Nearly 10 months later

At the beginning of the year I posted about the flood we had here

I haven't done much of an update since then. Mostly I didn't feel like there was an actual after picture to show until just recently. We still have MANY many unfinished projects from the flood. And most days I feel like we always will. Some days I'm more optimistic and think we'll be done eventually. Hahaha. Anyway. Ryan just finished putting the new floor into the living room. There are still lots of little things to be done, but it looks amazingly better now!

I had before pictures of all the rooms in the house before we moved in...however a certain beautiful girl of mine deleted them off the camera before they were downloaded. Oh well. Here are some pictures of the living room since the flood.

Right after when EVERYTHING was moved into here and the dinning room. -That was a headache!




This is in April, that was Em's birthday party (yes we have had many parties in our construction zone house, can't put life on hold!)






It's better here, but not much. We were still missing half the ceiling amongst other things :)

Now fast forward to the end of October. In 5 days it will be 10 months since the flood. TEN. We are not done yet. BUT we are MUCH closer and I have a living room. A nice one. With no flood ruined carpet or missing ceilings. Here's how the living room looks now.

RK & Christi,

Thanks guys!
Mom, we have to get rid of the piano. We are looking for a home for it now. It needs to be fixed up and we just can't plus we aren't sure where we'd put one if we did fix it up
