A Helping Hand

My buddy from the old hood and college CSS partner, DJ Mesenhowski stopped over to help pull out the tile in the entryway.

The Garage

A picture of my beloved 3 car garage. Half the reason I wanted this house.

Wide Open Spaces

Been busy with work and family time, but managed to get a couple big things done:

1. All the walls are down, except those last 2 posts that used to be the closet.
2. My buddy Pete brought his trailer over and we trimmed the trees and hacked down 2 Crabapple trees in the back yard. Now we have a great football field for Jack.
3. Kristin and her mom painted the closets white, one of those things you will never do if you put your clothes in first.
4. Replaced a slider window with a new Anderson double casement. It needed to be moved up so the countertop can go under it.

Hoping to order cabinets this week and move in in 2 weeks, we will see?

Ahead of myself again.

Forgot to post pictures of the house before it met my 50# sledge.

Release the Furry!

Have been hard at work with the demo of some interior walls and the kitchen.

Bought a new house

Hello to all,

We closed on our new house on Swan Drive on Friday Oct 2, 2009.

Here is a little background on our "investment".

It was built in 1971 and lived in by the same couple all 38 years, and was never updated in those 38 years. It is a Spanish style, which we hope to change, single level Ranch. 2000 finished square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 1 fireplace, 3 car garage on about .4 acres.

It is our 15-year project, we are hoping to make it ours with a laundry list of projects. I will try to update this blog with what are are doing to the house and interesting things we come across during the process.

Let the fun begin!
