Rebuilding the Office

After 8 solid hours of demo and framing the front wall is water-tight and the windows are in!


Rough framing and sheathing, not one even or level surface in the entire room


Demo!!!! There were 3, 2-by-4's holding up the entire front of the this part of the house. There were also 3 windows and a door none of which were sealed properly and caused a ton of water damage, I'm thinking it was a good idea to update this portion of the house.

Kitchen and Office Updates

So the silly putty is gone....now I have to fix the floor that rotted away some 30 years ago!


Yep, that's a wall...or what's left of one. At some point I am taking an educated guess and saying there was a leak.


So all the awesome 70's faux wood paneling is gone, and to my surprise there was sheetrock in good shape, with he exception of the previous pic.


There used to be cabinets there....2 layers of wallpaper, half a wall of 1/4" peg board and some corn kernals, al lot of corn kernals!

The Kitchen...

Pink was big, well, never!


I mean c'mon the stove is new....ish


The remains


Look, silly putty, that's really all I can say about that!!!

Shiny!

I love shiny surfaces....Maria hasn't seen this yet but I think she is going to love it too!

Dining Room...and More Wallpaper

the wallpaper is almost as beautiful as the mint green trim color



No wallpaper...and pretty much no wall left either (horse hair and slat), and the floors starting to be ground down

This is What we Walked Into...

Notice the badly stained floors and lovely circa 1970 wallpaper. This is our first task.....

Maria hard at work, why are you giggling this is no laughing matter :)


Floor sanded down, stain's all gone!

This is what we saw, and we liked it.......

Ok, so it's not gorgeous by any means, but it will be!!!
