Time has been flying and so has the garbage...

It's been way too long since I have posted so this is going to be a doozey! We have been busier than bee's, been to both coasts, moved out of our rental an tore the back end of our house down. While doing this we are lucky enough to have amazing friends The Youngblood's who are allowing us to take up residency in their new place in Magnolia. We are actually filming a reality television show it's called 6 people 2 last names (Cody, Jessica, Allison, Mark, Jesse and me) and wouldn't get the ratings it does if it weren't for the dog-puppy/cat-kitten quad that we have running a-muck. Also a huge thank-you to Uncle Jesse for leaving his life in sunny LA to help us with our "little" project. It's been great to have his help and creativity! Here we go..................................................................

onions' growth is astonishing

and on to the house all the floor joists sistered in the basement and a new moisture barrier, feels so good to get new materials in

bye bye chimney

progress in the living and dining room

before the tear down

filled with garbage, and now we have just filled it again. we have removed over 9tons thus far

starting the tear down this process took a lot of thinking, designing, dealing with the city, sketch-up and elbow grease. we finally got all 6 pages with multiple drawings stamped by the city and have our permit. huge weight lifted off our shoulders

new window, it replaced 3 old charming ones but this is big and bright and way more energy efficient! and was 120$ at a salvage yard

this is what they called foundation, broken pieces of concrete with a tarp over it, yay
