We're Getting Wired!

So it has been a few days since I have updated. I must say, part of my lack of blogging has been due to two things: 1. dropbox not working on my phone which equals no updated pictures and 2. company over the weekend :) So here is an update from the last week.

The showing on our house was cancelled. Bummer. We were so excited, but I guess what's meant to be will be. We were running 100mph to get the house looking and smelling great! So we just had an extra clean house for us last week.

The house on the other hand is just coming right along. As I mentioned, the windows and front door are in! They sent the wrong front door, so that will have to be replaced. We are just waiting on the garage doors and patio door and we will be all closed up!

Matt and Justin are working on the electrical now. Wiring the house is a large task that will take a few weeks, especially since they are basically working evenings after work and weekends. As I mentioned we had visitors this weekend! Mom and dad came down to help. Of course dad couldn't stand it that work was going on and he needed to be involved.

Friday night we layed out where all the outlets should go in each room. That was a chore to really think about where furniture might go and how a room would be set up. Mom and I had a fun time doing it though.

The boys worked pretty much all day Saturday. My father in law Mark even came out to help run wire. Sunday, Justin and his twin brother Jeremy came to work and really knocked out A LOT! Dad was amazed how fast they worked! Mom and I made some trips to Menard's to pick up more supplies. I am so thankful to have so much help. There is lots more to do so anyone wanting in on some wire action, just let us know :)

The twins working hard. They are even wearing the same sweatshirt!

Of course dad figured out a way to make working more efficient. He built a stand for the wire rolls so it would be easier to unroll it throughout the house and move around. He is always thinking of something!
