So it is Sunday, and I have pictures of the house "as is" appearance. Some right when we moved in to show the walls of the house and the other pictures showing the drywall. Lets just say this has been an experience. We moved in on Tuesday and we had the help of Jeff's Dad and Gayle. They were fantastic help. We stayed in the house for a few nights until Friday night. Friday was the first day of the drywall to be put up; and we are supposed to be out of the house during the day so the guys can work. Well, when we returned that night...drywall EVERYWHERE! Even where they were supposed to block and tarp up our living room...so drywall dust all over the living room furniture and everything else I didn't have protected because they said they would block off that room for us. I understand that this is a messy job, but come on. Thank God drywall dust can be cleaned, because it is dust. Not like paint splatters or something like that. With all of the drywall pieces everywhere, heat disconnected and no shower heads in the showers, we had to make a decision to where to sleep Friday night... so we decided to go stay at Motel 6 in Belmont, which is just 6 min. away. Lets just say, Jeff and I did not sleep well at all. Motel 6 is the cheaper motel experience for sure. The only good thing is they accept pets, and we would be free of all the drywall mess. The floors were linoleum or something like that because we had to stay in the "pets allowed" room. So ALL through the night we would be hearing Jake's "click, click, click" all over the floor. Last night we actually stayed at the new house. The guys picked up all the drywall pieces so we thought it would be better to sleep with the drywall dust than to go back to Motel 6, plus, it is less expensive. It was VERY dusty...but I managed to dust the living area (will be recovering it before the workers return Monday morning). The kids shared the couch (so cute). Jeff had to connect the forced heat last night because they disconnected it, and he temporarily put the shower head back on so we could have a short shower. I did sleep better last night amongst the mess. Even though it is just crazy filthy, it looks 100% better than before. We will get through this, and are super excited to see the finished project! Also, we paid and ordered our new carpet yesterday. It should be installed in about two weeks. LOVE IT! So here are the pictures so far...sorry for the delay.
