Progress in pieces

Although it is lengthy, progress is being made. The kitchen is almost ready for cabinets and paint, which is awesome. The lights were put in last week and all the whole's were touched up. The drain behind the refrigerator was pushed back so now our painter can come in and made it look more like a room than a construction zone.

The upstairs bathroom officially has a dropped ceiling! With the recently installed lights and new air vents (we unfortunately had to replace the entire heating and air conditioning units because they were original from the home.. 31 years old and not functioning one bit), it looks pretty spiffy actually.

I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but they started to put up the sheet rock to close off one of the bedrooms. 

 The tub is hopefully getting installed on Monday, so after that is in, it will DEFINITELY start looking more like a bathroom and less like a gutted space. Hopefully once the tub is in, everything else will start falling into place much faster.

I'll post again a little later today with the inspiration pictures I was talking about from my neighbor. Sorry for the delay! School is over now, so hopefully I'll have more time to keep you all updated.

p.s. - With every negative there is always a positive. We did have to spend more money than we had originally anticipated due to the overhaul of the heating & a/c unit. However, they replace all our vent covers in the whole house for free, and they look sooo much nicer now!
