Willow remodel progress, Mom is moving in!!
Gallatin remodel project finishes this week 🙂
It’s hard to believe we’re still in Gallatin. Old man winter is beginning to blow in. Lows in the low 40s highs in the low 60s, very windy today. I see it’s still over 100 in Phoenix. I guess it’s about time to head home. Focus, hard work and help from family and friends has the house is ready to move Mom in today. Most things are completed or will be complete before we head for Phoenix this Saturday. The rest of the week will be spent storing construction materials and returning numerous tools loaded to us for the construction as well as saying our goodbyes after being here over 3 months.
Aunt Nancy & Uncle Mel (center) came in to town as the kitchen became operational. We prepared our first meal in the new kitchen with them. Photo at aunt Sara’s(left).
Here’s some photos of the inside. The outside is still too cluttered with construction materials. I will get some photos of everything as we leave later this week.
View from the living room. No sooner than completing window casing and baseboard in comes the furniture.
Neely starts the tour in the living room
We moved into our bedroom 4 days ago. Still painting trim. Frankie loves her bathroom window that looks out on the bird feeders
Lots of light even in the shower. Neely watching the squires
All new hardwood floors. My knee pads have been getting a workout. Neely the tour guide.
Just finished window casing above the sink. Frankie always right behind me with paint.
Chautauqua fall festival parade. Great car show, flea market and bands on the square. Nice little break.
Cousin JD and partner Lisa. Lisa found this great sunflower field.
What a cute couple. We took a ton of great photos.
It’s been a great summer. One more Gallatin blog as we leave.. See all our Arizona friends soon. We should be back in Phoenix Sunday or Monday. Hope weather breaks as we arrive.

You guys rock! What an amazing transformation!!! I agree, it’s like watching a 3-month episode of HGTV…I am sure you feel so glad to have competed this renovation, a little sad at leaving now that you’re done, but probably anxious to get home, all at the same time. We’ll their loss is our gain! We’ve missed you all summer and can’t wait to see you in Cholla. Safe travels, amigos… 😆

You guy’s are incredible! Hats off to you, your mom is a lucky lady and she must be thrilled. The house looks beautiful and very professionally done. You guys have sick skills but after seeing Lowell’s bar in Mexico we all knew that. Les and Vic say have a safe and fun drive home and can’t wait to visit again with all the Cholla friends.
