A little light remodeling......Hmmmm

Well, the demo has begun and we are living in our mess. We've done multiple projects. Here are a few pictures of our journey.

James and Warren helping Daddy stain the new window frame for the window that was damaged after we moved in.

Our slate hearth pad Greg laid for the new wood stove.

After smoking the house out the first morning, I have finally redeemed myself tonight. I'm almost too hot. Just had to document this for posterity!

Greg is tearing out the gas fireplace and is going to build a bench and shelving into the shell that is left. I can't wait to have a place to put the fire wood away.

My project for tonight was to tear out our old carpet in the living room. We are having it install downstairs tomorrow morning and new carpet will be installed in the living room on Monday. We don't want to get bored!

Missing in Action

Okay, I admit it, I disappeared from blog land. Something had to give and this was it. So Just to keep things interesting I thought I'd show you what we've been doing for the last few months. We sold our home. Believe it or not! We are on a quest to find the perfect new home. One complete with a bigger house and preferably 5 acres. We've tried these 2 so far. One was falling apart and the other we were outbid on. So the battle goes on.

Falling apartOut Bid:(

For now we are living in our friends house. A little confusing because it is our exact house but flipped. The first week I almost walked into a wall and I'm still trying to open the single style cupboards on the wrong sides. This morning Warren tried to run to the front door to go to the bathroom because that was the direction of the old ones. I'm not crazy, see my family is doing strange things also!

Had to add this adorable picture of my boys. James is in a take his clothes off stage. I think it should align with a potty training stage too. Hey the clothes are already off, why not go!
