Renovation

Here is a video of our newly remodeled house. We will both be glad when the renovating is done. Sorry this is just a quick look. I am certainly no videophotographer. It would have been nice to have someone sexy to do the narrating also.

Back Online

We are finally back online. We had our internet hooked back up last week but then a cable went bad. They fixed it today. I took Clayton to play at the park on Monday. He had a big time. He squealed each time he went down the slide. His most favorite thing to do was play in the dirt and rocks though. He is definately all boy. Our renovation is about 3/4 done. We have trim left to do and we need to hook up our new gas stove. We are not going to rush on the trim. We have mess in the garage before he can even get to it. I'll try to post a video later of the remodel.

Renovation & Taylor

The sheetrockers came today and finished up. They textured the ceiling in the new rooms and bathroom. I need to wait at least 2 days and then I can start painting. This weekend when I get these 2 rooms painted we can start laying our floors. Yeh! I was ready this weekend for this to be done. I do not like living in chaos. I would like to redo the kitchen someday, but I'll have to forget about this renovation first.

Taylor was wonderful to watch. She put on a good show. I hope the girls enjoyed it. They seems somewhat speechless. I enjoyed it. She came into the audience pretty close to our section. She likes to flip her hair around. And she had about 5 or 6 outfit changes. Kelly Pickler and Gloriana were her opening acts. In these pictures the guy in the blue is her bodyguard. He looked very stressed.

Phase 2 & 3

The header is up and the door filled in the new dining room. We are really pleased with our carpenter. Now we need to find someone to respray the ceilings after they are all patched.

Renovation: Phase 1 & 2

We are renovating our living and dining areas. Yesterday, Greg tore sheet rock off the wall in between the living and dining rooms. He also pulled up all the carpet in these rooms and the hallway.




We have a small room off the garage. We will be changing this to the dining room. You can see in the picture he changed that wall and made the opening bigger. This room now has 2 doors in it to the garage. Wasted space. We are filling in one of the doors to make more wall space and better insulate the room.



Today he and dad worked on electrical stuff. I am so glad I had to work. Tomorrow he is going to (rain permitting) sheetrock the new and improved wall leading to the 'new' dining room. The wall in between the living in dining rooms is load bearing. Monday we have a guy coming to help us with that. Will post more pictures soon.
