No new pictures to post at the moment...just an update on the house for those that are following our on-going renovations! :)
New siding is going up in a couple of weeks. We finally finalized all of that yesterday and waiting for that to get started. They are also enclosing the porch ceilings and making that all look cleaner. Now instead of wood siding, brick in one place and one room done in updated siding, it will all match!! Yay! And it won't be Christmas colors! :)
As soon as the new siding is up, the work on the chimney begins to cover it in stone that matches the porch.
Also, new gutters going up all around :)
Work continues on the future master bedroom. We started getting the last of the holes filled in this week and are getting those sanded down and finishing up the priming of the walls, tearing out all of the baseboards and trim since none of it matched anyways. Also found out yesterday that we'll have to go ahead and replace that outside door in that room before they begin the siding work, so Robb's super excited about that (haha) I don't think we're going to ever look at doors the same way again after replacing or turning almost every door in this house! haha
So all in all, lots of projects going on right now, which we're hoping to get done before new baby makes his debut! If anyone is bored, just let us know, we got things you can do ;)
Happy Tuesday!!

Summer Time
I guess it's officially summer time! Although I've yet to determine if that's good, bad or indifferent. But none-the-less it's here! And HOT!!!! Of course the summer that I'm pregnant it goes from 50- 90 in a week. Oh well....
Nothing too new going on here. We've made some progress on what will be our master bedroom. Still a long way to go on that one, but we're getting there. Dad came up and helped with the electrical to get that all squared away, all that's left with that now is to get the lights put up and we'll be good to go! Robb and I are working on the walls slowly (as there is a LOT of wall space). Right now pulling old nails out and patching and sanding our way around the room...then pulling all the trim off (as there are about 4 different types in there) and then the painting fun begins. I swear I will bake anything you want if someone wants to come help paint! :)
We're also looking at options to re-do the siding and gutters outside and get that all fixed up and pretty! We've found a look we both love, so we're just shopping around still to see who's got the best pricing on this.
Wyatt is doing great! Learning new things all the time. His latest is he loves to help and have things that he can do. Such as putting his dirty clothes in his hamper, or playing with his drawer in the kitchen and then cleaning it up without being asked and saying "Ta Da!!" once he's done (so we know to clap for him) :) He's even started helping with decorating ideas...you know, pulling the toilet paper from the bathroom all the way across the house (which also ended with a "TaDa!" and hands in the air with a big smile). We love dandilions and picking every single one we can find. He goes for a haircut this afternoon, so that should prove to be entertaining (and hopefully less stressful) than the last one. Here's to that!
Other than that we're getting moving on summer season with the barn and just trying to beat the heat any way we can with rafting (Robb, not me and Wyatt yet) playing on the boat, whatever we can!
Happy Friday!!!
