Wanted to share my hubby's progress over the past two weekends...he has been one busy bee. I am so impressed with him. He managed to get all this done as well as start stripping the door frame for the basement door despite hurting his back in the process. Everything is all framed up :) Woot!

Now just a few more small projects before we are ready for plumbing and electrical.
Here's our check-off list with a couple more items completed:
finish framing- re-install dining room built-in --this is half done
- rip out old floor
patch large hole in floor (with studs) from old chimney - install 1/2" ply subfloor
- electrical (that includes getting electrical bids)-hired out
- plumbing-hired out
- insulation
- drywall-hired out (we still need to get bids-is there anyone you can recommend?)
- new to us back door (purchase & install)
- frame out and install new basement door (we are using the door that
went from our bedroom into the kitchen as it is in great condition)--half done
- put in gas line for stove
- put in vent duct work

And a picture of the two little munchkins this morning. It is Laurel's 2nd Birthday today so we rode the MAX train downtown (this is like going to Disneyland for them:) and met up with Steve and Laurel's mom for lunch. I can't believe how big they are getting.
