Oh the addition. Depending upon the hour, I either love it or hate it. For instance, two hours ago I cursed the day we decided to build an addition and just swore off ever, ever, EVER, renovating a house we were currently living in. Dave, in true Dave fashion, gave me his best blank stare but I know what he was thinking..."what will I do for the rest of time then?" Its true, he LOVES building especially when he can enjoy the fruits of his labor. I have always joined in his enthusiasm for around-the-house projects and re-dos. UNTIL NOW. Bad timing on our part to decide to build an addition while having a baby in the house. I know I've said this before, but I tip my hat to single parents. How the hell do you manage? With Dave trying desperately to finish our new master bedroom and bathroom (and live by the saying someone wise once told him "happy wife happy life"), I've been left with all things Grady, domestic, etc. This is exhausting to say the least. Again, kudos to all single parents because if this lasts more than the three-four weeks I've been promised, I will flat out loose it.
However, as I type this (and realize how ungrateful I sound), I remember how much I love the addition. So far we've agreed on almost everything, except the budget. (He is crazy if he thinks I can furnish, and we're talking everything from matress, boxspring, headboard, dresser, night stands, etc., along with a new TV, linens, bathroom decor, etc. for $2,000!) Anyway, I'm doing my best to stay in budget and Dave has only gone over budget by $400. This little beauty put us over but I just had to!
Note to self - I need to find a basket or two for under the new vanity!
If you're paying attention, you now know I've been promised a finish date of 3-4 weeks. Some may think that sounds long. Well, Dave started this in early July so when he tells me 3-4 weeks it sounds like a blip of time and I can barely contain myself! Here's where we are so far...

| Do you love the trim detail as much as I do? Our bed will go up against it. |
 |
| Ha ha, just noticed the old vanity and toilet hanging out in the new master bedroom! Don't judge! |
 |
| Water view from bed = ahhhh |
 |
| Finally getting the shower bench I've been talking about for years |
My fingers are crossed that the next time I blog about the addition, it will be showing pictures of the finished product!
XOXO,
Court
