A Brief Progress Report

I know Batch took some pictures yesterday that he wanted to upload to show everyone, but the internet was done at the Leavengoods last night. Maybe this weekend we'll get some more pictures posted. Here's what's been going on this week:
- Siding: As of last night, the cedar siding was complete along the driveway side of the house and people were stopping by to compliment Batch on how good it looks.
- Electrical: Buddy is back!!! He and Batch have been installing outlets and switches all day and have most of the "back" (really the north side) of the house complete. Batch and I will pick out some light fixtures this evening or tomorrow morning and those will be installed. We hope to be ready for the electrical inspection next week so we can get the A/C turned on and begin acclimating the hardwood flooring.
- Painting: You can basically call this complete. There is some touch up to do and the trim still has to be painted and installed, but it looks awesome! Mom will be here to help next week and I think that will be her project- finish the painting throughout the house.
- Plumbing: We had a little hiccup with the plumbing inspection, but our plumber is on the case and will hopefully have this worked out early next week.
- Cabinets: The rest of the cabinets arrived yesterday in a HUGE Bertch truck. I've taken a tiny peak and they are beautiful. If we get the electricity turned on, we might be able to begin installing the next week!

Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers and support. We continued to be amazed by God's provision for us.

Holly, and Batch!! I can't tell you how happy I am to read that there is so much progress being made and that you will soon have your own space to live in. God is so good! I can't wait to see it in person! We're trying to work out getting down there for the 4th!
