Update! Episode 3!

The electrical inspector came this morning and gave his stamp of approval. These pics were taken earlier in the day and I haven't gotten more recent ones. Below, I am standing in the kitchen with the old part of the house on the left and looking towards the small coat closet and the kitchen door (on the extreme left). They have since stapled plastic to all of this.



I am standing in the same spot, but turned toward the back of the new part of the house. The windows on the left are in the breakfast area. The window on the right (obscurred, use your imagination!) is the window over what will be the sink. The section of wall between the two will have some cabinets and the new refrigerator.

This is taken back towards that small coat closet in the kitchen looking the opposite direction. The old part of the house is now on the right and you're looking into what will be my father's suite. The framed room on the left is his bathroom.

And, hallelujah...we have sheetrock! The guys were upstairs today doing all of this. Once they get all the ceiling sheetrock up(probably tomorrow), they will be blowing in some fiberglass insulation on top of it. I haven't been upstairs since taking these pics and they were working for several hours after this, so I don't know exactly how much they got done up there. I'll figure it out tomorrow. The below pic is the bedroom above the kitchen. Until we have children to put in here, this will be a guest bedroom. It will definitely be done by Christmas! Maybe we'll host Christmas dinner this year for the family! We'll see. Anyway, the only other thing to report is that today marks the first day of the season that we fired up the wood furnace. We'd been using the gas furnace (the heat bill ought to be lovely with all the colder weather we've been having!) More later!
