We have been plodding along with the house and while the progress isn't exactly lightning fast, we are getting closer to finishing. Actually, getting closer to the point when we can say we are nearing the point of nearly finishing. The kitchen went in without any trouble despite my lack of optimism and looks really good. We lucked out with the kitchen since we bought it online and could only see pictures. It is a showroom model, so it came pretty much assembled and the fake wood grain cabinets actually look convincing. We have waterproofed the tub area of the bathroom and will be dropping the tub in permanently soon. Then we can finally finish installing the sub floor in the rest of the bathroom.
This weekend I will be throwing up some drywall, framing some exterior windows, and working on the roof insulation. I won't have the help of my wife for a few days, since she will be taking care of the 8 new arrivals in our apartment. They arrived between 5:00am and 10:00am this morning and aside from being quite noisy, will require 2-3 days of supervision to make sure they are all doing OK.
