Speaking of John, he has been busy up in what will eventually be Caitie's bedroom. There was some structural support he needed to work on as well as replacing windows. The front two windows have been replaced and today he is working on the third. Originally we were just going to get rid of that window altogether until we realized we needed a window large enough to meet code, so we are putting in the appropriate sized window. He still needs to build her closet frame and then insulate and sheetrock the room....we have a ways to go but it's getting there. Once he's finished in there he will move to the upstairs bathroom and start the process of gutting and putting that back together. That will be the last work on the house until later this year. We still need to gut the living room, Rylie's room, laundry room, teen/craft room, kitchen and front entry hall and front door to install insulation, new windows and new sheetrock, not to mention tear down the porch and redo that whole thing too. This house will be a work in progress for a few years to come!
We all have been doing well, busy with various activities and work. Steve has been working on reviews of his employees for some time now and that has been challenging his brain. I have been busy with group classes, private lessons and trying to keep the house from looking like a hoarder lives here (the porch made my eye twitch for a while). The girls are still working hard in drama after school to get ready for their play performances in March. They've also started the school ski program on Tuesdays. They continue to make me a raving lunatic every school day morning trying to get them up and out of the house on time. I keep searching for that magical trick...so far no luck.
That's all the news that's fit to print. I hope you all are doing well this winter, feel free to stop by for a visit, just let me know ahead of time so I can try and make the house presentable!
