Construction Update

I feel like we've had so much progess in the last week; yet I haven't updated any of the photos.

Back on May 26th the original wall came down.

Yep, now everything was gone, except for the sink.

Then more work was done on the exterior. Old siding was removed,
(side note- the window on the left is the bathroom. The day they were pulling off siding they replaced the window too- unbeknowest to me! I was in there getting ready for work and all of a sudden the window is pulled off and I'm nearly face to face with a random const. worker...awkward! Luckily I had some clothes on by then)

New siding was put on. How about that yellow?


And here's dad with his steady side-kick, patching the old air vent so debris didn't get down there while the tile was being removed.
(Side note- in the above photo, you can see a little tile gone- well getting the tile up, was quite the process. I swear it took a week of ear plugs & hard jack-hammering to get it up. Good job on my dad's orginal job laying it, but the workers said it took the prize for the hardest to get up they've ever done. )
This phase of construction drove my mom nuts! So much dust/debris everywhere. We tried to put a tarp up to separate the kitchen from the living room - but it was still messy.
We've grilled a few times and done some crockpot meals, but it's hard to have real meals with no kitchen. Atleast we still had a sink to wash dishes at this point.
