Construction Junction, What's your function?

As you may or may not know, we are currently in the middle of a major construction project at the McConkie household and have been since we moved in. I'm talking adding-on-a-second floor, knock-down-a-wall-or-two, drywall-dust-everywhere kinda thing. My definition of a clean house lately has been making sure the blue tape holding the plastic to the wall stays put. But, I am starting to think the worst is over and I finally have heart enough to take pictures.

So, I proudly present a medley of artistic construction remnants that still permeate our abode:

Exhibit #1: Dry wall on front porch (our neighbors must love us)


Exhibit #2: Inspection stickers on unfinished Master bedroom window


Exhibit #3: Bathroom Vanity in the living room for last 2 months, half-hung sheet trying to protect rare books, dust mask on vase (prounounced vaz), vaccum out (we currently have .5 closets in our entire house) and various other clutter that is temporarily homeless


Exhibit #4: Our pretty new piano (Hurray!) Getting a piano all happened so fast--Matt made a really low offer on a craigslist special and the guy was moving in a week and the rest is history. Can you believe we brought a new baby into this mess?
