This Weekend's Work

Weekend #2 of our house remodel project--- we put in a lot of hours again this weekend, although a lot of it was finishing demolition work from last weekend and scraping the ceilings, so the changes aren't as dramatic. Since photos speak larger than words, here are a few.

Here is Christina prying out drywall (the floors were installed after the drywall went up so it was a pain in the who-ha to get it out)








The next two pictures show the rotted wood we found in the middle bedroom (office). The roof used to have a leak (20 years ago?). Eric is working on replacing the 2x4's.



Below is a picture of our kitchen "wall" looking into the mud room.

... and at least some of our house is still put together.

Christina does work too, other than taking pictures. Here she is scraping the ceilings in the middle bedroom.

Below shows the ceiling in the living room. The popcorn was painted over (a couple of times?) so it is not so easy to scrape off. This little section probably took 2 hours. It's a good shoulder work out (feel the burn!).

And last but not least, the electrical work has started, and we are excited to see multiple plug-ins in each room, rather than just one or two. Hooray!

And SLOWLY we are getting to landscaping the front yard.... at least it's a start.


Saturday we had a nice visit with Christina's Dad, who came over to wish us a happy one-year anniversary. And a shout out to Jim who fixed our internet :) Thanks, Jim!
