Week 9: Signed, Sealed, Windowed, I'm Yours

If you believe the old saying "clothes make the man," then the house equivalent would be "windows make the house." From the photo, you can see significant changes this week included the start of shingling on the house, finishing of the roof, and addition of the windows. But to our amazement, those weren't the only changes that took place this week. Two others included the completion of house wrap and a shiny new "sold" sign in the front yard.

Since our house is actually starting to look like a house, we thought it was a good time to do our first rough "walk-through" of the place--a somewhat challenging obstacle since we have no staircases, lights or heat. Given the circumstances however, we decided to take our chances and check out the place for our self.

The kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom are exactly as we had imagined. The big, unexpected surprise of the week was our bathroom. Sure we have no doors, electricity or walls, but hey, we've got a tub--and better yet, it's already installed! We're certain our house is the envy of all the other construction jobs on the block right now, but of course, one can never be too sure.

Here's to having a house that looks like a house and a tub to boot!
