It has been a while since the last update and that is for 2 reasons. One, because for a while nothing was happening and two, I haven't been on the ball since things got going again.
A little over a week ago, Jonathan took to the second half of the house and gutted it (minus a few walls) and is now rebuilding. He took last week and this week off to work on it. It's been going alright, but probably slower than hoped for.
Philippe and I have been staying at my aunt and uncle's with a few appearings from daddy when time allows.
Last week was really tough on me and I have a looming feeling that this week will be similar. I'm hoping to be back home mid-week, but who knows right?
Right now, our living room has ALL the stuff from our bedrooms and bathroom packed from floor to ceiling, with a little bit of space for our couch and the tv in front of it. But at least our kitchen is there and working like a charm!
What will it look like in the end? A long hallway with rooms off to either side. We're adding a 3rd bedroom, enlarging the main bathroom and re-arranging the setup in the master bedroom to still have a walk-in closet and ensuite, just in different locations.
Philippe's room will remain the same, just a higher ceiling and drywall instead of wall panelling.
The dining room will extend in a bit more than what it is right now and we'll be shifting the door to the porch over more toward the dining room so that it's not in the 3rd bedroom.
Jon's working like a mad man trying to make it liveable so he can have us back at home. I think he's feeling pretty lonely, and I am too. Man, I don't know how people go on with their spouse away for extended periods of time.
The electrical inspection got a pass and now today there is the plumbing inspection and hopefully tomorrow one of many building inspections.
As things progress I think I'll be more motivated to write about it!
