Many of you have been on my case for not keeping the blog up lately. And my excuse for that is, I am in the middle of a pretty good size remodel project on our house we just bought here in Washington. When we were looking for houses we knew exactly what we wanted, we just couldn't find the right one. So Jenn and I decided to find a house in the area we wanted and then make the improvements and updates now, so we can enjoy them while we are living in it.
Here is a little bit about the house:
Built in 1950
2400 SF
3 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
Unfinished Basement
Our remodel scope:
Refinish hardwood floors
knock out wall between kitchen and front room
gut the bathrooms and re-finish
gut the kitchen and re-finish
Paint
Add a bedroom downstairs
add more electrical
add a family room
add a theater room
The goal for all of this to be completed: 10 weeks!
I know what you are thinking...How am I going to pull this off with my little knowledge of construction? Well, I have a great Father-in-law who has been here for a month helping me. I also had the help of my Dad who gave a long week and longer days to get this project started.
Now, after 4 weeks, the upstairs is coming along really well and is about 90% completed. I haven't had the time to post much on the blog, but I have been posting periodic twitter updates in case some of you haven't noticed. For now, here are some "before" pics as well as some of our progress. Check back for more as we near completion upstairs and start the downstairs.
BEFORE:
MID-PROJECT:
The kitchen completely gutted.
Movers arrived!
The cabinets hung, and appliances in (except the dishwasher)
I will post all the pics on my Flickr eventually, but check back for more updates either on the blog or my twitter.
