It's been a busy month...

Eric installed our cabinets.

Chloe helped :)

Blake was a HUGE help!

It is really looking Good!

I love the new lights

The kitchen is almost done, we just have
to finish installing and painting trim.

The banisher just needs stain

Here is a view of the kitchen from

1/2 way into the livingroom.

I love this seat. It needs a cushion but it is

a nice place for people to visit.

I am excited about the kitchen.

I love the apron sink.

New Microwave

I love the bookshelf, and the granite

countertops.

Will it ever end?

Well... We painted for Thanksgiving.

We had to cut out the old floor due to water damage.It was soooo Fun!

Ceiling fan installed

I took the old brick off the fireplace... That was a CHORE!

So many things happening....

We have been so busy working on the

House I have not updated yet...

We started on the Trex for the front porch

and the railings.

We got insulation in the additon and garage.


We took the wall down between the additon
and the old house. That was a long awaited exciting day!

Here is the wall GONE!The Drywall was delivered


Installed and the Mudders are mudding
We got the downstairs ready for texture!
We took out the old kitchen
Had some wiring issues to deal with.
Here we are ready for texture!

Early November updates:

The Electrical Inspector came and wanted us to

wire the addition a little differently than

Eric had planned. So Eric got dressed up

in his Rain gear on a very rainy Friday morning.

And they dug a ditch from the Garage to

the house so they could put pipe in

and shoot the electrial wire to power the

additon. He LOVED it! :(

They dug up my expensive and well planned out

gravel driveway.

Here is how the addition attaches to

to the house.

Things are started moving along this week!

End of October updates...

Chloe loves to get into Grandma & Grandpa's Shower...

when her clothes are wet we know where she has been.

Both My girls work at Coffee Stands... On opposite sides of the city.

Amy @ The Coffee Cottage.

Chelsey @ Round up a Latte
Our Halloween Pumpkin.

There are no house updates because one contractor
is sick and the other show's up when he want's to.

Mid October Changes to our house...

Here is our back yard when we bought the house.

We didn't know that rain water

Didn't drain from our yard. It was all clay so it just sat in the

yard and made it all muddy from Oct. to May.

So when we decided to remodel we also decided to

fix the yard so we could plant trees in the back and have a garden.

Here is Bob digging a drainage system for

Our yard. He dug a huge pond in the back

for all the water to drain into.

Here is a picture on our first day of Rain.

The pond is nearly full.

Our drainage system works!

Here is what the back of our house looked like when we bought it.

Here is what it looks like today, although the siding is all the way on.

So we started building the rooms in our basement.
We have changed our family room
and made three rooms. What you see here is what will be the shop
and laundry room. The two white doors open up into our garage.
They replace what was a sliding glass door and a large window.
Here is looking down our hall way with in the basement from one end
of the house to the other. I am standing in the shop and the
opening on the left goes into our new laudry room and
the framing on the right is the wall for a new bedroom.

Here is another picture of our new laundry room.

We will be excited when it is all done!

October house updates

Ok well alot of October has been boring...

Electrical boxes and wires

Plumbing for the new laundry room
Tar papering the outside

Electrical in the garage

But the last week has been much more exciting for Eric and I.

We got a new front door...

And the siding is almost finished...

And I painted most of the front. I will finish today!

We feel like we have a brand new house! We love it.
