One Handy Dad + a One Week Visit = Lots of Progress

I haven't posted lately because I have been insanely busy with school work and my parents came for a nice long visit, which is always awesome because I get to hang out with my parents all week AND my Dad is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to house updating (and I don't mean decorating).  In just a week we've been able to check off some improvements we've been wanting to make to our home and even some that we had no idea needed work.  Here's the list:

• Install a vent in our mildew infested bathroom
• Run new wire down to the switch so we can FINALLY have an outlet in the bathroom (that isn't in the light)
• Rip out old insulation in the attic where the birds were invading
• Add screening to keep the birds from coming back in
• Lay down new insulation
• Cover the flooring where the new insulation is with plywood so we can have storage there
• Run duct the work up to the attic so we can have heating and air
• Add to the previous electrical work 
• Fix two spliced wires which were fire hazards! Thanks for not catching that Mr. Inspector...NOT! I am seriously BLESSED to have a Dad who knows so much, my house could have EASILY burnt down! 

I am so glad those are ALL checked off the list! My Dad, Husband, and Brother have been working hard all week! Oh yeah, and on top of all of this work, my Mom and Dad taught me how to sew! Yes, my Dad was even able to help me learn to sew.  Pretty crazy, right?  Do you know what that means?  I've started some progress on our bedroom! Okay, I've only made one pillowcase, but that's a big step since I have been busy with school work and I just learned how to sew.  This has been one productive week!  I'll be back to share soon once I add the finishing touches to my pillowcase and I'll even share some pictures of the progress on the attic!
