We have a new office!

Well, our office project is nearly complete. We still have a little bit of finish work to do and a heat pump to be installed, but Amanda is now doing all of her work in the new office.

The building started out looking like this:

And now it looks like this:

I haven't kept up on the blog, because we've been focusing everything on getting this done. It's been a huge learning experience for me. Amanda says she'll never ask for another project like this again. And I'm pretty sure my father-in-law wishes he hadn't retired! :-)

Overall though, this has been an awesome summer and all of the hard work has finally paid off. I'm hoping that, with this project pretty much behind us now, we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming and life will return to normal again.

One of the best parts of this whole thing, is that Jamey finally gets his own room. Until Amanda was able to move into the new space, Jamey had been stuck in about a 6'x10' room with no closet. Now he has a much larger room with space for all of his toys (which gets them out of our living room) and a closet. He loves it!

I have taken over his old room as my office/hobby room, which should be plenty of space for now.

We had moved everything out of the building and into our house (and my in-law's garage) prior to the renovation. Now that we each have our own spaces again, we can all get our things organized and not be tip-toeing around each other anymore. We finally have our house back! :-)

I'm hoping to be able to keep up on this a little more often now that the project is complete. Jamey has come so far, and there are so many things that I really should have been writing about but just never took the time. And the business continues to amaze me with how well it's doing (thanks to all of Amanda's hard work). Life certainly has changed around here. And it's definitely for the better!
