Well, the construction project is almost finished. It will have been a four month project, start to finish. Four months of having a rusty dumpster and a port-a-john in my driveway. Four months of having strange men, many of whom barely speak English, traipsing around and through my house and being able to let themselves in if I don't answer the door when they knock (they have all been extremely considerate, but still...). Four months of starting every conversation with my husband with a run-down of phone calls made, progress made, who was here and what they got accomplished.
It is turning out beautiful and just the way we wanted it to. The contractor keeps asking us if we want to move into the new space. Erica is excited but also hates the idea of Natalie moving into her old room, which she has stated repeatedly that she wants to do. It will be finished next week, and then the work of moving furniture and cleaning can begin.
I will post pictures when all is said and done, and we do plan to have an open house when all of the room rearranging and decorating is finished. Hmmm. Come to think of it, that list is so long it might be the annual Crawfish Boil in June when we host the open house!
Stay tuned...

So what, exactly, did you have done?
We added on a first floor bedroom and bathroom for Erica. She is getting too big for us to carry upstairs, and we didn't want to move away from neighbors and schools to find a ranch home for accessibility.
