Back in the Saddle Again......

Sorry it's been so long since I last updated....but we were away for a week and then I've been trying to get myself back into some sort of routine with my kids.  Olivia started Kindergarten, dance and soccer and Ava had Preschool Orientation and starts swimming this week...so it's been busy in our house! 

So what's new on the "home" front?   A LOT!  The 2nd floor has been pretty much framed out..with the exception of the master bath (it's started, but they need to cut into the existing roof and can't until the new roof/ceiling is up).   With the 2nd floor changes we made a few weeks ago.....we were able to sit down with John's wife (who has a degree in interior design) and come up with a great plan...which gave us a HUGE closet, nice sized master bath (with HUGE shower and double sinks) and a way to fit a King sized bed and multiple pieces of furniture.  Our original master bedroom didn't have any of these things...so we know we made the right choice going bigger with the master suite! 

More pictures to follow.....tomorrow of the actual rooms framed out!

They also gutted the playroom and existing bathroom........while gutting the bathroom they found that whoever built our house used dirt and rocks to level the floor out.  Unreal....the more we move forward the more bumps we find in the road!   So this means they have to pull the floor our and redo it...coming up with a way to level the floor.  They also found like 4 layers of wall when taking down the walls.....lots of layers of sheet rock and tile glued over each other!   So needless to say it took an entire day to gut a small bathroom.  It's done now......Here are the bathroom floor pictures.  You can still see some dirt ad rocks!

Here is the full gut job!  :)

You can see in this picture...they moved the window to it's new home!

I will add some more updated pictures tomorrow!
