Workin' 9 to 5....and 5 to 10...and 8 to 12.....

We are working so hard right now!!!! Carpet comes tomorrow so we needed to have all of our part of the work done for that. Well, we got most of it done...we still need to reattach the air conditioning vents, move the bunk bed and guest room furniture, and I thought I could just touch up the office paint but its gonna have to be totally redone. We have things that still need to be done like window sills and baseboards installed but those are going to wait until after carpet. The only reason I haven't run back to Home Depot for more paint is b/c tonight is communion at our church and I won't quit painting once I start. After communion tonight I'll try to get the first step done on the office walls and then try to hit it hard b/f the carpet guys get here in the morning.

The cleanup from the construction has been unbelievable. By the way I think that painting ceilings is a job that should be reserved for convicts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's awful!!!!!!!!! And painful. I'll probably be coughing up sheet rock and texture dust into the new year.

I'm glad Jon Michael like to take pictures so much, he's chronicling our work very well. I'm to exhausted to sit here and arrange the photo's in order so I'll just tell you about them in the captions.

We'll take pictures as things start coming back into the house from storage, we plan on trying to get that done in the evenings and when Jonathan is off on Monday.

FYI...you can't touch up suede faux technique!!!

Me touching up the ceiling and walls...yep, I'm 2 stories up on top of a scaffold!

This was last night, we worked for 5 hours installing the fan and lights in the house....IN THE DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought some awesome flashlights that worked pretty well for us.

Hanging the entry light...my arms were shaking and cramping!

Jalyn "helping" Daddy install the wall switch for the fan/light.

The camera flash is brighter than our flashlights!

When its pitch black in the house for 5 hours there's not much more to do than go to sleep.

Every time Jon Michael would take our picture we'd joke and say it was the last one of us together b/c once we were done one of us was leaving the other!!! We really work very well together and it always brings us closer BUT there's lots of "suggestions" to each other how things should be done...its stressful but fun working together and we're always proud of each other, how hard we each work and what we accomplish.
