After an embarrassing amount of over-thinking and research, I have finally made the tub decisions. It is a sense of relief and satisfaction that is probably not exclusive to just me. I feel like everyone in my life has been patiently listening to me talk about tubs, look at tubs, tell people that I’m going…
I honestly thought I was being better about taking these pictures each week – but alas, not all of them have the same angles. The back of the house has undergone some equally dramatic changes but I know that I’m missing probably two months of pictures. The house was backed so close to the back…
Consider this the official five month mark! When we were first getting construction quotes, the timeline ranged from 4-9 months… who knows where we will end up but it’s been a busy five months so far. This wasn’t the easiest week in the book. Lots of discussion around plumbing and electrical. The hardest part of…
Just like many areas of this house, the hall bathroom has undergone several transformations to get where we are. And when you look at the floor plan changes…. you might just chuckle to yourself at the end result. Why? Because it’s going to be exactly the same as it was for the first 70+ years…
It feels like we are on a roll of super productive weeks. After those incredibly cold weeks in December and early January, things are happening… every…. day. Even on Saturdays. I’m telling myself it’s because I’m such a joy to work with that people want to spend their Saturdays with me. The more realistic option…
Of the three bathrooms in the house, the downstairs bathroom is the one I can most clearly visualize coming together. Awhile back I wrote up some background on the space, but now it is time to introduce some of what is swirling around in my head. As previously stated, this bathroom is more than just…
… to picking a tub. After this week’s moderate panic, I found some degree of clarity around what I’m potentially looking for. Unfortunately, it is probably not what my plumber wants – but he also said he doesn’t care as long as I’m happy. To help share some of the crazy that has been inside…
When I was looking back on the pictures from this week, it was hard to believe all of this happened in just 5 days. It was exciting when the house landed on its foundation last week, but man – the progress just keeps happening. Each day was something new. In one day alone, we added…
After several weeks of very quiet progress, week 17 was one where we picked up momentum again. The biggest thing? The house is on the foundation. That’s right. After about 3 months in the air, the old lady finally landed on her brand spanking new foundation. With the house finally in its resting spot, everything…
Happy 4-month-aversary to my construction site! This would be a perfect time to travel back in time and do some side by side comparisons but maybe we’ll save that for next week. I’m still deep into plumbing fixtures. Hey remember when I was worried about shingle color? Those were the good old days. After about…
