Our first project complete!!!

Our bathroom is now DONE!!! (albiet, the toilet doesn't flush without leaking...). These poor guys. We've had some Polish workers here for the past 3 weeks working 10 hour-days trying to get this done before they head back to Poland for Christmas. They've been excellent, but today, as they were finishing up, they ran into one minor detail. When they flushed the toilet, it leaked a tad in the back!!! You can imagine how frustrated they were, minutes away from jumping in the car back to their family and homeland and then stuck. Because they were pressured for time, we decided it'd be okay to have some "other guys" come look at it on Saturday. So, although our bathroom is done, it's not quiet usable until after that minor problem is fixed :-) But, doesn't it look nice?! It's been a pretty interesting experience, especially for me since Chris has been in India for the past week. I've been running around to stores I never knew existed trying to find parts for them I never knew existed (with three kids in tow...). But, now it's done and we're happy.
Before (tiny bathroom, plus small room next door)

During (big open space!)

After...YEA!!!

Mary, YOUR skills are impressing!! Wow, jag vill se mer bilder. Smart att använda lilla vrån till badrum! Har ni bommat igen den gamla dörren till toan?
Jag tror att jag får komma snart och se för mig själv. Jättesnyggt!

Fantastiskt fint! Verkligen smart att slå ut väggen. Är det rummet som Emmy skulle ha?

Mary! That is AMAZING! I'm impressed you went out to the stores to get the parts for them with all three of your kids in tow. :)

So, I heard a bit about the kitchen ceiling on your floor???
