I hope everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend along with their indepencence!
What a gorgeous one! But I'm EXHAUSTED! We were able to spend the entire weekend working at the house. Dad and Connie came out and we spent all day Sat/Sun/Mon working.
Let's see....
Outside we: cut the lilac bushes back from the deck so they're not a wild mess anymore. Cut back all of the dead branches off the apple trees. Wow, they look so much better! The deck got a power-wash and is ready for a new set of stain. We saved a few pine trees that some nasty vines were choking. The entrance to the drive was cut back so we can now see when exiting (very important!) and the driveway was blown clean. Oh, and of course... the lawn was mowed.
Inside: The last bit of carpeting left in the house came out, trim was taken off all of the doors, paneling taken off walls, tiles came up off of the floor and all of the electrical outlets were taken off (that was my job....BORING!). The oven and refrigerator got a good cleaning and may actually be repurposed now!
Thor came up last night and will work on more demo this week... that'll be GREAT!
All of the quotes from the subcontractors are FINALLY in, so we need to crunch the numbers and see where we're at...
It's coming along!!!
