New Year!

I am way behind on blogging and updating photos and laundry and writing and . . . . the list is endless. But I've been enjoying some quiet time at home, resting from my end of year cold (an annual event apparently) and I will get back to work in the new year . . . at least that's the plan. Happy New YEAR!

Bathroom!!!!! & Laundry:)

Well, it begins. We have only been on our sabbatical about 2 weeks and we are beginning another project. I've decided we like projects and are especially good at demo construction work so we started to remodel our current laundry room into a new laundry and bathroom. Once that is done we'll have plumbed for an upstairs bathroom also. I can't really write down how excited I am - whooo hoo. And I'm pretty aware of the work ahead and still excited to start the process. By the time we actually finish our house to the picture in our heads, I'm thinking we will be pretty skilled laborers.

But like I mentioned, we are better at demo so I plan to hire out the things we know we dislike and are not all that good at like the plumbing and sheetrock and probably the tile work as I want it done right;). Here is a few beginning photos. As you can see the boys like the demo phase as well!

A little retro fitting on this one but fun mud photo nonetheless.
