My late family home renovation

[Fanatic]

Oh I'll definitely keep you guys posted. It's just been too cold lately to do anything. I've been mainly gathering supplies, and moving new appliances in.

Wow just came across this. were do you get the energy? i think that you are doing it rite, doing the work yourself. out of all the house's that are being worked on on this site your house in my mind is the 1,000,000 dollar houses. you da man work hard work safe Bill

[Fanatic]

To tell the truth, I don't know where the energy comes from. I do have A.D.H.D, so I guess this is my way of using it for the good, LOL. I'm starting to work on her some more this weekend, so yes. More photos! The well has settled about 2 feet, so I need to get that patched up real quick. I also have a few things to fix in the living room as far as the flooring, they're driving me crazy. But yes, I am still going at it, even when I don't post.

Wow, the work you've put into that place is amazing. I in awe and ashamed, because our house is not no where near the condition of what you started with, and we have accomplished next to nothing!

I'd love some of your energy! At this rate, I can't see you not having it done by Christmas! (I bet your grandparents are so proud!)

Oh yeah, my grand parents are enjoying seeing the house get fixed up. It makes me feel a great sense of pride getting it done also. New oven was installed today, along with a set of twin flower planters I built the lady. We planted 3 different breeds of flowers in them today, and I can't wait for them to blossom.

Decided to throw a few hours into her today. I noticed the other day that the sill on the front porch wasn't looking so sweet. So, I replaced it. Got that done, and noticed 2 of the posts were turning to crap. Haha, I fixed it.




My cousin, little helper man.

We finally gave the living room some more attention today! I bought a tub of joint compound to fix old nail holes, and remove the seams where the paneling is put together. I put 2 coats on today, will sand, and add another tomorrow if needed. We also got 2 cans or Behr pure earth. It's a little bit darker than the kitchen, which will look great I believe. Here are some teaser photos. I need to finish flooring soon, but I wanted to fix the bottom of a few panels first. It's next on the list.












Lots of nail holes, for sure.Also, here are the rails in the day.



And my new door I made.

Looks better in person when you can't see the dust, but I will deliver 1 teaser. Not at it's best yet, but give me about a week.

Added new switches and outlets today where needed. One or 2 were broken, and I wanted to replace them as soon as I could. Also got started on finishing the siding on the front of the shed. It's mostly done now as soon as I get the siding on I'll be building the doors. Here are some photos. Now I have 2 rooms to finish, then I can add my trim and carpet back.








Now to take on this room.
