Construction, struction, what's your function? Part 1.

Here are some before and after photos of our house project. Its hard to believe it has taken 20 months, in that time we have potty trained two kids, and had a third child. We are not done, but the bulk of it is. Ill caption the photos with good descriptions so you get a feel for what has taken place.

Ill divvy them up into separate posts so they are not too photo heavy.
