House Update--May

Because I was out of town when they put the insulation in, I only got these couple of photos. I thought the blow in orange stuff they put around all the windows and pipes was cool.


All the scaffolding for the drywall. It was so fun to walk into all the rooms and see actual walls, instead of just imagining them around the studs.







The drywall seems to go up fast and then we had a week or so of getting it ready--so no new pictures. But this is right after Mother's Day. Reed and the kids planted me a dogwood out at the new house for part of my Mother's day gifts. It was the best! It was wet and rainy on Mother's day so we didnt' get any photos that day, but Zoe was with me this day when I was out there.


They started on the deck.

The drywall is ready for the trim work!





The front door goes up!



Detail trim work--the columns, stairs and crown molding is almost finished.















Tile started in all the bathrooms.


My favorite--my mudroom and cubbies for the family--there are two more on the other wall (Reed and I will share--which he say's means he doesn't get one, but that's not true, I want a spot for his stuff too! :) )




More of the deck, this is right as you walk out the door off the kitchen.



That's all the photos for May. It didn't seem like a lot for a whole month, but the changes were big and a lot of it took a while. I can't believe how much time they spent doing trim, etc.
