Renovations Begins......

It is amazing how quickly I get behind on the blog.  Usually Sundays are fairly open and provide a nice day to review the week--but the past few Sundays have been busy and now I am playing catch-up AGAIN!  Of course, compared to the years before the blog that I still need to document--a few weeks is nothing.

Moving on---

RENO Starts----Getting pictures to help with planning and getting bids.  This blog will probably contain lots of pictures of the process--the good and the bad.  Feel free to skip on if you aren't into these type of details.

Chris Walsh (Walsh Factor and Marge's son-in-law) is doing our master bathroom.  We selected the tiles and the counter tops, bought a tub--returned the tub for one slightly smaller, and moved our bedroom into the office.

storing of our cabinets which we are going
to reuse in the bathroom


The demo is done.



Gary Kerr designed and is building our library wall in the front room (with assist from Gary).  Very excited about this project.  My grandparents had a library room--bookcases on three walls of their parlor.  I loved that room and always wanted to have my own.  Only one wall, but it will create a space of books and other beloved things.  I hope that my grandchildren love it, too.

Gary has blocked off the living room to keep the dust down in the rest of the house.

So with the reno---clothes moved to the coat closet.......
...and Gary's office moved into the TV room.
These are only temporary moves as we will all move downstairs when our other contractor--Sean Ferguson from Aspen Hills and his team begins working on the rest of the house.  Probably after Christmas sometime.

It will be a journey--we will try to enjoy it as best we can.
