Alive and kicking...

I'm still alive and kicking...I've just been busy with school and Whitney. So, in order not to keep my faith readers waiting any longer, I've decided to post some pictures without my usual witty, insightful commentary. Feel free to post comments or questions. Enjoy! To start with, I'll take you through the transformation of the grand entry hall. These pictures were taken with my back to the front door.

This is the way the entry hall looked when I bought it:


Then we put down new sub-flooring and added plumbing for upstairs and a cold-air return for the AC:


Then we sprayed foam insulation in the outside walls:


Then we built a wall under the staircase for a half bath, installed recessed lighting, and hung the sheetrock:


...which brings us to this week...the sheetrock is being mudded and sanded this week. Whitney is actually starting to look like a house again!
