First post from the house!

So we're in! Internet is up and this is the first post from the house. It has been crazy so sorry for the lack of updates, but here we go.
To get Zanna's studio space ready we wanted to white wash the walls and ceiling in the basement as well as paint the floor. We rented a paint sprayer because painting the joist cavities by hand would have been a nightmare and taken just too long. We sadly had to use an oil based primer because you can not paint over oil based paints with latex paint. You need to first apply an oil based primer, then you can paint with latex paints in the future. So we opened all the windows, put on our respirators and sprayed away. Again another project we a very happy with. By painting the walls and joist space white it greatly brightens the space. Now were ready to move all our stuff in to our clean storage n studio space.
We hired both a plumber and an electrician to do “ ruff in” electrical and plumbing which means that the water and electrical lines were run and angled out of the walls exactly where they need to be. However, for the past two days I have been doing the finish plumbing and electrical for the first floor bathroom and plugs and switches throughout the house. I have to say that I now have a new appreciation for plumbing. After fighting with a pee trap and the shower trim I am happy to say that we have a full working bathroom and it looks great. We also fired up the hot water heater yesterday and want to report we have running hot water. We're truly ready to move in, but now we have come to the point that we have been dreading for awhile; packing up and moving. I can’t wait to be in but I’m really not looking forward to moving… I hate moving. Check out the pictures.
