Progress!

The past week and a half has seen noticeable progress for the first time in awhile. Recently, it seems, our projects, while important, have not yielded noticeable results. This past week we put up a wall, a change of pace from taking them down. Our kitchen had a strange little corner that was empty with nothing in it, but too full when a table was placed there. So, we decided to erect a wall to make the kitchen more a galley-style. The little walled off portion (approx. 8 sq. ft.) will eventually be part of a bathroom. For right now it is a little hidden room...anybody need a place to hide?

Our refrigerator currently lives in the middle of the room

Our new cabinets should be in this week. Things should start to look dramatically different soon! Anybody who wants to come and help is welcome, we'll pay you with something grilled! ...since our kitchen is not very conducive to cooking inside.

The construction project may slow down a little though since I (Eric) have found a job! I am working with a brand new ecumenical supported youth center in Beatrice, NE. The 429 Factory will have a gymnasium, game tables, meeting rooms and more!  Our aim is to be up and running by the end of the summer. The space for the center already exists and is almost ready. I am really excited about this new position. My brain has not shut off since I was hired last week...you can ask Hannah.

I have uploaded more photos of the remodel to facebook if you want to see more of what we have been working on!

Peace,

Eric
