UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!




So our house seems to constantly be under construction but I absolutely love it! When we first moved in we ripped carpet out of both bathrooms and de-wallpapered them!! We also ripped out two layers of carpet in the front room and discovered that the bottom layer was glued to the original hardwood. We pulled out tile through the entry and all the way down our hallway! We have also done tons of painting! The crazy thing is I don't even feel 1/2 way done yet!! There is still lots of painting, sanding, floors to refinish, re-tile, and work in the bathrooms and the kitchen! We have regained a little energy to get some things done before the baby comes so we'll see how far we get! After getting all the tile out in the hallway, we found out that the hardwood changes directions and has a huge spot that was ripped out. It was probably taken out to add plumbing but the just covered the space with thick pieces of wood. We're hoping to duplicate the wood and fix the end of the hall. Old houses are crazy- you never know what you will find! I love living in a house with so much character and I only wish the walls could talk to tell me all the amazing things they have seen through out the years! P.S. Cedar tell Heath that's the show I couldn't think of the other day- If walls could talk! HA HA
