That is funny!! My SIL says that she is going to borrow our bathroom every now and then. She said "If I come over with some bags and go into the bathroom for hours don't worry I am just testing the tub it may take a while"

All the plumbing and most of the insulation is done. Once the inspector comes out and gives us the ok we will be able to close up the walls and start on the fun stuff!!

All of the house's electrical passed except the service line. I guess it is too long, so Tuesday the inspector will be out to pass that. He told them how to run it so that it would pass so it should only take the guys a couple of hours to fix that. Tomorrow the plumbing inspector will be out and then the guys can dry wall everything besides the laundry room. The laundry room has to wait till after Tuesday.

I guess this weekend I had better by some rollers and paint and get ready to paint my house!!

That is such awesome news!!! Have you decided what color(s) you are painting?

The only room I have really nailed down is K's. I know I want bright colors, something that will open up the rooms and make them seem bigger. The house is small and I know if I go with darker colors it will make it look smaller than it is. I found a really pretty ocean green color I think I am going to do for the living room. I am probably going with a light airy yellow in the kitchen. Maybe a beige or tan color for the laundry room. The bathroom is going to be tiled on the walls, probably a light grayish/white tile. Then K's room is going to be pink with a purple texture. Our bedroom, I have no clue.

I have so been slacking!! Ok, today I will go over and take pictures of the house. They have put the decks on the outside of the house. (having to wait for the electrician to come over and fix his whoopsie. Now they are waiting on the inspectors to come back out. (Oh, yeah we failed our plumbing also, LOL but FIL had everything fixed the day of inspection) I promise I will be back on to update with more pictures later today/ tomorrow morning.

Here are our decks. Dh is going to take pictures of what they have done in the bathroom and bring them home later.

My dh is such a literate mind.

I asked him to take pictures of the house. He says "not much has changed" I said well I haven't gotten pictures of the bathtub and stuff since it got framed in. Well these three pictures are all I got. Seriously could he be more literal about it? I want him to get pictures of the closets in the bathroom too.

Men!

Here is what is going on with the electrical: The electrician is fighting with the electric company to keep the incoming electric line on the side of the house, so he don't have to put more holes in our roof. Tomorrow is (hopefully) the final inspection on the electrical, if the inspector signs off on it we can take that plus the electrician's papers to the electrical company and have them hook the line up.

Power!! As of right now they have been working on the dry wall. They have most of the kitchen done and the master bedroom. They have closed in the shower. Today and tomorrow dh will be in New York, so his dad will be there with a couple of our friends working on the dry walling and hopefully passing the inspection. Here are a few pictures I took a couple of days ago.

K really needed a nap so I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, but that gives you an idea.

Well the kitchen is almost completely dry walled. The master bedroom has the closets and one wall left to dry wall. K's room has the ceiling dry walled. When I was over there they were working on the ceiling in the bathroom. They said that next week I would start painting. (this week coming up) I guess that means I really need to pick my colors.

Thanks for stopping by Heather!!

Yes my dear the way those 2 work it will defiantly be this week...

Have you narrowed down your choices?

shan · #**164** (**permalink**) 10-28-2008, 08:46 AM

I am going today to make my final choices Heather. I plan to scan all my colors onto the computer. Wish me luck!! Oh, and dh told me he was buying one of those handy paint guns!!

That should be so much easier than rolling. (And quicker which is probably why he is buying it.) Of course my dad has one so I will call him and get my sister to come over and man one!!

I have picked out my colors for the house!!

I am so excited to start painting!! I will have to get some pictures up of how the house is coming along. The colors I have picked are: Master bedroom~ Sweet Slumber, a light, bright almost baby blue color. Living room~ Sculpture White, it almost looks like a really light sage. Kitchen~ Saffron Ivory, really pretty light yellow. Laundry room~ Tangerine Dream, a orange tinted white (it is really prettier than it sounds). I picked them out of the Valspar whites book. I didn't want any dark colors because it would make the rooms look smaller than what they are. I found the right colors of purple and pink for K's room. Now I have to go up and buy my paint gun and get to work!!
