here truly begins the saga of the house that John built. well, he isn't building it himself, but he sure is attached to it. that is why for the duration of construction I have been forbidden to share any form of design/drawing/sketch of what is to come. the creator wants it to unfold piece by piece before your eyes. (I know I know - don't ask, believe me I have begged. let's all just think of it like this. say you have chosen a name for an unborn child. say that name is Rumplestiltskin, a little unorthodox. it is a name you are not sure people will receive well, but you're sure it is THE name your child should be known by. do you share it any way? ponder that...) ahem, so moving on.
exactly one week and three days ago a group of clean cut strapping young men walked into my now abandoned home. with in minutes all hell broke loose and so did many walls. now one week and three days later a little more than sheet rock has gone missing...
notice anything different?
this is the problem area that got me into this mess. after several years of carrying on about why I deserved a new kitchen; (he did promise me a brand new kitchen within the year we moved in, Ha! I should have seen this coming.) it didn't take much to go from this -
to this. dinner anyone? I didn't think so... John and I (mostly John) have spent many nights shoveling "crap" (for lack of a better term) and doing our part to make a tight schedule tighter. after suffering one big delay - rain on the day they were to take down the roof - today came another - the framers didn't make it to begin drying it back in. oh well, I figure if I live by Murphy's law every other day of the week I can't complain!
I do however like the lovely new "view" from my entry way don't you? I'll try not to let this project over run my blog by keeping these updates a weekly issue. in this case one week and three days had many phases - most of our pictures however are in digital no where land so this happens to be the very latest.
I only ask one favor of each of you, please pray for no rain.....

Wow! Looks a little different than the last time I saw it. Congrats on it all starting, can't wait to see it when we come home to visit. Good luck with everything, you're doing great. Can't wait to see the finished pictures. Love the updates, keep 'em coming. Take care.
It looks amazing! How are the girls reacting? I can't wait to see the progress, so please post often! Maybe I'll see you soon????
oh my gosh, I want to crawl under the bed for you. Seriously I could not do this. You astound me!
I totally get the name analogy - after all you and KT have stolen a few of the names I wanted to name my unborn children. :) Matt is actually dying to know what that plans are - its an architect thing, I am sure he can understand himself John's reasons. No, but seriously - WOW! Matt & I are always happy to come and help dig "crap" or watch cute nieces while you guys do. :) Love you and know I am here to help!
Well, there's no turning back now! I love the play-by-play...keep it coming.
Holy guacamole! All I can say is that from these pictures - anything you do to it will look better! Hahaha! Love you guys.
