Sorry it has been FOREVER... I know I have totally slacked on this whole blog, but trust me, I was VERY BUSY!
Let me give you a little insight as to what as happened.
We closed on the house officially on April 14th. We gutted the house that weekend. Four whole floors, GUTTED down to just beams. It was goodbye electric, goodbye plumbing, goodbye windows, insulation, goodbye well EVERYTHING.
I seriously thought we would never live here, I thought we would never get it done. Now remember when you look at the pictures, WE meaning Pat & I did 99.8% of the work. A few friends & family came to help here and there. My brother in law was a life saver with showing Pat how & helping him with the electric. We did hire someone to do all the taping & spackling ( we hung the Sheetrock)
But basically we did it ALL... No contractors, no crew just US.
We are still in the process of doing the siding, painting the new trim, and waiting for Hubby to install the new front door but you get the picture...
We put in more and much larger windows!!Which is what we seem to get the most complements on! |
| Living room /entryway before We removed the closet, tile, rug, well everything all the sheetrock, insulation, electrical, Everything is new (Except the front door, but we are getting to it the one we have is functional so we are ok with it for right now) |

| We had already vaulted the ceilings at this point but you can see the process of the gut. The randomly placed stained glass window is gone too. |

| From the kitchen, I have since made & hung curtains I guess I will have to take more pictures. |
