Lots of work on the house the past several weeks. Thanks to family and friends, the progress has been quickly paced so far.

- All the holes in the walls are gone
- We have a new roof
- Termites are all dead (knock on wood -- pun intended)
- Nearly all interior walls are painted
- Hardwood floor is nearly complete
- Garage is done

The place is really rounding in to shape quite nicely. It's beginning to look and feel more like a home that a construction zone. For example, today marked the first time that I thought about handing a picture on a wall. Ultimately, nothing was hung. But mentally it just felt nice to briefly think about it.

Next up on the (long) list to be items to be completed:

- Bedroom carpets
- Side fence
- Kitchen remodel
- Guest bathroom remodel
- Window replacement
- Exterior paint

After all that's done it's not so clear what would be next on the list, but I'm sure there are lots of smaller items.

Here are a few before-and-after pictures. The "after" pictures were taken tonight with no sun and barely any lighting, so please excuse the underexposures.
