Trimming the corners
The FUNNEST part was carrying all the bundles of singles up the ladder on to the roof...our poor backs at this point!!
they are an architectural shingle so have a texture to them, and need a bit of a warmer day to fully lay down but they are turning out pretty nice...
We put a new window into the side of the house facing ours to open it up and give it more light and more detail on the outside. Now all it needs is a frame and it will look great when we paint the house!
If you look really close in the background you can actually see Nate's truck and our house across the street!
This is what the kitchen looked like when we bought it...yes I also wondered how someone could live like that as well!!
mid demo...
Looking into the living room... We took down the half wall so we can build a little eating bar area from the living room and open up the floor plan a little.
This is what the kitchen looks like now...we have ordered the cabinets and are waiting for them to arrive.
we found nice oak floors underneath the sticky linoleum tiles so we are going to refinish them
we tore down the crappy shed in the back and cleaned up the back yard (you can see where it was attached to the house)
the house has been power washed and scrapped down for a new paint job
testing out some color options...hard to capture the true colors on film... it is much greener in person
this was the bathroom when we bought the house
taking down the tile
the bathroom has been gutted out completely now and we are in the process of refinishing a 41/2 foot claw foot tub for the renovation. You can also see that we uncovered part of a bigger window under the tile wall so we will be replacing that window to make it bigger as well.
The yard as we first found it
living room junk they left behind
a mess in the bedroom
junk piling up as we took it out of the house and waited for the dumpster to be delivered
