Update

It has been a while since we have updated and a lot has been happening.  We have been so busy with work and the holidays so this post is long overdue.  Most of the demo work is done and the new wall for the kitchen is up.  The electrician is still working on some spots throughout the house so some of the rooms do not have the new drywall up.  Hopefully the electrician will finish up soon so the rest of the rooms can be finished.

All the new windows are in, I have posted some pictures below.  The new HVAC and duct work is also in.  They are still working on some stuff with the condensers outside but units inside in the basement and in the attic are installed.  The plumber has been busy as well.  When they opened up the wall in the living room where the stairs are we discovered that the water pipes for the upstairs sink run through that wall.  The plumber was able to rerun this so we are still on track to have the upper half of the wall open and the lower half be a built in bookcase.  Additionally the plumber has replaced the sewer line in the basement and run the piping for the new kitchen sink.

We are finally finished scrapping all the wallpaper glue off of all the bedroom walls.

Jared has started to paint some areas.  He got the primer done in the kitchen/dining room space and put the first coat of the top paint on.  The second coat won't go on until the cabinets are installed which should be around January 12th we believe.  He also was able to prime and first coat of final paint in the new hallway behind the kitchen.  The plan is to have a painting effort this weekend to try to get the primer done in most of the rest of the house and possibly start on some of the top coats.  Jared's coworker Karen came over to help us pick out paint colors so we have paint picked out for all the rooms in the house, which was a huge help in aiding us to make some decisions.

We have continued to have the help of family and are very thankful for it.
