Our renovation is most to acquire into calendar week 5 Our 1970's House Makeover Part 3: Progress Report

Hey ya'll!

Our renovation is most to acquire into calendar week five, but you lot won't live hearing whatever complaints from this girl. I've been waiting for this all to come about for 4 years directly together with I'll survive 5 tiny niggling weeks of dust.
But simply betwixt you lot together with me (we're whispering correct now), I could truly purpose a encephalon massage, a ballpark hotdog, a fully put-back-together house, together with a weeklong nap inwards Jamaica.
End whisper.

Okay, hence today's post.

I receive got lots of updates since finally week.

Buckle up.

Really quick, earlier nosotros acquire started, give thanks you lot for the emails together with comments you lot sent me finally week. Never receive got I ever. You acquire inwards experience agency less scary to expose my disaster trouble solid to the world.

Okay, hence when nosotros finally spoke...

this is where nosotros were with the dining room. I think at that spot were most 5 pieces of flooring installed, but gyre with me.

And here's where nosotros are today with this space.

The bulk of the woods is installed throughout the entire house, together with all that's left is sanding, staining, together with sealing.

And edifice the step rail, finishing the stairs, together with trimming out all of the walls nosotros knocked down.

No biggie.

After that's done, Jesse together with I volition pass a brace weeks ikon the entire trouble solid (I'm redoing most of the rooms...thank you, Cheese together with Tootie for having demeanour paws together with shark teeth.) together with installing all novel trim. I should live able to component subdivision somewhat commonly inwards my trouble solid at that point, hence you'll hopefully start to run into some fun projects worked into the blog, amongst renovation updates.

At to the lowest degree that's what we're going to nation ourselves.

Anyways, here's what the kitchen looked similar finally week after nosotros knocked downwards the wall.

And here's where nosotros are today.

Extending the hardwood into the kitchen made it seem most three times every bit large every bit it was before.

Which is awesome because it felt hence tiny before.

Many of you lot receive got asked most my plans for the kitchen.

Short term: Painting over the chalkboard, installing a even out mountain fixture, beefing upward the cut back on exceed of the cabinets.

Long term: Possibly tearing downwards the wall behind the fridge, extending the kitchen dorsum most three feet into the existing cupboard inwards the invitee bedroom, together with edifice a small-scale isle inwards the kitchen.

Obviously, this volition opened upward up some other wormhole of renovations similar cabinetry together with countertops.

Yay.

Speaking of the invitee bedroom, hither is where nosotros are today with this room. You tin run into the cupboard I was referring to, which would acquire pushed forward. And together with hence the sleeping room door would acquire moved to opened upward where the framed photos are hung.

That's Jesse's grandpa, dad, together with and hence Jesse's senior picture.

His mom gave that to me.

Favorite.

Going dorsum into the living room, here's where nosotros were finally week....halfway nether the limbo stick.

And here's where nosotros are today.

The mess is piece of cake starting to decrease, together with there's a faint aroma of normalcy inwards the distance.

I'm going to continue the pigment color low-cal together with airy, but peradventure select something less yellow...to live decided afterwards the flooring is done.

If I accept 1 to a greater extent than pigment chip, Sherwin Williams mightiness telephone call upward the cops.

Moving on...here's where nosotros were with the hallway finally week, afterwards knocking downwards the hallway wall.

And here's where nosotros are this week.

A tiny tear* falls downwards my cheek every fourth dimension I walk into this hallway.

*of joy

Here's what the office looked similar finally week.

We ended upward having to install novel subfloors inwards this room. Removing that weird tile did a discover on the existing ones.

And the business office today. I'm getting hence excited most this room.

I've got some ideas I can't hold back to play roughly with.

And recollect the ~~haunted house~~ principal sleeping room side room?

Of course of education you lot do.

Well, that room was the absolute worst.

And non simply because it's scary.

The master copy floors had been glued and nailed down. It's a large argue that we're currently inwards calendar week 4 of renovations, heading towards calendar week 5.

Today, the floors are finally installed. It's a joyous occasion.

And here's that same room finally week, from the opposite angle.

It's normal to desire to cry.

And the stance this week...

It's a total breath of fresh air.

I'm thinking most installing a window inwards this room on that wall conduct ahead. At some point.

A niggling natural low-cal would entice me to truly purpose this room for something other than storage together with Risky Business reenactments.

As for the entryway, nix to update you lot most simply yet.

It's notwithstanding simply a gaping hole of despair.

I've learned that inwards existent life, this expanse is non frightening to the normal person.

Just me, the daughter who has an unreasonable fright of heights.

This is my Mount Everest.

4 weeks without a railing = Fear Factor.

And hence that's where nosotros are today.
All of the flooring is installed together with sanded.
We're almost there.
I know I said inwards my finally post that I would live sharing my thoughts most the flooring color today, but honestly, I thought nosotros would live much further along than nosotros currently are.
So, deciding on a flooring stain....that procedure is simply directly beginning.
And hence is my calendar week long panic assault that volition hopefully culminate inwards a celebration.

I'm simply going to follow my pump on this one, together with run into what happens. I'll update you lot when I know.

I would likewise similar to follow my pump together with install the mailbox I saw Jesse eyeballing finally weekend spell nosotros were aimlessly wandering roughly Bass Pro Shop.

Jesse has been such a trooper during all of this, together with at times, the alone matter keeping me sane.
And a giant fish mailbox would brand his life.
You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
