithful blog checkers I must apologize for the long delay in posts. We've had a very busy 2 weeks. My parents came to visit 2 weeks ago and as I mentioned earlier we put them to work with may tasks including painting more at the Arlington house. Finally the living room and dining room blend in with the rest of the house. There has also been great progress on the attic projcet as you can see in the pictures below. We are really thinking we can move in July. I can't get too excited since I've been saying this pretty much on a monthly basis since January. Nathan and his Dad have been doing back breaking work installing the new wood floor in the family room. It's not totally done, but it's a start. This weekend we get a little break from house work since we're headed to Chicago for a little trip. I'm sure we'll have more fun and exciting pictures not only our adventures in the Windy City, but also of the house in 6 more days! But for now.....

Day 2: ripped up old flooring and outside shingles off!

Day 3: some new sub floor

Day 7: the dormer framed out! This is where the bathroom and the master bedroom well be. These contractors seem to be moving along quite well!
