Floors!

Well, I lied. I'm posting again and we're not finished. (Cause a few people have asked to see the floors.) So we learned the secrets to laminate floors; most of all make sure your lower back is ready for a beating!!

Week 5

Well as you probably figured out, we moved our moving date. The truck is now the 27/28th so we have a little more time to work on the house. The roofers are basically finished so no more leaks! Dad and I have also been making progress. This will probably be the last picture until everything is finished.

And non-house related, but Mary got a new car this week!(Bye bye BMW:(, Hellooooo Lexus!

Mary will post pictures of her new suv soon Im sure.

Well weeks 3 and 4 went by very quickly. Mary came to visit for Valentines day!

After hours of sanding wallpaper off and spackling and resanding.


Doing some major work on the roof.

There has been a hole in the roof for years and after a while it rotted a lot of the frame.

What? You think we had time to do all the roof work?

Dad had actually hired Laman Roofing to do the repairs before we even decided to move, he just took a while to get here.

Finally, we got the LVL beam at Belknap!

Before we could put the beam in we had to finish jacking/ leveling the foundations and add a post to support the new header.


Got the beam in place, leveling it, and building supports.

After hours (3.5) of work on 2/7 we got the beam finished. I feel like there was a game or something we were suppose to watch today?? lol. (Watched the superbowl for 10 min at Dunkin Donuts.)

Framed my "bump out" and starting to Drywall!

Dad and I spent the entire (about 10am-midnight) day getting everything framed, drywalled, taped and spackled +Lowes trips. We got a schedule to keep!

Finally starting to see a big difference!

Week 3

Dad and Bob working on some wiring in the wall we removed at the kitchen.
No more Wires!!

Wall dividing the Living & Dining Room w/ Temp walls for support.

Now you see it!


Now you don't!!

Time is winding down until Mary moves in so we've got a lot of work to do. Hopefully week 4 will see a lot more drywall and paint and a lot less demolition...hopefully! The move truck is tentatively planned for 2/20
