remodeling a remodel!

The wall before it was all destroyed!
how things were done in the 1950's
Emmalyn helped too!!! (hey dad, does Nates shirt look familiar?) thanks for the hand-me-down
He's got all the tools he needs!



O yes, that's right... remodeling a remodel! Who would have guessed less than 1 year of owning our own home and remodeling it we would be back to doing the same thing again?!!! There was a wall in our master bedroom that Nate just couldn't stand to look at anymore! One early morning last week we decided it was time to redo it once and for all! He began by destroying the wall he didn't like and proceeded to move on to other things as well. We are now getting our ceiling re-mudded around our light fixture, new trim and crown molding. Since the room was being destroyed anyway, I decided I didn't like the paint color we originally picked either! Call it a pregnancy brain flub on my part. As Nate proceeded to tear down the wall we discovered a somewhat odd, old way of putting up an add on. Nates grandpa had the master bedroom added on when Cathy (Nate's mom) was born. They obviously took the easy way and just plopped up a room right outside the old exterior!!! When Nate tore down the wall he found the exterior of the old house! What a weird surprise! He was going to try to get fancy and do something like tear it all apart but I put my small but firm foot down and said NO WAY!!! These pics are the beginning of the process. We will post as we go and give you a look at our finished product... (if it ever gets done!)

You are crazy! If you need a job, I have plenty of projects around here. I can't seem to get them done so since you have a yearning for construction, come on down!!
