Progress in the Hizzouse!
This past weekend, Grandpa Ken and Jason came to help us frame up some walls in the house so that we could get a little jump start on the heavy duty renovations of the house. We've made some serious progress and we're now to the stage where we're having to hire people to do the work because it's more advanced than our skill level. Take a look! It's not much yet, but just you wait. This house is going to be awesome.
These walls represent the new location of the guest bathroom. The platform is for our clawfoot tub (we're currently shopping for one).
Jason framed in a closet for all of Frankie's stuff. The old closet space is being converted into part of the master bathroom.
Frankie is a 'fan' of his new room. Haha.
We found another fireplace framed into the wall. We're going to put sledgehammer to brick and remove it to add extra space to the master bathroom/closet. We figure we've already got four fireplaces; do we really need the fifth? Good luck with that one, Juston.
We knocked out a wall at the back. Our kitchen is going to be HUGE.
Jason found this perfectly preserved mouse carcass in the wall of the laundry room. I think we're going to put it in a shadow box frame and hang it in the gallery-style five foot wide hallway.
After all of that hard work, Grandpa took us to Ted's Montana Grill for Bison steaks! Rock on, meat lovers.

I can't believe the mouse skeleton. It looks big! Good luck with the rest of the house!
Been waiting for some house pics- love it.
When we 'stole' a closet from the girls' room in the previous incarnation of our house, we built in some bookshelves and a window seat along with framing out the new closet too- built-ins can be great- just an idea.
I'm with Brenna- Are you sure that wasn't a rat?? :-)
There's already one built-in in the formal dining room, which we plan to use as a family room since our kitchen will now be large enough to accommodate our table. We probably won't add in any more at this point, mainly because there's not really a good spot to put one!
And the skeleton is actually really small. We'll keep it, so anyone who wants can see it and size it up. It's kind of morbid and fascinating at the same time.
I can't wait to see your house in person. That mouse is gross, I wonder how long it has been there? Keep the pictures coming (of the house, not the mouse.)
