Ahhhh.....this is where our time goes!

Ahhhh.....this is where our time goes! This past Saturday we worked all day at this house. We have spent much of our time hauling out garbage....and we aren't talking a few bags. We estimate about 10,000 pounds of garbage! The house was full, the yard was full, garbage and stuff everywhere! Anyway, we are now on the more fun part of this project. (I call painting, repairing, cleaning, etc. "fun" after hauling out some very heavy and sometimes nasty garbage.) I will continue to search for our "before" photos to show you how much we really have accomplished.

Bathroom

There is a claw foot tub, an unusable toilet and I'm not sure about the sink. Pretty much a blank slate at this point.

Bedroom #1

We took out all the hardwood flooring in this room. Some of it had water damage. We are going to use what we took out to repair some damaged spots in the living room and dining room area. This was a DIRTY and tedeous job.

Dining Room

As you can see there are some areas on the floor that need to be replaced. We are going for the "rustic" and "character" look when we are done. We will replace some of the flooring and then stain the entire floor with a darker stain.

Living Room

This room isn't too bad. Again, we will replace any flooring that needs to be and then stain it a dark color.
