The Week of S's

The garage

Dining room and front entry

The great room and nook. The height of the ceiling is really deceptive. We think the ladder looks tall and the ceilings look short in the picture. Just to give you an idea, the ladder is an 8' ladder. The room feels a lot taller in person.

The office (with 11' ceilings)

More great room with the double vaulted ceiling.

Putting sheetrock around the curved staircase has proved to be quite a challenge.

Another picture of the curved staircase from the hallway leading to the great room and kitchen.

Travis had Monday and Tuesday off of work, and was able to get a lot more Siding done. We are now working on the front of the house. There's a lot more rock on the front of the house, so it should go a lot quicker than the back. It is also going to go quicker because we will be able to work from the ground again.

We went out to see the progress on the Sheetrock after work today. As you can tell by the pictures above, they are getting close to being done. They think they will be all finished up by Friday night!

Our plumber continues to work at his slow pace, but we now have the Shower valves installed in the master bathroom.

The weather in Helena warmed up the past couple of days (it was 50 degrees when I left for work this morning), so all the snow was melting. So, of course, our driveway is just muddy Slop. Mocha stepped out of the car and wasn't happy because she was getting all this slop clumped in her paws. We all made it inside without sinking to far in to the mud and we were talking to the sheetrockers when we looked over and Mocha was taking a S*!* in the kitchen. She must still think this is a construction site and she can go anywhere, but she's gonna learn differently real quick if she keeps that up:)

Overall the progress is going good and Travis and I both have the weekend off, so hopefully we get a lot done this weekend.
