Here We Go Again

I bet you didn't think I would be back so soon but when I posted my pictures yesterday I realized how much more had been done at the house since those pictures were taken so these were taken today. The kitchen however has only been gutted and is now being used as a catch all room. Not much happening in there. The other pictures show lots of change. I hope you enjoy seeing them.

Update on Remodeling our Fixer-upper

It's been a long time since I've blogged. When we first started working on the house we did a LOT and I mean a LOT of tearing out. That seemed that was all we ever did but it went fast. At some point you have to say, no more tearing out and start rebuilding. Then came to depressing part when all the workers who were suppose to come didn't. Actually, my sister Paula got worried about me at one point. As a matter of fact I was worried about myself there for a time. lol Things got better when we finally got a new carpenter and the plumber, roofer and a/c people came.

There were three bedrooms downstairs. The two small bedrooms were side by side so we removed the wall between them and made a big master bedroom. We took a relatively small closet out to enlarge the small bathroom which is the only bathroom downstairs. I wish I would have gotten pictures of Mr. T tearing down the old brick chimney in the bathroom wall. He did a great job and I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard. We made a small walk in closet,not near as big as I wanted but I wouldn't not give up a window. It will make a really nice reading nook in the bedroom. We closed off one of the doors.







As I post these pictures I realize how much more has been done. I will take pictures tomorrow and post again soon, yeah right!!
