Getting Back To Work




Kate and I took some time off from the renovation once we got the kitchen done for some much needed rest. We started to get back on track this week and here are some of the updates from the kitchen and living room. We realistically only have about 3 more weeks on the inside to be to an acceptable level of "done". I think we'll always been working on something but as far as major construction we'll be done for a while (until we get to refinishing the floors).

Kitchen

We installed the vent and made a shelf for it to hang on, we will be building some sort of cabinets around the stove soon.
Cabinets and back splash completely done! We've actually been using our kitchen for nearly two months and you never know how much you need a kitchen until you don't have one for 8, count them 8 months.


Living room, new sheet rock is going up!

The ceiling in the living room had bowed some throughout the years so we had to jack it up and put some braces in the attic parallel to the ceiling joists.
Had to cut some holes to get pull the ceiling up.
We love the old front door we have but we have to replace the knob and put a deadbolt on it, well old doors and locks were made alot different so we pulled it all out filled the space with a piece of wood and wood filler so we can install the new hardware.

Some of he side effects of living in a house during a total renovation. This is our guest bedroom, lol. Sorry for anyone that wants to stay with us, you might be on an air mattress for a while. We moved 11 months ago and still haven't unpacked half of our stuff, I think maybe we should get rid of anything we haven't unpacked because we obviously haven't missed it any, doubt Kate will go for it though.
