This was one of those perfect weekends, lots of family time, lots of house progress – just perfect all around. Aimee, Jason and little Jason came up on Saturday. The guys worked on the bathroom, Jason getting the rough-in plumbing finished up and Ryan getting the cement board up and both of them installing the tub. The bathroom is really coming together quickly after this weekend.
Jason also got the rough-in for the laundry room done and Sunday our neighbor came over and helped ryan finish sheetrocking the bathroom. I think we have just 4 small pieces of cement board around the window to do, then we can red-guard the tub/shower and it will be tile ready. In the mean-time I’m hoping to have time to tape/spackle the ceiling and walls.
Some redi-tile shelves in the shower

The other side of the shower
Right before the last wall went up. I had to get the wiring done so they could get some light in here 🙂
On Sunday I got the upstairs all cleaned up and vacuumed and then went out and got a coat of paint on the window and trim on the front. It needs 1 more coat and some sections of crown need to be touched up (filled holes) but it’s all yellow so it looks like the finished product now.
The window is yellow now! And our neighbor restored one of the other 1/2 moon windows (working on the last) so we’ll have all attic windows in before winter and closed up – amazing!
Aimee and I took the kids to the park Saturday for a long while (and again on Sunday for a short while) and they had a blast. Alex built up a lot of confidence on the structures having a kid close to her size show her how to do everything and Aimee convinced me to allow her to go down the big slides by herself – I had a heart attack each time but Alex had a blast!
Cousins!
me having a heart attack!
Swings!
To really make the weekend perfect, Uncle Pete, Aunt Erin and gang all made it out Saturday for dinner so the kids got to see more family and we got to catch up – it’s too long between visits with busy schedules on all sides!!!
