Our House

Wow! Ok so when we bought this house we knew it would be a project house. So far we have re-done the sewer, finished the hard wood floors, added knock down to the front room, and master bedroom (painted those rooms as well), got new front and back doors, re-roofed our back side of the house, and completely re-did our back room (well it's almost done). Our back room used to be two rooms. But it had no over head lighting and no heat! Yes it has a fire place but the fire place does not have a blower on it so that room was FREEZING in the winter time. So we knocked the wall down to make it one big room. The did not have dry wall in that room except for one wall. They had this ugly wood paneling so we took it all down, took all of the drywall off of the ceiling cuz there was water damage.Took all the carpet up cuz it was red and gross. So we added canned lighting, we added a heater for that side of the house. So far we have all of the new dry wall up we still are the in the process of mudding and taping this room is HUGE. But should be done with that in the next couple of weekends. Than we can knockdown that back room, add our laminate hard wood flooring, and add the trim. Than the only thing left in that back room will be the marble for the fireplace and the new mantel.
