Progress

Sunday the work began!! It's so exciting to see things come together! Andrew and dad have been working tons installing all of the plumbing. Dad and I used cultured stone for the back splash where the wood stove will sit. He laid it all up and I made all the cuts to fit just right. I love using power tools! I Love how the backsplash turned out!

Dad put tile in the kitchen and down for the hearth on Monday and then grouted it in the next day.

I need to go back over the tile one more time to remove the excess grout residue.

I am loving how my kitchen looks. Soon we can add the appliances and put in the the island!

Today we are ready to test out all the plumbing that Andrew has worked endless hours installing. The plan is to turn on the pump and have running water. I will admit that I'm kind of nervous! 

We have loved having mom and dad visiting. The kids enjoying waking up each morning and taking a walk with grandma. We took them to our favorite restaurant, Sho Guns, and they loved it!! Last night we went out to Chena Hot Springs to relax. The kids loved swimming with mama and papa. 

Today we have just a little more work to do and then we have lots of fun things planned!
