yes

dry to the wall

i wish i was organized and could show you people wicked awesome sequenced before and after photos like those people who blog for a living do... but i am not.  i sift through hundreds of random photos and try to pick the ones that show progress the most.  walker totes redesigned the master bedroom and the hallway to add an extra bedroom - without too much disruption and still managing to keep enough closet space for all. of. my. clothes.  he's like tom the builder from pillars of the earth only better.

so
fresh and so
so clean
 view from dining room to new hallway
new bedroom sans window

dry wall is completo. hard wood floors are in (next post).  headed west to MT for thanksgiving.  looking forward to seeing kiddos.  not looking forward to the drive in this weather.  if we don't make it - it's been real world wide web.

update

it is groundhog day with the templetons.  eat. sleep. work. work on house.  start all over again - with an occasional libba drinks an entire bottle of wine added in the mix.  we are both extremely busy with our regular jobs.  the jobs that we need to succeed in order to pay the mortgage for this fun "project" we started.  progress has been made.  yes it has.  when you see it every day it's hard to notice - much like gaining weight.  i asked walker if all he did was sweep last sunday, it didn't go over well - he was up in the crawl space taking out another load bearing beam (a beam that i didn't even notice, but he wanted the closet in the master bedroom to be 'floating') all day. his perfectionism and attention to detail is beyond anything i have ever experienced. 



look at all that trash

imagine a kitchen one day

new bedroom


this will soon be a wall.

take it off!

1. dining room before - walls every where

2. opening up

3.  boom.

"getting there" is walker's motto.  i hope so, because unless you live in china, living with your parents passed 20 is just not natural.  on either sides of the house.  i know they want us out just as bad.
