Everything is Closing In
The old saying “you don’t know what you have until its gone” also goes for house renovations. Its been MONTHS since we have seen fully sheet rocked rooms, or an actual ceiling. Its amazing how much 1/2″ drywall hanging on a wall or ceiling actually make a bunch of 2×4 boards look like an actual…
Drywall. . . Finally!
We are at the point where everything hinges on something else. We couldn’t start insulation and drywall until HVAC went in to prevent mold. HVAC is in so insulation and drywall are going up quick! This is 34 sheets of drywall, next post all of this will either be on a ceiling or on a…
Big Delivery Week!
Big Trucks in a small neighborhood make for an interesting day. Regular size box trucks fit just fine but full size 18-wheelers are just a little too tall to fit underneath the power/phone lines. When our fireplace stuff was delivered the truck had to stop at the entrance to the neighborhood and the driver and…

Progress Post
The finish line is in site, at the edge of the horizon, but it is in site. Since our last update we have painted the house, installed most of the doors, rebuilt the screened porch, ran drain lines, and got in a HUGE order from Amazon’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. Those amazing sales are just…
King of the Dirt
Excavator week is OVER! Brady is sad, but after listening to the beep….beep…beep of the excavator every time he moved, I’m sure the neighbors were ecstatic to see it leave. Brady accomplished everything on MY list, but he said there were countless other things he could have done if rain hadn’t stopped progress the last…
The End of an Era
The house will never look the same again. . . Thankfully! She’s still ugly, just in a new way; she’s ugly in a way that people driving by can actually see progress is happening. The bushes are almost gone, the shutters are down (even though the pictures say differently), and the house has a whole…
Bathroom Progress
We finally have 2 bathrooms again! The floor joists are new, the subfloor is new, it’s all new! They aren’t the biggest bathrooms in the world, but I sure will be glad to have them functional. I’m sure the gas station up the road will miss us when we have our very own bathroom to…
More Electrical
Nothing overly exciting happened this weekend other than the onslaught of what feels like monsoon season. I’m sure you’ve all seen THAT movie that Alabama is most famous for (or at least in my opinion). The one in Greenbo Alabama. . . remember that scene where one day it just started raining and it wouldn’t…
