I haven’t updated recently, but don’t take that to mean we haven’t been busy! There’s been a lot going on, but nothing that’s super interesting or exciting. We’re finally getting to the “fun” stuff, though. From this point on, pretty much everything we do will really make a difference in how the house looks and feels.
So, in light of that news, expect me to start updating the site a bit more often!
To catch you up on what we’ve been up to:
We have walls!
They still need to be primed and painted, but at least you can’t see between the rooms anymore!
It took the workers about 6 days to get all of the drywall up and finished. There’s still a corner of Dylan’s room that’s undone, because we’re going to replace the electrical panel, so they’re going to come back to finish that at a later date.
We have a new patio door!
Technically, this is a project that would have been saved for the next phase of the remodel, but we needed to have the outside of the house prepped so the stucco guys could work their magic, so the door got replaced sooner rather than later. It also necessitated that we remove the old fireplace and chimney. And the rock on the wall in the Living Room.
That was a fun project:
Ugly rock? GONE!
- Chimney Rubble
For a reminder on what it looked like before, go here.
We have stucco! Almost!
You can see the new (almost finished) stucco on the back of the house in the patio door picture up above. The front of the house also has the first two layers of stucco. They’re waiting for us to finish installing the new front door before they finish the stucco on the porch.
Notice the need for an entryway organizational system?

And we have to pick a stucco color -
- So many choices!
We also have bathroom tile!
For the Main Bathroom
We just need to have the cabinets delivered (hopefully this week) and get some paint on the wall before we can install it.
Things are starting to look up!
