Stalled

As you may have noticed -- there was a break in the remodel.  Life continues to move forward even if we want it to slow down :~)

The bathroom and trim painting are left to finish.

I've been blessed to have this work done and am super excited to have my living quarters all 'gussied' up and usable.

More pictures will be loaded after the July 4th weekend.

Little Finishes

We are on the last stretch for the kitchen!!  The baseboard, trim and crown moulding are chosen.  My sister and brother-in-law have started adding them.  I have a few pictures (including new hardware).

Continued Remodel Progress

Each week brings progress - sometimes a little and sometimes a lot :~)

Last weekend, the sink got installed and the lighting trim was added.

There is light at the end of the tunnel!!

Counters

Each week I see progress being made in my new space.  Last weekend, the counter-tops and cupboards were mounted.

I found out yesterday that the rest of my items that were ordered (sinks, faucets, toilet) have been delivered to Spokane and are ready for pick-up!!

Remodel Update - Primer

The remodel is moving along!  The mud and taping of the drywall was completed and primer was applied.

Next step – painting and flooring 😊

Lights!

Progress was made this weekend with the remodel!  I am getting so excited to have a kitchen area.

My brother-in-law and sister have been such a blessing with this project.

Electrical

We are moving forward with the remodel.  We have live wiring for outlets and lights in the new kitchen area ~ YAY!

Remodel Update

Last weekend we put up the wall -- progress :-)

Activities are preventing any more work on this remodel until the weekend of Feb. 23rd.

Start of Remodel

It has begun.  I had to move a lot of boxes and furniture out of the ‘big room’ to get ready for the ceiling removal.  Here are a few ‘before’ pictures:

We got the ceiling down on Saturday and pulled up the carpet where the kitchenette/dining area will be.  Here are the ‘after’ pictures:

I’m getting super excited as this is becoming reality!  Praising the Lord for His faithfulness.

Remodel Anticipation

In our new place, I don’t have a kitchen area – yet J

I do have a brother-in-law (only one) who has done tons of demo and remodeling to their home AND he is the man that did my bathroom remodel in 2010 (check out the Fall 2010 blog posts).

I have picked out the flooring for the kitchen/dining area which will also be put in the bathroom (yep, getting a facelift in there, too!).

I’m hoping to post some before and after pictures of the remodel.

In other news, my mom turned 73 last Friday.  I brought home Chinese for dinner and my sister and family stopped by on Sunday to visit.

Each day is a blessing and I thank the Lord for every one!

Remodel Complete

What excitement!  We are thrilled with our new bathroom.  If you have been keeping track, it has been over a month since we had a usable bathroom.

What a different look we have.  It used to be cramped, dark and not a good use of space.  Now we have light, open and a beautiful space.

I am so thankful to my sister and brother-in-law. They were such troopers and did a fabulous job.

Time

It is hard to realize that another week has flown by!  Busy days followed by busy evenings. The bathroom is still a work in progress and is coming along day by day :-)

No toilet again - tape/mud and primer instead.

I am ready for a completed room - wait, make that a completed home again :-)  My sister and brother-in-law have been so helpful and gracious (with their trailer and bathrooms) I really can't complain about the remodel.  It looks great and I know an awesome job has been done.

Remodel Update

The marble threshold looks awesome.  It is going to be a great shelf for the sink :-) There are just a few more tiles to be placed before grouting begins. My brother-in-law has been working at FAFB this week and the family is going camping over the weekend, so we are biding our time until next week.  It is shaping up nicely and will be a completed job he should be proud of!  Thank you again, again and again :-)

Continued Progress

There is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel :-)  Well, I'm guessing a couple more weeks before we have a totally completed bathroom; however, each day brings us a step closer.  My brother-in-law is an honest to goodness handyman!  I know many people say they are, but he really is.  The variety of projects he has done for this "bathroom remodel" show what some research, initiative and perseverance can do!  He is not afraid to tackle anything (read 'mainstack leak').  I am not sure how I will be able to repay his hard work and dedication; however, I will give it my best :-)

Challenges of Remodeling

Wow - Kudos to my Brother-in-law and sister!  I can take minimal credit for the work in progress of my bathroom remodel.

We have run into a few "snafu's"; however, Matt takes them in stride :-)

Old homes tend to hide things below the surface, as we found out this weekend.  I am grateful to the family I have that pitches in.  Thank you sooooo much for your help!

I am excited to have the finished product - although it is in the not so near future :-)
