It is amazing how excited we get over such small things. I had planned to write this blog over the weekend, so now I have even MORE to write! A while ago, our contractor mentioned that the house might be done around September 1st. He also mentioned that we could move into the house and they would finish the basement once we were already in. Well we decided "NO" to both of these! As of now, it looks like the house will be ready closer to the middle of September and we've told insurance that we do not want to move back in until EVERYTHING is complete. With a new baby and hopefully company, we'd rather move in one time and it be done!
So on Friday, we went by the house after work, and much to our surprise all the drywall/mudding was complete! It looks so good to have real walls up.

We were feeling really good about the progress this weekend. We spent a few hours making decisions and were able to finalize everything for the bathroom upstairs (which is the main bathroom). We also picked paint colors for the entire house.
So after work today (Monday), we stopped back by the house because Mark had seen the plumber and crew at Chick-fil-A today for lunch. Therefore, we knew they had been up there! We have our own ways of spying on the workers! :) We opened the front door and saw new sub flooring, hardwoods started, and a tub in the bathroom. We were like kids at Christmas time!

Our hope is to get our contractor most of the decisions that he needs by the beginning of September, so once Baby Ansley is here, we don't have to focus as much on the house! It is nice to see things coming along! I am suspecting updates and pictures more frequently!!
