Closed In

The house is starting to feel closed in now, the drywalling started Monday. One day early in the week we walked into the house and Nathan was amazed at how closed in and small the house felt now that he couldn't see all the way through from the mudroom to his room!

I realized I didn't have great pictures of the drywalling process. Larissa had desperately wanted to take pictures so these are from her perspective.

The kids like to play on the scaffolding so much that Bethany has asked for some for her birthday!

The basement floor was poured this week!! Bethany was thrilled and is eagerly anticipating the raising of the stairs so she can run up and down them and dance on the basement floor. Now we can get the electrical and venting finished in the basement and a few walls roughed in. I'm not sure when that will all happen but I'm looking forward to the basement progress!

I also chose colours for our walls this week. I walked through the house with our painter, who is also an interior decorator, and in less than two hours had the house all coloured. Ron was busy so couldn't be part of the process, which is good, I'm pretty sure it went faster this way!!

The plan for this week is to start mudding and installing the basement stairs. We could guess on a few other things that may happen this week but it turns out that we're not very good at that game!
