Quick Update

The house leveling company started on Monday, a full week early, so that is awesome news. They are going to be done by Tuesday because of the Thanksgiving Holiday but everything is going great so far. The house already is signifigantly more level than it was and they are only halfway done. Some of the stucco is cracking but nothing that isn't fixable and it was expected. Will post pics when I get time this weekend.

Some Updates

hew! What a busy week, between new job and trying to work on the house and driving back and forth between San Angelo and Sweetwater, I haven't slept much. Sorry for just the few pictures but I'll try to get more up soon. Still waiting on the house leveling company to get there and get the job done. Getting estimates on the roof, amazing how many differences you can have in opinions from company to company.
Some "landscaping" done, well at least we cleared out all the crap that was there so I can start to plant some nice shrubs next spring.Some drywall up, can't do too much until the house is level.
New back door.
Eaves and trim getting replaced or scraped and primed by the painting crew.

The paint is coming off the trim, not easily but is coming off.

All in all, a fairly productive week, we have a good bit of stuff moved into the construction zone since we are going to try and live there during the renovation. We have to get a everything moved from San Angelo by Dec 6 (Wish us luck).

Wow there is so much to do

Well now that I have some "before pictures" posted, I will be periodically adding updates as we progress. There is a lot of work that needs to be done that has to be put on hold for now. With the houses age it has become unleveled throughout the years and has caused some major but fixable problems throughout the house. We have contracted a house leveling company to come and correct this problem, which is great except they can't get to it until December and wow it's not cheap (but has to happen). They will be raising the house up with hydraulic jacks and putting two support joists the length of the house and pouring new piers for them to rest on. We really can't drywall or put in cabinets or anything like that until the house is level, so for now all of that will have to wait, but don't worry there are many things that can be done.

Bedrooms "Before" Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the bedrooms, not too much to do in these just refinish the floors, sheetrock, and paint.

"Kitchen" Before Pictures

Not sure you can really call it a kitchen yet, more of a room with no plumbing or cabinets that I assume someone once cooked food in. It will be a kitchen soon enough though.

Living and Dining Room "Before" Pictures

There are fireplaces in the living and dining rooms, with 10' pocket doors and a built in china hutch.

Bathroom "Before" Pictures

The bathroom will need a little work. lol

Exterior "Before" Pictures

The exterior definitely has potential somewhere underneath all this.
