Well, here it goes. An attempt at a blog.
Here it goes!
So, where do I start? Hmmm.
I want to update everyone on pictures and whatever else is going on with us!
Matt and I like to go fishing, camping, and house remodeling.
We have a dog and two cats. We are attempting to make the family a little larger, if there's a will, there's a way. :)
We are in the process of a major remodel on the main level to the house. It has been a huge undertaking so far. We have demolished our bathroom, painted the bedroom and living room. We are looking forward to CARPET this winter. Planning for a new fireplace and furniture.
Matt works second shift for Gentex, we only have time together on the weekends, which mainly is us remodeling the house. We are planning to lay low for Thanksgiving this year. I am making a dinner for us. Matt wants steak and crab legs, since it's just us, we can do what we want! We want to be selfish this year. We hardly get time together, so we want to make the holidays special with each other.
Our progress for our new main level is slow, but we are getting through!
Here are some pictures.
This is the living room. We painted it yellow when we moved in, now we are covering up the yellow with the color on the top left.
This is the main bedroom, painted. The color in here was awful. It was a pinkish, maroon, horrible reddish color. Ugh. Much better.
This is the extra bedroom. We painted this green a few years ago. It's a nice soothing color, so we are leaving it the same. We will put different carpet down.
Our fireplace, in progress. There was a terrible red tile down in front of the fireplace and an awful brass enclosure. GONE
Our bathroom in the process of getting a sub-floor. I guess in the 1950's no one heard of sub-floors and insulation on outer walls. What a job this has turned into.
When Matt brought the sink outside for trash, he thought it would be funny to be "those" people who have various items in their front yards. The sink is actually stuck in the grass, it also left a big hole in the ground where the pipe was. :)
PS that is the house next door for sale, not ours.
We have a lot more of work to do. There will be more posts to follow relating to our wonderful remodel!
