Before we get into the house update, let's talk for a minute about the apartment living. Not only are Dave and I sharing a 700 sq. foot apartment with a dog and a snake..I discovered mouse droppings yesterday afternoon when I decided to start some laundry! Now, normally I'd be on the phone in a split second with the leasing office, but due to our decision to 'hide' the fact that we have a dog, we are on our own to deal with these things (I guess this is our payment for saving the $600 dog deposit fee). Not only did I find droppings on the floor in the laundry room, but I found them on our counter this morning (and I know that I wiped off all counters yesterday)! My husband being the clever man he is, offered to allow Merlin, our pet boa, loose in the apartment to be our 'mouse trap', but I think I'll opt for keeping her in the cage and buying the traps to catch the rodent(s). So, we are sitting at 7 weeks left in this place and then we're on to the house!
We drove out Sunday morning to see the house progress and boy, they got a ton done this past week! Almost the entire outside is done, just a small amount of siding left and about half the brick work to finish up. On the inside, the entire place was drywalled! The pictures tell the story, so here it is. (We are only making one trip a week out there now - on the weekends so we can get the key and go in...for those of you that were used to the twice a week update with pictures). Enjoy!!

you were busy this weekend! The game sounds like fun and the house is looking fabulous! Ew on the mouse. Maybe the snake plan isn't a bad one? But I sure wouldn't be around while it was out...
I agree! Let the snake take care of that problem...Gulp! If i was a mouse i would much rather the all natural way to go rather than a mouse trap. Finally they got rid of that blue on your house. I was getting a little worried.
