A Foundation of Faith: Inside and Out

Here we are... just passed the 3 month mark and still going strong! Since the last post, quite a bit has been accomplished!

Inside: The insulation was installed and thankfully the house is actually staying a little bit cooler now, even without A/C. That is a good sign! Shortly after, the sheetrock was installed. It is amazing how it can happen so quickly! Over the last few days the walls have been primed white and ready for some color. Also, my dad/our electrician was here last weekend so Matt, my mom and I all helped install the switches, plugs and breakers. Power should be turned on early next week. AND that means A/C will be turned on! woohoo! Even with all the shade out there, I have to admit it gets pretty hot!

Outside: Doors, Doors, Doors! The exterior doors are all up! Wednesday they installed the garage doors, which turned out so nice - pic below. And Thursday, the doors to the house went up! So so so happy with them! If you look back at our post from March 26, you can see the doors when we first bought them and now, below, how they look stained and painted.

You will also notice in the pictures that we finally cleared out the clutter in front of the house and leveled out the lot. It is ready for some landscaping!

Also, huge thanks to my mom, who has been here with us the last 2 weeks and has been such a huge help getting the house clean and so many other little things. We have also enjoyed hitting up the thrift stores and antique stores to find lots of goodies for the house. Will definitely share more in later posts.
