Spackling is annoying...


Let's start off with an update on insulation! Two weeks ago
we had our whole house insulated in a day. Now I have
 nifty lookin' holes throughout each room. 
Again, it seems like this is delaying the process of moving forward but
having this done has allowed us to move on with our current bedroom project.
So even though we came home after work to a house covered in a nice layer of 
dust we are still happy and thankful to be moving forward!!




"...be strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 
and joyfully giving thanks to the Father...   Colossians 1:11
The nifty holes...



Here is some updated work of spackling done by Dustin himself.
Our bedroom has been difficult due to the many corners and angles.
You have to be very patient and careful if you want the job done right.
Even though he is beginning to hate this part, he has been doing an amazing job!






the project with no problem at all. (Sorry for the butt shot James...)



Moving on to the master bath....
"The Van Gogh Walls"
My bathroom walls remind me of Van Gogh's painting, "Starry Night".
As much as I enjoy looking at that painting of the swirly skies, 
I'd rather not have to look at it in my bathroom.
So.... I am so excited because we are starting
to put primer on these walls!! 
NO MORE BLUE SWIRLS!
Stirring up some trouble

Jen, with the beginning stages of a head cold,
 graciously helped me put the first coat of 
primer on. She is a trooper for doing so in her condition!
 And I am a horrible sister for giving her that job.

    It's great to see you helping each other...Jen and James would know how valuable some extra hands are. Spackling may be annoying, but bumpy walls and seams are worse. Great job!


  2. Families chipping in, helping in many ways, willing to do whatever...we are so blessed in this area of life. Your pictures of all of you working together on your home brought joy to my heart. Not to mention your sweet sense of humor in the midst of it. I find myself sitting here smiling as I read. I cannot wait to see your home someday, knowing all that you have gone through. It will be worth it all, although I will be sad not seeing progress pictures.
