Electrical in our Addition is Finally Done!

All of the electrical finished up this weekend! It was around Easter time when we started. My dad has been such an amazing help, we never could have done any of the work on this house without him! We have been cleaning it up and getting everything organized so when the inspector comes he is not walking through a big construction mess. Were hoping that the inspector will be able to come out tomorrow morning. Even more than that, we are hoping that nothing will need to be fixed and that everything is correctly wired and up to code.

That means the next step is getting insulation up and then drywall! I might actually have drywall up in my addition, at least some of it before the end of the month. How exciting is that! The electrical took way longer than we were hoping, but now that we have (hopefully) gotten past this phase things should move along quickly!

It was 2 years ago (and 2 full pregnancies ago) in August that we decided that we were going to build an addition because we couldn’t find the right house. And at that time our house was too small for the 3 kids we had. Now we have actually been working on the addition for 14 1/2 months…and it has started to get a bit overwhelming.

I can’t even believe that we are going to be putting up actually walls on the addition this month. I don’t think I could be any more happy than I am right now!
