This weekend marks the beginning of our home renovation project! We bought a 1935 American Four Square home that needs a lot of work. It was retrofitted into upper and lower level apartments and it hasn't been updated (or cleaned for that matter) in a very long time. Our plan over the next 9 months is to gut the whole house, re-side, re-wire and re-plumb the house, build a completely new kitchen, create 2.5 new bathrooms, all while living in the house! I thought this blog would be a good way to force me to record this project, and allow others to enjoy our project vicariously- for better or worse.
So this weekend we managed to gut the basement down to only essential studs. W did all of that while I focused on the making the rest of the house liveable- cleaning floors, walls, & the most disgusting toilets I've ever seen. My other chore was removing carpet tacks from 2 rooms and a hallway. I still have one room to go.
We've got one week till moving day, but it's pretty liveable at this point! If at any point, you'd like to see more pictures, just email me.
