Second Story progress… Lots more framing has been done since last week on our second story addition. Check out all my previous updates here.  You can see below, from the front of the house, that the frame is almost complete.  I know, I know! The house looks like such a disaster right now.  Windows boarded up, a pile of sand in the front yard, a dumpster in the driveway.  It looks like…

More framing and stairs too…. Things are moving along very nicely at our house remodel. You can see all my past updates here. I stopped by the House house on Sunday to take some pictures.  Last week I talked about ceilings going in, but this week we have walls (or at least framing for walls)!  And the beginnings of stairs too!  Very, very exciting stuff.  Check it out.  Not the prettiest…

Holy cow…..We have a ceiling! The guys have been working hard this week.  I texted a friend of mine the other day who lives in our new neighborhood.  She drives by our house remodel daily.  I asked her if she saw anyone working at our house that day.  Her response was hilarious.  “Ummmmm, definitely workers at your house.  There is like a 3 story crane in the back yard and cars everywhere….shits getting…

Sick Day… This will be a short update this week.  I am feeling a little under the weather and have been in bed most of the day.  I don’t get sick often but I’ve been running myself ragged and haven’t been sleeping much.  Insomnia is the worst thing ever!  On top of the house updates and this blog, I’ve also signed up to help plan Family Fun Night at our son’s…

Rain, Rain Go Away It has been raining here A LOT.  The weather has held us up on all projects on the House house remodel. As mentioned in last week’s update the steel beam has been set. The guys will be building a temporary support wall to hold up the existing roof over the first floor so what remains of the house won’t cave in. The roof trusses have been delivered and demo has begun on…

I’ve had a busy week.  My Wednesday update this week is almost a Thursday update. Oops.  Better late than never, right?  Check out all my past updates here. The latest happenings at the House house… More progress this week on our house remodel.  The windows places are almost all completely cut out and ready for actual windows!  Yippee!  Here will be our bay window in the front of the house.  Looks terrible now but will…

Hi.  Today is my birthday.   How come I don’t like birthdays like I used to?  Ugh!  Getting older stinks.  Although, I don’t feel ‘old’.  Well, sometimes I do, but overall I feel the same as I did in my 20’s, just with more wrinkles.  HA!  Anyhoooooo, Here is what is going on with the House house this week…. If you missed the last few updates, you can find them all…

More progress on our house remodel! If you missed the last few updates, you can read them here and here. This will be a short work week due to Labor Day, but the guys are crankin’ along. It doesn’t look a whole lot different from last week but we are getting there.  Electrical wiring was installed in these soon-to-be-walls, and the top part of the framing (according to google these are called the double top plates, I…
