The New Project: 2010

Plastered Walls and a Real Floor in the Kitchen!

Ok, so I have been horrible with updating pics on the blog lately and this is my attempt turn over a new leaf. So here are a few pics of the plastered and mostly painted 2nd floor and the new red oak floors in the kitchen....

Friday

The Front is Done!

Ok, well it's almost done, Maria still needs to paint, ahem :), but it's close

Monday

Blueboard Went in This Weekend

Main Hallway, looking in from the foyer. Which is a fancy word for dead space that we wished we could use for something else.

Yep, there's the foyer

UPDATED PICTURES!!!!!!!

Maria has never used masking tape while painting this house....I have taught here wll ;)

Love the color! Maria has been so patient, every time she paints I do something that is either dusty, loud, damages the work she has already done or all 3...she has been a saint!

A fresh coat of plaster and some paint...voila, we have a dining room

The siding is going up and all the trim is being covered over to give the house a new look...this also corrected the strange and unexplainable 10 degree angle to the front of the house! Kind of

Good shot of the new roof

The blue...the blue...Maria and I are 3 for 3 agreeing on color...didn't know that was possible

Not sure we captured the demo, but we ripped the kitchen floor out, structure and all, and re-built it....a couple of weeks away from putting the wood floors in here....can't wait

The second floor bathroom came out way bigger then we both thought. Considering there was absolutely no architectural plan it looks pretty darn good

Even though insulation is necessary I really did not enjoy stuffing in the few pieces our friends couldn't do. I am still itchy...going on day 2....pretty much the worst thing on the planet! although subtle, my savior is sitting right there on the work bench

Tuesday

It's Been a While....

To our 3 followers :)....work has been going on throughout the summer and a ton of progress has been made. The new plumbing and electrical has been signed-off, and the rough inspection is due in the next week or so.
We will have some updated pictures to share hopefully this week.
Stay tuned.....

Thursday

Some Updated Pics

The good news....the front is shingled. The bad news....the back is not

The second floor rough framing and electrical was ready for the inspection until we decided to add a second floor bath. Eric to the building inspector "I think I'm almost ready to have you sign off", building inspector "no you're not"...uplifting

New hallway way to access bedrooms

It's actually starting to look like a house again...windows are amazing

Just One Picture Today

I will take better pics this weekend, but the roof is on.....finally, here's a teaser :)

Monday

This Weekends Progress

Well at least this half is water tight!

I'm thinking about just sticking with the blue, much cheaper

Finally go the siding and trim on the office, phew....we are very happy with the outcome.

Tuesday

Putting it All Back Together!

Dormer wall went up quick and all the rafters are cut out, now onto the front plate so the house doesn't tip over!

No need to go to Home Depot, just come to our house and steal it right off the front lawn

Wednesday

The roof...the roof..the roof is on the ground

Yep..it's gone and it wasn't easy. Maria had to leave twice because she was affraid we were going to kill ourselves lowering these beams. They easily way 500lbs. each and they came down as one piece. I was even a bit nervous!
