Sidetrack, and the work goes on...

This is about where we are at with the apartment! Cutting cement is hard work! All my kitchen knives are ruined! j/k :)
Praise the Lord for willing hearts from our church that have helped. (The whole church came over one Saturday and did a good bit of work on framing windows and cutting more cement. PTL!) Daddy scored bonus points by making dominoes with the left over wood blocks
Plans have changed and a week or so ago we moved into a couple of the used-to-be offices. It feels like one of those one room cabins...but with two rooms. Truth be told, we really like it! But, it did indeed cause us to put the real apartment on hold and do a few things to prepare this space to be livable. First off, a shower in one of the bathrooms, oops, shower was too big, gotta cut through the metal/cement door frame...
There we go, now it's in and framed, and built up to allow for plumbing.
And Jeffrey drywall, mudded, and painted it.
Dirty, but installed! Yeah!
And now to put the door back on.
Ah plumbing...this cute little nob turns off the water to the whole school, it was installed in 1962. It quit working. :( Thankfully the next day the guys realized why and were able to fix it.
Here is our temporary apartment. You can see the progress that has been made in the next few pictures. This room is our bedrooms/kitchen.
I even got cabinets and a (cool water) sink! :)
Room #2 has our desk, dining area, chair, and toys.
What a sport. (pardon the pun)
It's coming together...
I keep putting off posting this so we can hang pictures empty the last boxes and get it looking nice, but as anyone who has ever moved knows, that just about never happens, so you'll just have to use your imaginations, and someday we'll show you the finished (temporary) apartment. :)
