Day 17

We had our plumbing inspection today.  More framing got done.  We had some extra insulation from building our chicken coop, so they put that up in the ceiling in the master bedroom for us.  Hopefully it will help cut down on the noise from upstairs.  The drywall got loaded in and there sure is a lot of it.  Got the news yesterday that our windows have come in a couple of weeks early.  They aren't for the basement, we are replacing all of the upstairs windows because the existing ones are so awful.  They are old, rickety aluminum frames, and not double-paned.  They are a single window with a storm window a couple of inches away, so if I want to open them up, I have to open two rickety, wonky windows that don't slide well.  I was gone all day long today, and didn't get a chance to take pictures before it got dark.

I think the worst part of the whole process so far is not having a kitchen sink.  I can deal with the refrigerator and temporary table as a kitchen, and the whole mess that goes along with that, but trying to do dishes in the bathroom sink *really* stinks.  It helps to see visible progress every day though.
