As far as progress on the inside of the house goes, not a whole lot has happened this past week or so. Charlie and I are all finished moving in and so our time has been spent getting settled in by doing laundry and whatnot. On Mother's Day, Charlie's parents came down to visit with our niece Isabella. Holly and I spent the afternoon scrubbing floors (Happy Mother's Day??). It really made a big difference, now we don't feel quite like we live in a construction zone all the time.
As for the outside of the house, the drain tile is in and done, and the garage wall is almost complete. Next week the contractors will start on the garage floor and the attic. The garage floor is heaved up and needs to be replaced. We are putting heat under the floor so that should prevent heaving in the future. We are having beams run in the attic for extra support so we can finally knock out the stud walls that are between the kitchen and living room areas. One of the walls is load-bearing so we need the reinforcement before we open it all up. I feel like getting those walls knocked out is the last big thing on the inside! Our cabinets should be done in the next week or so and then we can get our kitchen in! The wood floors in the living room and the bedrooms will be getting refinished in June (which is only a couple weeks away). After all that I think the house will really feel like a home but we will still have a long way to go . . . roof, windows, siding . . . ick. :-)
