Snow, windows, insurance woes, and the master bathroom plan.

So since we last gave you and update, we've gotten insulation, drywall, doors, trim, some windows, siding some paint, just a few things that make the house feel more like a house.

We've had more slow but steady progress, made some decisions about the fireplace, and I'm sharing our guest bath design choices.

We really need help designing our fireplace. Really. Please.

Lots of plumbing and electrical work done this week.

In the last few weeks, there's been work on the porch, restoring the windows, meeting with the electrician and plumber, and installing the visible portions of the ventilation system.

More work on the crawlspace and framing the back half of the roof and ceiling. The contractor is finally going to get paid. And we got our first and hopefully last case of vandalism.

Over the last couple of weeks, we transitioned from demolition to construction. Most of the framing is done but we still don't have a roof on the back half of the downtown luxury slum.

Week three provided the foundations (or lack thereof) for open-concept living by ripping out the rear, non-character defining roof, floor, and back wall.
