Day 2 of Money Pit

Well, the carpenters have been there 2 days and have accomplished a lot! Here are some images of the progress as of today.




From top to bottom:
My little bathroom mishap - I tried to remove the soap holder and knocked out some tile which cannot be repaired. So, the bathrooms that were waiting are now being done too. Probably a good mishap - they are in pretty bad shape!

The living room walls removed - they were plywood with no Sheetrock behind them. So, they were no more than 1/4 inch thick and back up to the bedrooms . . .

The same nook in the sunroom as photographed in the before pictures (where the little window into the kitchen was)

The fireplace with the bookshelves out and the brick hearth below the bookshelves gone

Standing in the living room looking into the kitchen

The massive pile of kitchen and living room in our garage!

Tomorrow is framing and supporting the load bearing walls that are being removed. I don't know what happens after that, but I'm sure dad will point everyone in the right direction!

More as it happens!

Our Money Pit!!!

From left to right: these mirrors are everywhere - one in every room, 2 in the "master"
Our lovely "master" bedroom with nice windows!
Gorgeously green "master" bath (how appropriate that even my bathroom is "green")
Powder bath with tile on the walls and monkey mural

Fireplace with book shelves and tiny mantle

The paneled kitchen

Welcome home!

I am obviously terrible at keeping up with a blog - mainly because I don't feel like I have anything that interesting to say. But, now with this house we decided to buy I have a lot to say. So, I am going to attempt to keep the blog up to date with the progress we are making at the "new house" as sweet C likes to call it! I don't think I have a picture of the exterior, but that's probably good since this is the internet! Above are some pictures from the day we took possession - before we did a thing! We have a long road ahead of us, and hopefully we will like our house when it's all done - I keep reminding myself it's in a great location . . .
