We Have Stairs!

Kyle helped me use a nail gun to put up a floor joist.



Nailing down a tread on the stairway from the basement to the first floor.



Kyle and Rick proud of their accomplishment!


The finished product! They are very sturdy!


My accomplishment for the day- with the help of a heat gun I stripped 80 years of paint off this column! Almost ready for our paint.

Goodbye, Screened Porch

After months of living with an ugly front porch, we finally tore the screen down.

We're very happy with the way that it makes the house look more open and bright!

We also made a huge accomplishment by choosing exterior paint colors. We've picked three different shades of green. Here's Mom showing off our first painted window. Check out those edging skills!

A huge Thank You to Kyle's brother Benjamin for tearing out 6 inches of tile and concrete from the bathroom floor! He might not want to come back and visit again until there's an actual bathroom here...

Kyle and his dad finished replacing the floor joists and putting down subfloor in the master bathroom. It's ready for the clawfoot tub! (after a little tile, plumbing, electric, drywall...)
