Before Our House was a House

This is house house before it was a house. It use to be a daycare. It had one bedroom with no closet (boys room), two bathrooms one with the laundry area in it (what we are converting into our master closet), then the main living space, living room, dining room, and kitchen.

So we have completed nearly all the construction. We've built walls, textured walls, painted walls and baseboards. We've built custom closets, a custom laundry room, and water heater cubby hole. We've built a hall closet to store board games, outside toys and miscellaneous bathroom supplies.

We still need to install our master bedroom door, put up all the baseboard and trim, move out A/C into a permanent hole in the wall, put in a backdoor since we removed the old one so the boys could have a closet. We still have to paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and some of the kitchen walls. We still need to finish unpacking our office supplies and homeschooling materials and build a pantry and patio. We need a coat rack and towel rack in the bathroom and some closet doors. We need new ceiling fans and lighting in some areas of the house.

But you know what? I'm so proud of what we have accomplished in just 3 weeks of being in Oklahoma! It's been just the hubby and I mostly working on the house. I've done all the painting in the WHOLE house. I've help hang drywall, tape it and texture it. I have unpacked and unpacked and organized for days now! If I had to be responsible for watching the boys and cooking meals it would have taken much longer but luckily my sister in law took a break from her house remodel and took on those responsibilities.

Our house is starting to look like a home again and I can't wait to show you updated photos soon. Of course I want to get a few more things accomplished before I take after photos.

But I will say this...painting is not something I will be completing for at least a month! I have used muscles in my hands I didn't even no existed with all the painting I did!
