The majority of the house is sheetrocked but we do have a few places that have been held up.
We ordered our master tub and pot filler on Amazon so we could get it quicker than any local store who said they had to order them in. The Pot Filler showed up 2 days late and was missing the part we needed to be able to finish sheet rocking the wall. The manufacturer was willing to send us the part but said it would take 7-10 business days before we got it. We didn't have that much time. So we sent it back to Amazon and ordered a new one. Same day we got our bathtub (Which was delivered a week late!). When it was delivered the front of the box was smashed in. Wasn't to shocked to see a huge gouge in the porcelain where the box was crushed. We did NOT accept the delivery and had to re order another one. The new one was delivered on time and is in perfect condition. We were able to finish plumbing for it. We got the new pot filler too and was able to finish that wall in the kitchen.
Once the plumbing stub outs were done we moved on to insulation AGAIN but this is the last time!!
Miss Kylie was our button pusher.
We had to insulate the master bath exterior wall, the attic over the bathroom now that Kory fixed our water leak AND the garage. We bought 30 bags, used all of them and had to go back for more. But we did it! ALL the insulation is finally done.
When we were done with the insulation we were able to finish the sheet rocking. It took us a few days. We had a friend come help a few times and Kory brought his employee's home to help finish too.
While Kory, Hunter and the employees were sheet rocking the kids and I were doing other things.
These 2 went around and took off all the electrical plates so we don't get sheet rock mud on them.
The things our children has learned over the past 2 years is crazy when we start to think about it. This house has been built by ALL of us. We have each played our own parts in it.
Kids and I also took out the old wood floor. This was quite the chore.
Who ever laid it used some crazy glue.
We took turns letting the little kids try busting it up while us older ones hauled it out to the trailer.
We finally got it all!
While we were working on the inside our stucco guys continued to work outside.
The gray coat is on. Now it gets to sit for a few weeks before they come back to paint.
It gives the house a whole new look.
Our house and garage is full of tools. In preparation of our tape and texture guy coming we had to haul stuff out of the garage to give them room.
We put all our trim pieces and tile by the front door so it doesn't get rained on.
We had to move stuff around on the inside too. Kory brought home these 4 large cabinets that we have been using as a pantry/ kitchen shelves for several months now. We had to clean them off and get rid of them so our tape and texture guys could do their thing behind them.
With lots of patience and several try's we were able to take everything off 3 of the shelfing units.
We put the absolute necessities and things that were opened onto one cabinet.
All my open spices, 2 mixing bowls, 9x13 pans, large pans, plates, cups, bowls, opened boxes of cereal, Tupperware, cookie sheets, etc are squished into one cabinet. Where did everything else go? Down to the dungeon. My nice tidy organized fruit room sure didn't last long! We just had to throw all the big stuff down there so it's out of the way up stairs.
My one little counter had to be cleaned off to or I would end up with sheet rock mud all over it. So we took everything to the laundry room. The air compressor and some of the tools that Kory didn't want outside had to go in there too.
The paint that we have had to go somewhere else too. So it went downstairs to the fruit room.
I really hate this! I feel like we are living in a hoarders house! But just a few more weeks and hopefully this stuff will all have it own place again.
We did it! We are ready for Monday when the tape and texture guys come.
