Well, some of you might remember, April 2012. My family was unanimous (kind of) on moving into a house that has been in the family since 1925 when it was built by my great-great-grandfather and his son. Generations passed down to us having the house.
One day, my parent's had talked about it. We had no other family that could move in there. We had to to keep it in the family.
Anyway, I'll catch you up with a few pic.s. (Before redo's)
The garage
part of my bedroom
Other part of my bedroom
The other part
The problem is that it is NOT a bedroom,
it was a "Breezeway" and was FREEZING!
So that was most of the work.
The hideously-colored.

Well that's the house, over the next 10 months after that,
there was a lot of work to be done!
Boy! We didn't know what we were in for!

Hi!
Other wall in the kitchen
Laminate floor on the deck!
That was all done by the end of June 2012.
it took (to do all that) about 1 week! We worked fast, but it didn't feel like it!
Now, the pink bedroom needed to be painted.
I don't have a pic of that. But I will take one next time I go over.
It is now Blue/grey. and my room is now textured, as of about August 2012.
We saw a few bad wires. We called a friend/electrician. He is a Christian and we trust him with the keys.
He called us over and we saw the pile of HORRIBLE wire. It was falling apart and I just don't know what else to say besides HORRIBLE!
The electrician had to COMPLETELY redo the entire system of wires. That took from September 2012-Janurary 2013. He worked alone most of the time. Then we ran into a problem with the floor furnace. The vent pipe... ROTTEN! FALLING APART! Replaced three days ago! Furnace working again! YAY!
Now that you are caught up. This post is already too big, so I will post later stuff later....
