We apologize for the delay in updating our blog! Life has been a little crazy, but our renovation still continues to move forward. The framers finished framing the rooms on the second floor and moved around walls on the first floor. When you walk in the house you get a feel for how everything will look when it's complete! We wish you could see it in person, our pictures don't do it justice.
Michael dug our footers for our front porch last weekend and we experienced some heavy rain during the week. Good thing Michael and I built a structure to house the trench, which kept it dry as bone!! The guys came and poured the concrete footers on Friday.
Ryan traveled the past two weeks for work and we met up in Atlanta last weekend for Jenn and Kevin's wedding!!

| Congratulations Jenn and Kevin on your incredible day!! We were so happy to be able to celebrate your special day and to see our Atlanta crew!! We love you both! |

| A view of the back addition, which will be half kitchen/half living room. The big windows will bring in plenty of light! |
 |
| Standing in the kitchen, you can see the family room straight ahead and the vaulted ceilings in the addition. You also might have noticed that we switched the direction of the stairs. |
 |
| A view of the kitchen/mud area. The door that's covered with plywood in the middle of the picture is the door into the garage from the kitchen |

| Bedroom #2 - We are planning on this being a nursery whenever the kids start coming (no that is not a hint, let's get the house done first) |
 |
| Bedroom #3 |
 |
| Bath #2 on the second floor, laundry room is the room to the right of this picture - Lindsay is super excited to have a second floor laundry room |

| View of the stairs after they were flipped. You now walk down to the basement from the front of the house and upstairs from the back of the house. |
 |
| A view of what you see when you walk through the front door. We removed part of the floor on the second floor, so you can you get the feel of a vaulted ceiling when we enter the house. |
 |
| Michael digging the trench for our porch footers. He's getting really good at (and having just a little bit of fun) operating the diggers! |
 |
| It took Michael and Lindsay 3 hours to build this rain structure around the house to protect the trench from the rain. It was very intense and did its job! |
 |
| Concrete being poured for the porch footer! The porch will run along almost the entire length of the house and wrap around the north side of the house. It should really add some character to the front of the house. |
 |
| Trench for the porch foundation, THANK YOU Michael! |
 |
| These 2 guys had the footers poured in under 30 minutes! Impressive! |
