I'm back!

From here, until the end, I promise at least weekly blog updates! Although, I don't know that I have any followers on here, I have been told by lots of people that they enjoy watching the progress on Facebook. I also want this documentation for ourselves, a little journal of our journey. So, I'm back...for the rest of the my life...because that is how long it feels like it is going to be before this project is finished!

First the before pictures:

The front - can't wait to get rid of that overhang!

The side. Tyvek has been up longer than I want to admit.

The back. Again, Faded Tyvek, and peeling paint. It's a good look, but I am excited to see it gone!
 

The List of renovations happening to the outside:

 

Remove the deck

Progress

All gone. It really emphasizes the beauty of the back! Our neighbors have been so patient!



 

Remove concrete from the back wall of the basement to allow for full size windows. A requirement for us to finish the basement!

 

Going

Going

Gone...

Now that's a daylight basement!

 

Replace sheathing and windows. It has been done only on the back of the house at this point. I will keep you in suspense for some pictures. Just know that I lived for way to long without windows in the back of my house. Ever wanted to know what it was like to live in a cave? I could tell you!

 

 

Last we will put vinyl siding on the whole house. That will complete the outside. There has also been some progress made to the inside of the house and we have bought everything we need. Our garage is filled to the brim with our new cupboards (some are being replaced, more on that later) new hardwood floor, new appliances, sinks, etc....It is so hard to see them, everyday, and not have them in here. Especially as I wash dishes (our dishwasher broke months ago) and I have a brand spankin' new one in the garage! I will show pictures of our inside progress and give you a sneak peek at what we chose for our kitchen and bath! I promise the next post will be very soon, not months from now!
