Bluegrass & Buckeyes: It's Been Awhile

So it's been awhile since I posted an update. There are several reasons for that, including the fact that I started Graduate school last week which ate up a huge chunk of time and the fact that I was out of town for the holiday weekend. But fear not! Work went on at the house. Lots of work in fact.

The last weekend I did an update, we had been working on the soffits and facia boards outside. The boys finally got the front of the house done, as well as both sides of the garage. The back still needs to be done, but it looks much better.

When I left last Friday, Landon and his Dad were working on painting some of the siding outside. That turned out to be way more of a job than we expected, but they made some progress.

And, since it rained for a good portion of the weekend, they ended up starting work on the Guest Bathroom. We hadn't planned on redoing that particular room, but since we discovered that the sub floor was rotted out beneath the tub, we had to tear it apart. And, since we were going to tear everything out anyway, it seemed silly to not put it back just the way we wanted. So, it's getting a makeover too. So far the subfloor has been replaced, the toilet has been torn out (so no more potty at the house at all), the tub and surround are out, the vanity has been removed, and the vanity light is down. Oh, and some of the drywall is gone.

Surround coming out.

Working on the tub.

Nearly out.

Keep going.

Vanity and mirror gone.

And tub and subfloor gone.

New green board up. Plumbing fixed.

More wiring sticking right out of the wall. No light box.

But we're getting it back together. We've bought a new tub, vinyl floor tiles, plumbing fixtures, and vanity top (we are painting the old cabinets). The toilet we already bought.
