Days 41 and 42 - Come on in!

Seems a bit symbolic - right at the point where the work is starting to move inside, we have a new set of steps up to our front door. Kids were so excited to use the new steps!

Starting at the end of last week, and continuing into this week, we have both a plumber and an electrician there, roughing in the new rooms. The electrician is running wire, setting up outlets and switches, and installing overhead lighting. I'll try to get a few pix, but it may not have the dramatic effect of, say, putting up an entire wall in a day.

Last Friday, the plumber put in the shower valve and set up the hookups for the toilet and sinks in the master bath, as well as the washer/dryer in second floor laundry. I had a willing subject, so I did manage to snap a shot of the laundry closet:

Let's hope she's this excited when I ask her to help me wash clothes!

Meanwhile, Byron and Ervin were outside, putting up more siding and window trim - here's the view from the back:
