Kicked out of our room!

Last I left you we had gutted the bathroom and were well on our way to driving ourselves to delirium with construction. Since that time much has happened. For starters the bathroom got a lot worse before it got better! Then just in case the bathroom wasn't enough we decided to dive into the dressing room/closet project in the master bedroom. Willem began framing up the walls and laid out the electrical. Literally the bathroom and closet project were getting closer and closer to our bed making it feel as if it was out to get us! Finally all has been done that we can do and drywallers are coming in tomorrow to finish it all off. I can't tell you how happy I'm going to be when there will be no more drywall bits and dust finding its way into every room in the house. Here are some pics of it tonight before the drywall guys do their magic. (The pictures have captions on them, just click on them to get a zoomed in version)





Sometime during all this construction I managed to pull Willem away to get the painting done in the baby's room. I knew this whole project was going to come very close to the baby's due date so I wanted the baby's room to be ready. Now that sheet rock day is here we have had to move out of our bedroom and we are now sleeping in the baby's room for the next week or so. I took a few pics of the baby's room since it's been painted. It was difficult getting pics taken as our bed is in there and a ton of other crap that we had to put somewhere until our bedroom is complete. I'll take better pics when we are all back in place and ready for baby boy to come home.



Also in the past two months we had a contractor come out and replace our siding that had gotten destroyed by Gustav. Thank you Vance Henry! You did a great job! We also had our buddy Addison Henry and his crew come out and put up a privacy fence along the side and back of our property. I'll post some pics of that sometime in the future.
I'm getting bigger, due date is getting closer, winter is leaving us and we're looking forward to a spring with our new baby boy and lots of down time!
I'll show more updates as they happen!
By the way, I just wanted to say a public and very big THANK YOU to my husband! He has worked almost every weekend from morning to night since MARCH to make this place my dream home without complaint! I couldn't ask for a better, more loving best friend! Thanks Willem for not giving up and walking away, God knows you have had every right to! I love you!

Hello Willem and Cristy:
It's looking great!
Willem, I'm proud of your handyman/construction skills. You continue the lineage of builders from my Dad onward! It's a good thing baby 3 is going to be a boy, otherwise your girls would have been enrolled in shop classes! (Maybe they will be anyway?)

Looking forward to photos of the finished rooms. Are you still doing a Schluter shower?

Greetings from the Great White North. We have another 3-6inches of snow on the way! Good thing mom and I don't mind shoveling!...and that, thank you Lord!, I am able to help this year.

Cristy, may your delivery be a wonderful one, and mom and the baby healthy and well.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes call. We love you all, and wish we could be able to see more of you. Can we drag Louisiana and Toronto closer?


Love Mom and Dad Mast
