Awesome Parents
Alisha and I were discussing how nice it is to have parents that are so willing to drop everything for a few days and help out their kids who would otherwise be in way over their heads.
My parents have been down to our place several times in the past year helping us out with aspects of home renovations that I would have never been brave enough to try on my own. But now after a year of doing just about everything possible to a house I feel like I could tackle just about anything that might go wrong. With varying degrees of success… 
Alishas parents have also been down numerous times helping out with said renos, doing amazing painting jobs and being kind enough to let us use their trailer to take load after load to the dump.
We are almost done the renos and by the end of next month will have nothing left to do but the trim and molding, which can be a big job but not something that scares me too much.
We spent the last week doing the electrical for the ensuite and for the stairs… since an entire wall disappeared. It looks so much more open and bright in that part of the house now, its kind of shocking.
Hailee’s mom was here this week and she wanted to see everything that we had done to the house and it was a real eye opener going through all the pictures and videos again. Seeing once again the kind of craziness we lived through the first few weeks we moved in. I am surprised Alisha is still married to me after putting her through that. 
All in all it has been a great experience and I would actually do it again, but not if we have to live in the place we were renovating… that was a little much. Anyway there are a few more pictures added today with what the stairway looks like now and some climbing pictures for a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
