2 weekends of updates – I missed last weekend and we had started tiling! So here’s a recap of progress from the past 2 weekends. The weekend of the 15th – Friday and Saturday Ryan got the Kerdi system installed in the shower after sanding the bathroom. Once sanded I was able to see what …
The taping and spackling continue. The bathroom is almost done, some of the corners need a side done or touchups but we can easily finish that up this week. Bella’s room I think the taping is done now (maybe one small seam in the built-in area left) and spackling continues in there. Alex’s room we’ve …
As I’ve mentioned we are focusing on 2 bedrooms (Alex and Bella’s) and the smaller bathroom at the moment, hoping if we get those finished we can move in before finishing the rest. So we’ve started taping and spackling the bathroom and Bella’s room. My pictures aren’t the very latest progress but show some progress …
We took our annual ‘birthday week’ off between Ryan’s and my birthday. It sure is a bit different having kids though – and not living in the house we are renovating yet. I haven’t updated in a while so let me just update by project. We’ve been working on Siding before this week off … …
Well we had planned to hire someone to sheetrock but they never got back to us and after missing our first appt we didn’t like the track record of having to re-schedule or re-reach out ourselves (I did reach out by email asking about the quote and got no response) so I guess he didn’t …
Progress continues quickly as we finished up all the prep work for insulation and they came out last Wednesday to start the job (they are finishing up today with a few small touch ups and cleanup). We are seeing a huge improvement in heat retention even with the heat turned off this weekend (we turned …
We’ve made a lot of progress in the last month. It’s not easy to take pictures because it’s mostly demolition and wiring but the end goal is to get both the upstairs and downstairs of the main house (not the addition which is the livingroom/garage area) insulated. Originally we were going to do just …
I’ve been very neglectful in updates because I didn’t have pictures and I haven’t been there for 99% of the work that’s been done… partly because Ryan’s dad has done so much for us! One afternoon he went over and demo’d all the exterior walls because we had decided we’d do that and spray foam… …
The weekend before christmas I got to work on the house a bit! Suzanne watched the girls on Sunday and we got some wires run – fan boxes installed in 2 of the 3 bedrooms (and hooked up to switches!). The benefit right now is that we finally have light in those rooms (previously no …
This past weekend we had some great weather (what month is this again?!!). Ryan and his dad got the new chimney liner installed and finished the top of the chimney! Next up was installing the insert itself which took basically all day Sunday! It was quite the project. Other than that project we did get …
