We are starting on a new adventure. Wes has been commissioned to add a second story to a home in a nice older neighborhood. The process of getting the development permits was not particularily painful but it was excedingly slow. The building permits came through much quicker and now all the stars have aligned and the demolition begins tomorrow.
Here we go!

A few pictures
These are some of the pictures from our agent. I do plan to take some more, but just have to find the time.
We have had quite the up and down drama with the sale of the house. We are hopeful that the conditional offer we currently have on the table will go through tomorrow and we'll have a firm sale. Of course, I won't relax until we have the deal completed.
This real estate business is not for the faint of heart!

The house is listing
We expect the house to be listed on MLS today. Our realtor posted it to her website last night and we have already had one showing. The cleaning is almost complete, thanks to the help of our wonderful friends, Claudia, Shibu and Melanie! We have been so blessed by the support of people around us.
We haven't been so blessed with painters. Finding one who isn't too busy, who will actually show up is rather difficult. We are hoping to have the exterior painting finished tomorrow and Monday. Cross our fingers. Wes is finishing up some final details too before the open house tomorrow.
So if you missed our private open house last weekend and you'd like to come see the house, there is an open house tomorrow afternoon.
Our realtor has taken some lovely pictures of the house and here is the link to her WEBSITE.
We are praying for positive responses and a quick sale.
Thank you to everyone who has been following us through our journey your support has been most appreciated.

Countdown in on
Wes now has a date he is working towards as a "open house" timeline. I won't share the date yet as we have to talk to our realtor first and make sure it works for him. But this means that he plans to crank out as much as he can in as short of a time period as possible.
Which, for us mean, we will see even less of Daddy than we have been, but it will all be worth it.
He has finished a bunch of the exterior chores this week, but has a few left to go.
Count down in on. Time is ticking!! Go Wes Go!

Slow progress
We have been progressing slowly. Lots has been done but everything seems to take time, sigh! I am anxious to be done, but then we also want to make sure things are done well. So there is the issue. Time is the commodity that is most valued at this point.
The trim is almost completed, the painting has started, hopefully to be completed in the next few days or week depending on our timing. The guys are coming in to sand and stain the floor starting tomorrow.
Wes has run into some issues caused by one of our suppliers, much of the work he did Wes has had to redo. Oh well, that is one company we won't hire again. But again, that adds time.
On the whole we have had very good luck. We have had first rate suppliers. I think if we can get through this with having only had one bad experience we will be very blessed. We'd recommend almost all of the people we used from the electrian, heating guys, painter, plumber oh and Grandpa too. They have all been first rate!
I hope to have pictures soon. We are coming to the end and hopefully can start to tie things up in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed that the fixes Wes has to do don't set us back to badly.
