Well it's be a couple weeks since I last updated and things are starting to get pretty well finished. Last Wednesday, Travis got the upstairs textured. I couldn't believe how different it looks. It looks amazing!! He should be ready to texture the downstairs the beginning or middle of this week and then he'll be done for awhile. After he textures, I will do all my painting and they him and his guys will come back and put my trim on and just do minor finishing things. I plan on starting to paint Tuesday. Also, all of my plumbing is done. And Jon, my electrician, is working on putting in some temporary lighting so I can do some painting at night.
We also blew in some new insulation in my attic and in the storage space above the kitchen. It cost a few dollars to do but it will pay for itself in one winter. We blew it in about 8 inches thick.
I will post a couple pictures for you all to look at. They will be of my new texture, my porch lights that I picked up, and the insulation machine and a few bags of the insulation. If any of you want to help me paint, don't be afraid to holler. I am going to have lots to do and would enjoy the company and appreciate any help I could get!

Looking like a home...
Sorry I didn't update last week. I wanted to make sure there was enough stuff being done before I updated again. Well since the last post all the sheetrock has been put up and the electrical work is 98% done. The only thing left Jon has to do is put a couple lights in the basement. Travis and his crew have been working on taping and mudding the drywall seams. They put on 4 coats of mud and upstairs and in the bathroom they are on the 3rd coat, while in the rest of the house they are on the 2nd coat. They also got my shower put in and most of the plumbing done. Holmes Tiling will be back this week to run my water line so Travis can finish the plumbing. We are also going to blow in some insuation in the attic and the crawl space above the kitchen. I was told last week that they should finish up major work this week and that I will be able to start painting next week!! It's so exciting!! I'm ready to start painting!! Thanks for reading njoy the pictures of the transformation.
