When we bought the house, the laundry room was outside in the garage. My mom didn't like that because it wasn't heated and she didn't want to laundry in the cold. We decided to build a hallway from the dining room to the laundry room and put in a door. We finished that this week before we left for the beach, and it looked really nice! The HVAC guy is projected to be here next week, and we have asked him to add heating and air conditioning into the laundry room. We are out of things that we can do ourselves before the plumbing and HVAC goes in which is sort of disappointing, but after both of those get put in we will put in flooring and move in.

The past week we've been fixing all the damage. We placed the headers on the wall we tore out, and put in a new door to the garage. We moved the door because there was no place in the kitchen for a fridge until we moved it. We also fixed the damage from the termites in the bathroom and put up a whole new wall. We are planning to be moved in by Christmas which will be really nice. I'm hoping that we are so that we can decorate the house. I'm looking forward to putting up our Christmas trees because it's always been my favorite part of the holidays.
Over the weekend, we tore out both of the bathrooms to begin remodeling them. When we tore out the vanity in the hall bathroom, we found extreme damage in the walls. The beams that were supporting the ceiling were entirely destroyed by termites. We weren't planning on replacing that wall, so we've hit a bit of a speed bump. We intend to replace the wall and the plumbing this coming weekend. After we finish replacing the wall, we will put down the flooring and put in the new vanity that my mom bought on Monday! We've made a lot of progress, and we're almost done with our first project!
Over the past weekend, we finally got to start working on the inside of the house. We took out all the carpet and the padding underneath. The house sits on a concrete slab, so we swept and vacuumed up all of the dirt that fell out of the carpet while we were moving it. We also took down three walls to open up some of the rooms. That process went smoothly but now there are some slightly dangerous electrical wires hanging out of the ceiling, but they are dead so that they won't burn the house down. Also, Hilsdale Roofing started on the roof Saturday and are projected to be done this week and they are going to fix the leak around the chimney so that we can start putting up the new ceiling where there is water damage. After all of this is completed we will put in the new flooring and most likely be able to move in!
