Things are progressing around here. Stan’s dad and neighbor arrived yesterday and hit the ground running….they’ve been working tirelessly. They spent the first day finishing the demo (which took quite a while) and today started replacing sheet rock and putting down backboard in preparation for laying tile.

Here’s a photo from this morning. Taking the cabinets down and everything out explains why this kitchen was so dirty! Look at these walls!

The kids and I stayed away as much as possible today to protect Jamey’s lungs. He wanted to be in the middle of the work so badly. He got in the kitchen for a few minutes to give Stan some screws.

It is incredible for Stan to have some great help!
