Still deciding on stove but here are our top choices for dishwasher and fridge:

Clear door = contents on display = healthy food only ;)

Point Of No Return

First we took the walls down to the plaster...



But then we took the walls down to the lath...


One thing led to another and finally we just went ahead and gutted the whole thing



It was about this time, hip deep in debris, that we started to cry...




But these guys saved the day-Robb and Darrin were fantastic!

I cant believe this is the same house!




Our electrician and his crew have even started working some of their wiring magic

Another Wall Comes Down!

This was the drywall partition that was between the middle and back bedrooms. Were not sure what we will do in its place...


Bathroom Demo...Work In Progress




First Round Of Grading!

Our Arborist came out and did a first round of grading which included:
(1) installation of underground piping to allow rain water to flow to the back of the property...
(see the pipe on the right-it connects to the gutter then goes underground)

(and pops out in the back of the yard)

(2) creation of gentle slopes to help move water away from the house...

(3) and removal of the porch



The next move is to have the entire foundation repointed. The arborist will then come back out and build the soil up against the house!
