Nothing amazingly fun to look at happened this week. Nothing that HGTV would show in a 30 minute special but we did make a good bit of structural progress. This progress is the slow not showy kind but absolutely necessary unless you enjoy living on the dangerous side and don’t mind falling through your floorContinue reading “Structurally Better, Not Sound but Better”

Room with a View
No update last week, last weekend defeated us. We removed A LOT of subfloor, a little more subfloor, and cleaned up around the fireplace but that’s about all we did and it was a fight from start to stop. I spent most of last weekend under the house in the crawl space. It’s the cleanestContinue reading “Room with a View”

We did find one DIY disaster funny this weekend, at some point someone decided that the floor was saggingContinue reading “Opening Up”

Day 2 A Little Rain Won’t Hurt
We went to visit Glenn after work today to clean out the small trash and leftovers from the previous owners. AC is out so it was HOT and muggy and reeked of mold. I masked up and we dug in. Before we gave up for the night a typically summer storm decided to roll throughContinue reading “Day 2 A Little Rain Won’t Hurt”
