"Do you live in the house that had a fire?"

It has been non-stop pounding and and loud noises here. We all looooove waking up to the sound of electric saws at 7am in the morning ;)

But, progress is happening!! After avoiding the house all day by going to class and studying in libraries/coffee shops we came home today and saw this...

Yep, that's right! We can use our front door again!! And look at the new front porch. Pretty snazzy! It's a lot bigger than before, so we're pretty excited for it!

Oh, and if you didn't notice....

Big black house numbers spray painted onto the house! (with the arrow, of course)

Some more pictures of our stripped down house.

No joke, real story! Today Laura was telling someone where she lived and they said "Do you live in the house that had a fire?" Yeah, our house is that much of an eye-sore. :(

Slowly, but surely, it's coming together. We still don't know what color the siding will be...it will be a surprise (hopefully a pleasant one).

Hopefully no more power outages and turned-off water! (We had a little bit of a freak out session when this happened!)
