My Summer/ New House Renovations

     SO. I haven't been on here in forever. I've been busy, but mostly lazy. I haven't done much this summer. Just a few arts and crafts that I should have taken photos of during the process of their creation (This is where the laziness comes in). I've altered some shirts, made a baby blanket, a cute messenger bag and am currently working on refinishing my old desk, which I will post pics of later.
      The biggest thing this summer has been our house remodel. We bought a house that needed quite a bit of TLC and we acted on impulse and decided to fully renovate. That includes floors, walls, plumbing, electrical, exteriors, roof, etc. We're only at the plumbing and electrical stage, but we've made excellent progress considering we've been doing it mostly on our own. It's been the family remodeling with the help of some good friends.

Here are some before pics...

Demolition

Totally gutted. What you don't see is us pulling about a million staples out of the ceiling, walls and floor for like 4 days.

Brand new floors. Because the old ones are icky... Obviously.

Raising walls.

Framing in new windows... My window

 We had a very nice breeze for awhile ;)

Sheeting the outside

Cutting out doors and windows. That is my brother btw.

 And voilá. We have windows!

So as you can see we still have quite a bit of work to do, but it will all get done in time. It started off rough, but by the time we're done, it is going to be a very nice place. Though I haven't done much this summer, it has been very memorable. It's not often you redo an entire house!
