Familiar poses and a bunch of new updates

Surprisingly, even after hearing about what we put Mr. Williams through back in October, Ray offered to come out and help a few weeks back. Of course, we worked him to the bone as well (as evident in the familiar looking photo).

Dad spent his week mostly taping and mudding - not necessarily the most fun tasks but definitely very helpful projects to help us get to our next stage in the addition and the kitchen.

There are a lot of updates since the last round of photos. All the plumbing and electrical is done in the kitchen and the addition. Both are now insulated, drywalled, mudded, sanded, and primed (ta-da!). We purchased the tile for the master bath (although it doesn't seem to photograph well) and Craig is now prepping the shower to begin tiling.

Things are seriously moving, folks. Here are the highlights. You can peruse the entire album here.

Here's our tile. Picking out tile was a very exciting stage. The thought of a finished bathroom is quite unbelievable
