January 29th - They reconstructed the ceiling in the new kitchen area. Allen had the idea to "pop up" the center of the area, so it is around 12" taller and gives it some interest! They put the windows in this area too and made the roof joists over the new bathroom and additional space in the bedroom. Bryan contributed today and pull off some more drywall in the hall and he finished taking down the old mantel yesterday.

January 27

Concrete went in and looks great!! Got some walls up (after we had them move windows a couple times in the kitchen - oops!) and things are getting exciting!!!

Wednesday - January 21st

Well, we got inspection today on the foundation, so we're pouring concrete TOMORROW!

Thursday and Friday - 14th & 15th

Lots going on...the carport (aka new kitchen) got formed and plumbing roughed...new center wall... now the hold up will be the weather (really cold) and plumbing inspection will more than likely be delayed until Tuesday because of Monday's Holiday. Should be warm enough for concrete by then..Hopefully!!!

Monday January 12th

The ceiling came out of the carport today and the cement block columns came out! Plumbing got started today and the drywall separating the living room and dining room and kitchen came down.

Friday - January 9

...Continued working on the foundation form. We FINALLY got approval to fill in the ditch out front. YEAH! It only took almost 3 months! The old side room on the carport was torn down today and they cleaned out the debris from the inside of the house .

Thursday January 8

Lots going on Tuesday and Thursday!!!

Walls came down Tuesday

Here comes equipment!! Dean and Allen brought in the backhoe and carefully maneuvered it into the back yard. Brooke wants to drive it! That's a big fat NO! haha

Renovation - Day 1

Monday - January 5, 2009
What a way to start the New Year!!! Just a couple things left in the house and that is good, because we've already lost part of a wall and the dining room and kitchen have been demolished. We thought we could get away with not cleaning out all of the attic, but we were wrong! So now we're
renting a POD to put all of it in as we have the house across the street filled to capacity!
