Yep, you read that right, we have DRYWALL!! We had something hold us up for a few weeks, which is always so hard and frustrating. But now? Well now the drywall is up and it is really taking shape!! I love when you can walk in the home and totally tell what it is going to look like. Ready for a look? Welcome home! If you’re planning some DIY projects in your home, make sure you have the right tools for each job for example, drywall is suitable for a collated screwdriver.
When you walk in now you can walk around without falling in a hole! All plumbing and electrical is finished! I’m surprised at just how quickly this got completed, as I thought it would take a lot longer. It must be because we looked for the best plumbers in the area to do it for us, and they were that good, that we’ll be using them for any future emergency problems that we may have, (but hopefully we won’t). Now that both the plumbing and electrical work has been finalized, a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
To the very left of this photo is where the amazing pantry will be, then the door opening is where the laundry room and garage will be. The opening to the far right goes down to the freaking incredible master bedroom! I am so grateful that this worked out. Everything looks amazing! The drywall looks amazing, and I am really thankful that everything worked out right the first time. The last thing we wanted was to have something go wrong and need to get the drywall repair contractors to fix it again, so it’s a big relief that it all came out like this!
And the master bathroom:
One thing in this home that I just cannot wait to see finished is the main living area. The outside is beautiful, and we are hoping to have the living area feel continued in to the outside. here is the area from both views:
The guest bath and bedrooms on the other side of the home are coming along beautifully as well. There are three other bedrooms on this side of the house, and we’ve got big plans to add fun touches to each of them! Here is what you will see when standing in the living area looking over to the bedrooms {and the front door is down that hall to the right}:

Needless to say, there is much more to be done..BUT we are making so much progress!! I just took these photos yesterday, so I can’t wait till I get over there next week and see what else has taken place.
One of our friends from Germany has just had some similar home improvement work completed too. She reached out to Kubau-Kiel and was really happy with the work they did. It’s helpful to have recommendations for contractors from friends as that way, you’re both able to find someone you can trust.
I hope you are enjoying going through this whole process with us! It has been so fun to keep you updated in real time:) Love you! Happy Friday.
Oh yes, I can see it too! It’s starting to get there and it’s looking good.
