Well, I think we have cleared the dust and cleaned the first layers of remodeling stuff from the first floor. And we are very happy with the outcome. Above is the dining room.

Here is the entry way. You can see we still have a little touch up to do, but we are pleased.

Bigger dining room…

Backsplash and countertops are the same…

Here is the kitchen floor…

Big kitchen…

Outside stucco…

More…

And in these additions, I am grateful. Still, it is the courts of the Lord that are my home, and I say with David:

I long, yes, I faint with longing
to enter the courts of the Lord.
With my whole being, body and soul,
I will shout joyfully to the living God.

~Psalm 84:2

There is a spiritual longing and hunger that only God can fill. Imagine His courts, filled with His praise. Yes, I want to be there!
