House Update

Front of house when we first bought it... concealed by HUGE bushes

Front of house after my strong husband cut down the HUGE bush
Front of house minus bushes. Hip hip hooray
Back of house when we purchased it
Back of house with new windows
Back of house in process of deck removal (notice hot husband and awesome dad).
Back of house without deck and in process of siding
Old front window.
New front window. The workers had to deal with Reagan staring at them the entire time they installed this window. The guy was on the outside most of the time so it was like someone staring at you from 18 inches away. She loved it and he tolerated it.
Kitchen when we purchased it (looking in through small doorway).
Kitchen when we moved in (wall removed).
Kitchen progress about one week after we moved in and right before my dad arrived to help.
Yeah!!! Help has arrived.
Final touches on the last coat of mud.

More to come....

I have been anxious to see updates on the work! It looks like a LOT of progress has been made. It does crack me up to imagine Marc working hard all day and night:) Although I am not surprised at his abilities. Larkin is coming to MSP for a conference in 3 weeks. I don't know what her time frame is though. Are you guys coming to Utah any time soon? Take care and the girls are once again, BEAUTIFUL!

I love seeing the updates. Aunt Karen kept a little piece of carbet, wall paper & cabinets. She put them all on a cardboard so that you could see what it looked before and how awesome it looks now. Can't wait to see the final product!

That is a huge overhaul! It looks great and I'll bet you are excited to get all set up in your 'new' house!

I love seeing before and after pictures. I'm so impressed when people completely re-do their homes. I don't think I have the patience or the vision for it.

You have been busy! I can't wait to see it when it is all done! We are finally settled and it is so nice to not have major house projects. I know they will never go away though. Good thing Josh is handy and loves to work!

I'm so excited for the next installment - its like watching HGTV. I love this stuff, and am so impressed at how much work you guys are doing.

We can't wait to see more! I'm especially anxious to see what color scheme you decided on. Wish I was there to see it firsthand!
