Under Construction- Week 5

We will finish this house.. We will finish this house...

Five weeks? That can't be right. It must have been longer than that since we started this whole process...

Things are progressing more steadily now than it seemed they were at the beginning. But, the demands of a move before Christmas are taking a toll.. on Michael. He loves everything about the construction process. It is by far his favorite thing to do. Unfortunately, working a full time job, spending every spare second working on your house, and listening to your wife pester you about when it will be finished.. is just no fun!

Michael is, of course, taking it all in stride! He doesn't complain, he doesn't get stressed, and he doesn't even dread working on the house. He is amazing. You would think I was the one doing all of the work. I complain, I tell him I miss him, and I beg for it to be over with in a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, that isn't likely.

What we have accomplished in week 5:

• We have plumbing
• We have electrical wiring
• We have windows (all but 4)
• Our roof is COMPLETE
• The back patio is covered
• Our exterior doors are ordered
• Stairs are in
• We have bathtubs

I am more than satisfied with the progress made in week 5. I know things are moving more swiftly than we could have ever dreamed. Unfortunately, patience is a virtue. I am working on it. I have said it a million times, but I couldn't be more thankful for my hard working husband!
