The new year started out about the same as last year – a weekend trip up to the NH house to work 🙂 We had Alex with us so I mostly just spent time with her and Ryan worked. He got the final coat of spackle on the upstairs hallway (above the staircase). During ‘naptime’ …
This weekend we brought along the peanut and she was a big help 🙂 Don’t ever change alex – you are too perfect 🙂 We had a busy day Saturday. Alex and I ran to home depot while Ryan started with some spackling. We have this tough to reach spot at the top of the …
Back to NH this past weekend and of course it rained on Saturday 😉 Ryan’s back is still out – worse this weekend than the last! I was able to get some painting done though. On Saturday I vacuumed the master bedroom ceiling/walls and then got them primed! My plan in there is to save …
Been a while since I updated! We were just very busy with working on the house, moving, vacation, moving some more. The week after insulation we spent prepping for sheetrock. The first day of our vacation I spent the first 1/2 the day finishing the electrical (wiring smoke detectors, washer, dryer, last light). All the …
Our last chunk of insulation is done! If you don’t count the windows – we’ll have to insulate around the windows ourselves with cans because their sprayer was broken but we weren’t charged for it so no biggie. Either way – we are very close to ready for sheetrock now! Hopefully this weekend we can …
The last week and weekend has been a bunch of projects so I’ll just update using pictures on all the work that’s been done recently. During the week we had a crew working on the siding on the back side of the house! They got the siding installed and the soffit stripped and all primed …
Wednesday was a very busy day. First Ryan did a bunch of cleanup/moving stuff to prepare for demo (out on the roof mostly). Then after lunch he started the actual demo with a break for dinner. After the little one was in bed he finished the last 2 walls and I helped with the cleanup …
Work on the house continues this week. Maribeth and Dan came out for a long weekend and worked away on our small porch off the bedroom. They stripped all of the old paint and it looks great! Can’t wait to get this thing sanded and painted so it looks nice. We’re going to put new …
Friday and Saturday we rented a lift to complete some up high projects around the house. First up Ryan got a coat of paint on the shakes on the driveway side and the molding up under the soffit. Some sections of that molding aren’t done yet but they are easier to get off a ladder …
We’ve been doing a lot but instead of covering the weekend I’m going to post by project. Ryan is going to be working on the house for 3 weeks straight starting next week and I’ll try to keep up the documentation to follow that but this week I’m going to just try to catch up …
