We have an incredible feeling of accomplishment and "holy shit we're never going to finish". Like, literally 50/50 of both of those feelings. It sucks. Plus add lack of sleep thanks to a squirmy hungry 5 month old. Oye.
I ran around the house and took pictures of current conditions before we hopped in the car to head to Menards. Oh! That's why I'm writing to you from the truck! Our master bathroom vanity arrived and we need more boards to finish our mudroom ceiling and all of that is our at Menards in st.joe Missouri. (45 minute drive for us)
Ricks mom went back to Erie, PA a week ago on Tuesday after her three week visit and on Thursday my mom arrived for two weeks to help us take care of Peggy while we work on the house. This weekend is going to be a bit of a nightmare. Ricks dad and step mom are coming for the weekend. So we're juggling their visit, my mom and doing our best not to be assholes to any of them as we explain, "thanks for visiting, great to see you, but we got less than three weeks to finish all of this!" (Insert both of us stretching out our arms to point out the lack of walls in the mudroom, third floor and a master bathroom with nothing in it. Plus all the other little crap we have to do!)
we have a tile guy coming Saturday to start building a custom shower for our master bathroom. So Rick is under pressure to build the box the shower will be housed in. Now that we will soon have our vanity we will be on a mission to finish the master bathroom we have never had in the three plus years of living in the house! Rick is almost done setting up the pex plumbing for the bathroom.
We also had a guy come reinstall our heat and a/c duct work for the second floor. We had to rearrange them to have a big open master bathroom. So! So! Thankful we paid someone to do that! He was the first person we paid to do something on the house. Well with the exception of paying someone to work on our original tile roof that is 3-4 stories high. We said hell no to that last year haha. We could have done the vents but it would have taken us a week probably instead it took this guy two days.
My plan today when we get home is to paint part of our upstairs hallway and then clean up that part of the hallway floor so I can get a coat of polyurethane on the floor. We're putting one last coat of polyurethane on all the floors as we finish each room. Holy crap what a difference it makes! I keep thinking the floors are wet! What shine! And we are using satin finish! I'm also optimistic to get really close to having the sunroom emptied out so we can sand the floors and get that room finished by early next week. Which with the exception of the master bathroom and maybe replacing the floor in the guest bathroom the second floor will be finished! Hot dog!
So, don't mind the mess in the pictures. I really just snapped pictures and hopped into th truck!
Master bedroom. We bought stuff to decorate the fire place to take a picture and then return it haha. Oh staging you're a funny thing. We're buying blinds for the Windows, waiting for paint to dry on the door to the bathroom so we can rehang it and shut the door to hide the wreck the bathroom is for pictures and we have a fancy bed spread besides those few things it's ready for pictures!
Library is done besides final staging things too! (Ps. I hate those ceiling fans, but it isn't worth the head ache to replace them. My dream was to put a set of old fashion (looking) fans that ran with a belt between them!) 
HVAC ducts that have been installed!they run up from the basement through the mudroom. We have to build a closet to hide them. The HVAC has been the thing holding us up moving forward in the mudroom and the master bathroom.
