One month down! Actually tomorrow marks one month since we received our keys. It doesn't feel like that long ago, but at the same time it feels like I don't remember anything but living in the basement! This past week we did some heavy lifting... well Chris and some of our friends did heavy lifting. My friend Carley and I helped by directing... "pivot!" We were able to get our beam and posts up in the great room. It's getting easier to visualize the room with the living room floor filled in and the beams up. I am so excited for the next few weeks. We will be framing the ceiling rafters and getting the drywall installed. Once that is done we can take the temporary support beams down and we will be able to see the room completely open. This week we took advantage of the Black Friday deals and purchased our appliances. I can't wait to see them in the kitchen... I can't wait to cook again!
Here are some photo highlights of this past week!
