Recently Eric decided that we needed to refinance. It is a smart financial move, based on the original loan we got and the amount of sweat equity we've put in, and the future we have ahead of us, but that means that for the last 10 days we have been finishing every project I started or wanted to do in the last 4 years. Everything we did would have taken about 6 months for normal people but we crammed it all in in a week and a half.
How did we do this? Caffeinated soda and candy. We would get kids off to school, Eric would go to work and I would start work around 8am. Taking breaks only to get kids and take them to activities I would work until at least midnight almost every night. Almost, because there were a few nights I was up until 1:30 or 2am.
I feel like I was hit by a truck, I am so physically exhausted. After hiking Crypt (that will be another post) I felt refreshed compared to what I feel now. It will have been worth it after a few nights sleep, and a little time, but right now I just feel tired of my house. OTBS it is really nice to not have projects hanging over my head.

Holy incredible. I'm *SO* impressed! I've missed your blogposts so much! But, I totally understand being too busy to post. But man, your house looks pretty incredible.
Everything looks SO good. It was well on its way before, but the last few touches have really completed it. Wish I could see it in person. I kind of forgot how bad it was before. You have worked HARD. You definetly put your skills to use. Yay, now you can pay more taxes!
So glad you have a blog. And are posting. I miss you guys!
I seriously thought those first few pictures of the outside were of a completely different house! And what you've done with the inside is just incredible. Want to teach me your mad skills when I've got my own house? :)
Love what you've done with your house!
