It's been a few days since my last post.  Nam and Pa Moon made it and the transformation has began.  Rog got the popcorn ceiling off before Pa arrived, and they have been patching and sanding the ceiling.  They started closing in a wall space so we can access backyard from house.  The first shutter was made today so hope to finish and get them up tomorrow and will have pics.  Had a minor set back today with septic problems, but Rog and Rog fixed it up.  Have a cabinet guy coming by tomorrow to give us an estimate.. and finally had new appliances delivered yesterday.  They are still in boxes in garage until the kitchen is done.  Will post again soon....
