I HATE BUGS!!
No, I'm not a girly girl going to scream about an ant crawling across the counter!! TERMITES!! How can such a small bug do so much damage? We took down the old termite infested side wall tonight on the side of the stairs. It came down rather...
More Framing
Now we've got all of the walls up for the new full bath off of the hallway, the closet for the middle bedroom, the master bath and walk in closet in that room AND the main floor laundry/pantry/and 1/2 bath. Still need to finish installing the frames for the...
Hey…Who turned out the lights?
We got the rest of the new bathroom walls and just about all of the new closet up tonight before....you guessed it...the lights went out! Let me just say that a house under construction is NOT the place to be with no lights on! It really was time to quit...
We’ve Got New Walls!
I mean ACTUAL NEW WALLS!! 🙂 Walls that weren't there before!! Actually....now we can call it main floor laundry, mudroom, clutter room and a half bath!! Yeah....well....ok, we still need to add another wall and the pocket doors to complete the...
Dang!!
Well shoot...we totally forgot to get the pocket door frames when we bought the lumber, so I had to run to Home Depot and pick them up today. I stopped and visited with a friend on the way...took Jimmy John's to another friend and had lunch....got a little...
Ahhhh….the smell of fresh cut lumber!
That's the smell when you open the door at the new house now....and that means that change is in the air! 🙂 (that makes me happy!) My work station for the day! This is the kind of work I really enjoy doing! Here's the new master bath/closet view...
Let’s Build Something!
We got our delivery of framing lumber this morning....and the delivery truck got stuck in the yard, lol! Kade had to pull him out with our truck. Gotta love it! We definitely need to expand the driveway turn around/parking area. It's just not...
Planning, Planning, Planning…
That's ALL we've done this week. Cleaned and planned!! Planned, and then planned some more!! Today we went over to RP Lumber and got prices on some stuff that we need...and ordered the lumber so that we can start our framing! YEAH!! It'll...
Invention Please!!
I need someone to invent a super dust sucking vacuum for demolition 🙂 It needs to get all the tiny drywall and plaster particles!! All I did today was clean up piles, pull nails and VACUUM!! It's amazing how long it takes to Vacuum 1750 sq....
NO MORE PLASTER!!!
Well...there is still a little bit more plaster, lol! Geesh, it's like it never goes away!! (and I never want to see any again...EVER!!) Dad, Kade and I worked today on finishing up the plaster removal. (and the zillion nails that held it all to the...
The Beginning of the End
...of destruction that is 🙂 At least I hope it is! Today we started gutting the bedrooms/hallway. Mike & Johnny came over and helped us and we made a pretty big dent in it! We didn't get to the ceilings...they are TERRIBLE. ...
Time for a new dumpster
Well, Kade finally called about getting the dumpster taken away....and bringing it back for us to fill again!!! We definitely underestimated the amount of trash we would have, lol! So the weight limit on that bad boy was 5 tons...and $48 for every ton over...
ONE Major Decision Made
FINALLY! We've decided what the floor plan is going to be. We decided to go ahead and make a true master bedroom and add a second full bath to the main floor. You can click on any of the images below to see it a little big bigger. Here's what we've...
Sunny Sunday
Well, we got more some more done today! Finally we were able to break out the brick wood boxes on the sides of the fireplace in the basement. Yeah baby!! Kade started with a chisel, and I finished with a sledge hammer 🙂 Remember, this is how...

It’s Official!
I . A.M. C.R.A.Z.Y!!!! No, seriously....I'm absolutely, positively, without a doubt, CRAZY!!! Today I picked up the sander... walked in to the clutter room... and sanded the polyurethane off of the cabinet boxes!! I just couldn't take it! I knew I wouldn't be...
For Better or for Worse 🙂
That's how I feel about the clutter room cabinet doors at this point 🙂 Today I put the final coat of paint on them. I need to look back and see exactly when I started working on these cabinets (or maybe I don't, I'm sure what I find would be SUPER...
This and That
Today was one of those days that was just a little bit of everything. First thing I did this morning was run down and check the wash tub that I bought for the laundry sink. water level looked good... don't see anything around the bottom... and NOTHING...
