from house to home

big changes in the house the last few weeks  : D

its been weird getting used to the house at all the different stages, especially when so many things change in a short amount of time. from the very start it was all the dirt in the front yard, then it was seeing the addition take shape, then it was ripping out walls upstairs, having the outside finished, having all new windows and fancy new front door, drywall going up in the addition, new walls and drywall going up in the existing upstairs, carpet being ripped out... in the last month it went from a construction zone to a home. primer went on the walls, texture on the ceiling, finally paint on the walls, laminate in the computer nook, carpet on the floor and furniture and pictures back in place. its incredibly surreal to see it all come together and be sleeping in our new room. one that at times we thought we'd never get to use!

the only big project left is the shower. its the bane of my existence because DH keeps procrastinating on it. standing in the master looking at the new bed and window and look to your right and all you see is chaos. all the tools that have ever been used in the bathroom all haphazardly stuffed in there. its one of those things that feels like it will never get done, or it will if I just do it myself. I'm hoping that after this weekend, he'll actually get enough motivation to finish it since this weekend he's seating the tub after another leak test and we're putting up the last piece of drywall in the garage once the tub is good. then we just have to finish emptying the garage so that the mudders can come in and do the garage for us. so hopefully we only need this weekend on that and the shower can get going next weekend. I've already told dh no bike trips or anything til the shower is done!

I promise i'll get around to putting up pics of the progress on the house. given how much has changed since I last posted a pic, it will probably be a very long picture dense post  ; )
