I'm sure this will be the first of many posts about paint. We have a very large house that needs to be painted floor to ceiling at least three times. We have the first coat of primer on most of the first floor. We have the pantry and our bedroom and bathroom left to do downstairs and the all of the upstairs. Daddy and Momma painted the two bedrooms, bathrooms and closets before we even got home from work. Chad, Justin and I showed up about 5 and worked until dark. I think we're going to make good progress this week.
I'll post pictures after some color starts going on the walls. For now, it's just more of the same white walls.

Sheetrock Update
The sheetrock is almost complete. I think they just have a few ceilings to finish which should be done tomorrow. Then it's time to cleanup and get ready for the paint.
Justin and Nathan look over the first few day's work.
The upstairs bonus room now has the last window installed. This is Justin's side of the room for all of his computer toys.
Looking out the back windows of the living room. As of Friday afternoon, they have the main living space ceiling to finish and we'll be done!
This is the pattern on the ceiling...I promise it will look better once painted.
The garage with the vinyl siding on the ceiling and what they call "smart board" on the walls. We do need to paint the walls, but we're almost finished in here.

VBS
How could I forget about these pictures?? Justin, Nathan, Liz and Cady helped kickoff Vacation Bible School at FUMC by dressing as a characters from SonWorld Adventure Park. I think Justin got the easy end of the deal compared to Nathan.
Sheetrock
Most of the sheetrock was completed by Saturday with the last few bits added today. I think the mudding and finishing part of the sheetrock comes next. I've heard this is where it gets messy....yay!

Justin's workshop
Daddy, Chad and Justin are continuing the work on a shop for Justin. He'll keep all of his antenna stuff in there and have the large 80 foot tower close to that shop. I can't wait!
More Progress
I hear that things really slow down when the inside work starts. I think that's only for people watching the house from the outside. I can see differences everyday. Most of the ceiling sheetrock was put up today in the main living spaces along with the pantry and two closets. I'm impressed with that. We also have the vinyl up on the front porch and screened in backporch ceilings.

Siding and Sheetrock
The siding is in place on the dormers. Look how well it matches the windows.
This is Justin's storm shelter/closet. It's reinforced with steel and extra plywood.
The sheetrock is up in most of the upstairs bonus room area.

Look at this!
Sheetrock was delivered on Monday...a day before we were expecting it!
Insulation was completed on Friday. This is a picture is in the bonus room upstairs.
Patrick takes a few hits on the sand in the screened in porch.
The boys head back to the house after starting the work on Justin's little shop. Maddie and Sadie stay as close to Daddy as possible.
Chad helps nail the wall supports into place.

Overdue Update - Windows and Doors
The doors and windows were put in last week. I've just been slow in putting up pictures. I love the front door. It will be painted a dark tan/brown color. I think that will really make the glass on the door stand out. In other news, we passed the electrical inspection on the first try this week. Insulation should start tomorrow or Monday followed by sheetrock sometime after that. We're excited!
Justin spent his free time this week placing his "patch panels" for all of his hundreds of feet of cable. Here he is showing off his work. Look how neat those cables are. They almost look profesional!
