Took a little vaca to Cali. With the cousins at Magic Mountain...lots of fun but so crowded we got on 4 rides in 8 hours!
Well the drywallers came and started yesterday so its looking like actual rooms!
Dont those canned lights look good reflecting off the hall walls...good call Uncle Don :o)
Even more drywall...in the master bedroom looking towards the walk in closet. 
The boys...Chris, Trav, Heath and Broccoli taking a lunch break under one of the big trees.
The plumbers came and replaced pipes, moved pipes and installed our new shower.
Where the fernace is now...out in the laundry room which will be much quieter.
The spray foam insulation was put in on Monday, its a hard foam that seals the walls so mice, spiders etc cant get in. Kitchen View.
Smaller bathroom with foam insulation. We also realized that the tub was cast iron so we are keeping it, tile the walls and have the tub refinished and it will be like new!
The foam in the front bedroom, the new pipes for the large bedroom and some fiberglass insulation for some sound proofing.
Uncle Don came and rewired the entire house, put up canned lights and worked so hard. He had some great suggestions on the layout of the house, lights, outlets etc. Uncle Don is the shiznit and we cant thank him enough...we can sleep well at night knowing it was done by a professional.
The newly wired electrical panel nicely labeled.
The new walls with the new electrical wires from Uncle Don and Heath.
We had the furnace taken out and cleaned and we also moved it by many suggestions to the laundry room.
The hole left where the fernace used to be...now its extra room for the bathroom...good idea Ron...or as I call him the Roninator! 
Tore out some drywall to do new electrical wiring and frame the new closet and look at the great insulation I found...packing peanuts and if you look near the top of the wall you can see formed foam like what comes in boxes of electronics...nice!
Ripping out the ceiling in the laundry room, it was once again nasty.
The dried up petrified mouse literally stuck to the ceiling proves that!
Ripped out the old bathroom floor and found some nice dryrot around the toilet.
Replacing floor joists in the other bathroom from dryrot.
Look at the wall I took down today!
Oh all the nails to remove...I think someone is coming in at night and putting more in, they always seem to pop up!
The new wall for the large bathroom and back bedroom, wall just to the left will be torn down.
Barb shop vacing...thanks Barb!
Heath framing away...the new bathroom closet.
We are getting there...now time to rip out the nails in all the walls and ceilings, vacuum all the beams and remove the old wiring.
Took out the old framing of the bathroom door and bedroom and bathroom closets.
Taking out the toilet in the rental...awesome shoes!!!
Replacing the trusses in the ceiling.
New bedroom wall up...the old wall coming down.
Ripping out the old bathroom floors... the old tub and toilet are already gone.
Ripping down the ceilings in the addition and we found lots of treats from all the mice that had lived up in the insulation...luckely the insulation and the mice are gone.
All the insulation ripped out.
Even more insulation...I dont think its supposed to be that color or deteriorating!
No its not a war zone...just a remodel!
Heath's parents came over to help on the house...it was such a help. 
Jean worked on the rental...it needed some serious weeding and pruning over there, its looking alot better and will be ready for renters in no time!
We decided to take the 4th off and get some good lake time in, it was 100 in E-burg on Friday and the 80's over on the west side was great. It was much needed! Did some swimming and tubing with the girls, Heather and Doug, had BBQ with the fam, Amber and Jaylynn came up for a swim and Jaylynn has no fear of water jumping right off the dock.
Went over to Trav's and Crystals for a great fireworks show...their neighboorhood puts on a heck of a show and you can see all the boys (of all ages) playing with the fireworks, lighting off the fireworks in a bucket of water was a big hit and quite entertaining.
The fireworks show right above us, we literally had to brush off all the pieces from the blown up fireworks...good times! 
Ripping down the pressed board ceiling there was nasty insulation and so much more!
Heath got his technique down...the wheelbarrow under the deconstruction was a great idea.
The "insulation" had 2 types of insulation, styrofoam popcorn and kitty litter...nice!
There were many friends living above the back bathroom...they left all their treats for us to pick up...AKA mouse poop.
We are being good and wearing resporators and you can see how much they collect...that disc was white when he began...once again nasty!
