It Begins

We have been wanting to do some remodeling for a long time, and on Memorial Day weekend those plans started to become reality! It is going to be a process, but I have a talented and handsome contractor who knows a whole bunch about remodeling, so I know that the process will be great and exciting. 

Troy and I have  been sleeping in the girls old room, after we upgraded them to our big bedroom, and since this one of the rooms getting remodeled, we have been relocated upstairs to the current TV room. 

Here is the hallway to the girls old room and bathroom BEFORE it all began...

The lovely pink room, yikes it is pink! This room after completion will be the TV room. This is looking into the room from the door

 The bedroom looking from the corner by the window back towards the bedroom door. 

 

Oh boy, so much pink, is it hurting your eyes....this lastl wall in the bedroom is where the new door for the TV room is going to be...

 

This is the other side of that wall, where the new TV room entrance will be...

 

This is the unused side of the attic, which is directly above the pink room and bathroom, this is going to be the girls new room. Troy and I will be moving back into our old room. 

This is the old original side of the house, that was build in 1908. Them thar are some old boards!

 

Here is a picture of the bathroom, I forgot to get a pre remodel picture, I have one somewhere, just not at the moment. But you can see how the bathroom is configured right now, so the AFTER shots will be more impressive!

It started with a whole lot of mess! As Troy started pulling stuff off the wall, he found a layer of Sheetrock, a layer of paneling, another layer of Sheetrock, then the lath and plaster, and then the blown in insulation. It was a dusty sheetrocky mess for a while! 

There were ALOT of trips back and forth the trailor and lots of bags of garbage to fill. I am so glad that part is over! Poor Troy and I were blowing black stuff out of our noses for days. Fun!

The backside of the shower. The door to the pink room is on the right.

 This is the after Sheetrock removal picture of where the new door will go.

So many pictures and so much progress made already...More pics to come!!!
