It's Been a While....

I am admittedly not very good about keeping up with this thing. I'd much rather be working on the house then writing about working on the house, but it has been suggested to me that I add some updates. So this is for you Bos and Carrie :)

We started out by renting a dumpster and pulling all of the old plaster off the walls in the 4 bedrooms, the downstairs bathroom, and the living room upstairs. Most of it was falling off and needed to be replaced with drywall. We also got rid of the appliances upstairs and gutted the entire downstairs bathroom.

Most of that big-muscle work was done by Kevin, Doug (Kevin's Dad), and Adam while Laura (Kevin's Mom) and I worked on the front yard. There was a big, ugly evergreen bush growing in front of the porch that we cut down, along with another big, scrubby looking bush growing at the other corner of the front yard. I'm sure the garbage men loved all the brush piled in front of our house that week.


We've done a lot of work since this point, but those pictures are on Kevin's camera so I'll have to wait till tomorrow (or next month - whatever) to add those 'after' pictures.
