What can I say? I'm bad at uploading pictures. We finished up the demo and spent a good few days cleaning up.
Here's a laundry list of things we've done in the past two months, NOT chronological order:
- The dump truck has now been filled - three times.
- Rough framing is done.
- Electrical wires are just about done being pulled.
- Kitchen layout is marked on the ground.
- Light fixture locations have all been marked.
- Old windows have been removed (most of them).
- New windows have been ordered (coming soon).
- A special shout out to Dave, helping us bring the house into the 21st century with CAT6 and Coax cables pulled.
- The garage walls, driveway, walkway and sidewalk have all been pressure washed.
- Garage had exposed metal ties that needed to be cut with a grinder.
- Cindy went to town painting on a sealant in the garage that will hopefully help the bare concrete walls fare a little better.
- Brick fireplace has been resurfaced.
- New kitchen / dining room flooring has been picked.
- A special shout out to Jack for helping us install ties that tie our walls to the roof.
- Dug new drainage trench and laid new pipe in backyard patio area; had to lug hundreds of pounds of concrete and drainage gravel up to the backyard. Shout out to Jack and Vince for saving my back, literally (Cindy adds - And bank account).
