Week 4 ~ Days 15-19

I decided a more efficient way to blog our remodel process is to post progress and pictures at the end of the week rather than daily. This has been a very busy week with lots of visible progress. Monday and Tuesday belonged to the electrician Keefe and his crew. They wired and installed lights in both the kitchen area and living room. We now have light in the kitchen...

and in our living room

On Wednesday we passed our "rough-in" inspection, which led to insulating the kitchen area. What a difference. It used to be so cold in that space but now it is nice and toasty warm!

Speaking of toasty warm, we also had our gas fireplace installed this week. It is beautiful. It actually looks like a flat screen TV. We can't use it yet because it has to be plumbed but when we can, I don't care if it's 100 degrees outside...we are firing it up!

Thursday and Friday were VERY messy days. I came home Thursday to this ~

 They finished things up on Friday. The sheet rocking is complete and ready for texture on Monday.

Thanks to the Headstart and Preschool staff at Muir, I have the use of an oven so we certainly aren't starving. A few more weeks and I can use my own!

Have a great weekend, everyone. Looks like it's going to be a rainy one. Wish our fireplace was operable...
