The Deed, The House is Ours!

Wow! That is all I have to say, a process that should take 6-8 weeks took 9 1/2. The waiting was dreadful! But we own it! Yay!Now we are in full demo mode and we are waiting for building permits! I started picking out fixtures and doors which is fun, but stressful in that you never know what it will look like when it is all put together! I am really starting to get excited about all of the work! Outside we removed 3 trees and burned lots of wood! We are on our 2nd dumpster already. The reality of our budget is quite scary! We purchased windows and that was something we didn't plan for. In the long run this will have proven to be a good decision. Right now, I could puke! Our last house remodel was nothing compared to this. Our current home is a cookie cutter that we put our own personal touches on! But this, this is a lot! It has been quite stressful for all of us! Luckily the girls love having the 5 acres and we dream of the day when we live there and watch the deer, ducks and Heron frolic around our ponds. We wish for warm days on the patio that doesn't quite exist. But we are happy and healthy and that really is all that matters! Here are some photos of the progress we have made!

Closet demo to make room for mechanicals that do not exist!

Junk furnace to keep pipes from freezing this winter! 

Girls bathroom during demo- not as much mold as we thought! Yay!

Kitchen and dining after demo- the tinfoil wall will be where the addition goes!

Used to be a slider at one point?

Say a prayer for us! We need positive thoughts!
