Walls!

If you can ignore the demo in the background and all the junk on the porch you can see our little attempt at Christmas lights for our house this year! ( Hey, we tried!)

My paint job in the soon to be office. Just needs a chair rail, floor and crown moulding, and new window moulding! ( Oh yeah and to refinish the floors..... ahhh the list never ends!)

Nate's Jerri rigged plumbing job!

Getting the cement board down on the floor to be able to tile and the green board up on the walls in the bathroom.
What an improvement!

Nate and his great wall work!
We decided to take out the old small window because that is where the vanity is going to be against that wall. Our poor little toilet waiting to be put back against the other wall so we can actually go to the bathroom in our house!!!

Finally a Tub!!

The claw foot tub we salvaged getting ready to be painted and re-finished.
Finally we have a tub! Just have to move it into the bathroom after laying tile. This thing weighs like 300 pounds! I feel like I have had a hard workout at the gym after a day working at the house. I have found muscles I didn't know I even had left!
Nate got the door frame closed in from the kitchen so now we can drywall the bathroom and make it one big room rather than separate laundry and bathroom. We are planning on moving the laundry room downstairs.

The Demolition Continues!!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!! We miss you all!!!

The old wall paper we found under the drywall!

More Demo....
One of the spare bedrooms before....
Spare bedroom AFTER

Turns out it had fake wood panel under the wallpaper so I just pried those off today instead so we can drywall it.
Our dumpster full of crap! I can't believe we filled it so fast!

Nate in the basement looking up into the new bathroom where the big pipe used to be.

House Demolition!!

Living room BEFORE.... (notice the lovely stinky carpet and the previous owners had great taste with the blood red trim paint!!)
Living Room in mid-demolition!! You can kind of see the kitchen now. Trying to make it more open!
