The addition is still not done. It has taken alot longer than even I expected. The outside still looks the same as the last pics I posted. However, the inside has changed dramatically.
We have the HVAC system in and running, and it's alot quieter than the house unit. Seems there are a few things that need changed that will make it much quieter. Those will be addressed shortly.
The Electrical is all in: wiring, outlets, switches, and recessed lights. The plumbing is all in but not hooked up to the supply.
The wall from the old house to the addition has been removed, so the hall way extends all the way to the new hall.
The drywallers came and did their thing, and what a mess of dust!! I used a friends airless sprayer and sprayed the primer on all the walls - wow did that go fast!! but also uses ALOT of paint.
Most recently David and Cheryl Grate came for a long weekend. Dave helped tremendously with "cutting in" the paint around the ceiling and in the corners. Because of the expense of the paint, I chose to use the roller. We got everything painted twice, and all but one interior door hung while he was here. Thanks a million Dave! (can you come back?)
The master bed and bath are painted the color "Parchment". Hulda painted one of the walls with the Ralph Lauren Candlelight finish which makes the reflection of light glow like a candle glow. It is very neat.
The hallway and laundry room are painted "Stowe White", and Maddie's room is " Be Mine" pink.
All trim and baseboard is painted semi gloss white, as will the door and jams.
Got a call today that the carpet (Master Bed Room) will be installed on Monday the 18th sometime in the afternoon. Once that is in, I will have to lay the laminate in Master bedroom, hallway and Maddie's room. Then the ceramic tile in the master bath and laundry rooms. Then the baseboard and trim can be installed. Then MOVE IN!!
Once the move in is complete, I will have to redo our current masterbed room to our computer, Wii, game & fun room. This includes a new door where the window is that will now led to the new closet; replace carpet with laminate; repaint; new entrance doors (6' Bi-folds). Also, Kayla's bedroom will get the laminate flooring that will match all kids rooms, fun room, and hallways.
Getting closer to the move-in date though. And can hardly wait!! The big reason is we found an almost new King bedroom suit! Will be great to have a complete bedroom and a KING bed!!!!

Kayla enjoying her Christmas gift! She has always enjoyed "Bopping" since she had her first little one that she out grew!! Now she can "bop" all she wants!!
It only took me 45 mins to go from this to finish!!
