Construction Zone

Well now that we own our house Nate decided it was time for demolition (even though he really didn't have time). For those of you who haven't seen our lovely bathroom might not truly understand the rush to start demo. Here is a picture, it really doesn't do it justice.

So everyday Nate grabs his hammer and starts knocking down random pieces of tile, resulting in a lot of holes in my wall. I keep telling him to just wait and we will find a day and do it all at once, but it is just too much for him and he has to feel the satisfaction of tile falling every day! So right now my bathroom is half tile half holes!

Another project we have going is getting the babies room done which is my top priority! Last Saturday my sweet mom and dad came and really helped us get started. They ripped down baseboards and cleaned the walls and took lots of loads to the DI. A few nights ago instead of studying for his final Nate started painting! It really does look awesome though. Here is the before picture (in the process actually). I can't wait until it's done so I can decorate.

The next project that is all going on at the same time is getting new appliances. We moved all of our old appliances downstairs into the rental and we got ourselves some nice new ones! We have the oven in but had some difficulties with the dishwasher. So I have a microwave and a dishwasher in the middle of my kitchen. We are waiting for a part so no dishwasher for a few days which means no kitchen sink and lots of dirty dishes! No stress at all.

The final project that really is almost done is just getting all of our junk into the storage room. The storage room was disgusting and Nate did an amazing job at getting it cleaned up and we do have mostly everything organized and in there! We are also getting a washer and dryer courtesy of my amazing parents which is going to be amazing!!!! For those of you who don't know when they started remodeling the basement in December they took out the washer and dryer and I have been without for 4 months! How do I do my laundry? I hate to say it because I really am spoiled, but my sweet angel of a mother has come down once a week and grabbed our laundry for us. She washes and folds it all! I am so blessed to have her! She has really saved me. THANKS MOM!

And we do need to figure out what to do with this?!?!?!?!
Other than our construction zone life is great. Only two more months tell the little kid is here and we are so excited. Nate finished finals yesterday and only has to take one class this summer which he has already taken (he didn't fail it just didn't finish it in time). I finally have my husband back! I think I spent more time with him the last week than I have the last four months! We are so excited to have our own house though. It feels great (except for we have to go buy a lawn mower and all sorts of gardening tools). I can't wait until all the projects are done so I can sit in my house and actually relax!
