We hustled through it to get to the end of “phase one”. It is such an improvement of the space. We only wish we had more funds to get the rest of it done.

The project started because the “stars were aligned”. We can say they were not that way for long! When a project like this begins… it can never be done fast enough!

Note: the boys were “troopers” through all the people in and out of the house and all the dust. It was a very good thing when the dust settle and they got their bath!
