I cut out the hole I made in the kitchen.  We still have to remove the stud.




I stripped paneling and wallpaper in the kitchen.






And found a door!

Which we opened up.

Day 15

Here are the two options for stain.

I like the one on the left.

My friend, Stephanie (Rouse) Britt polishing doorknobs.

The results of our labor!

I scrapped the paint off of this window in the living room I had painted two weeks ago.

Criser is innocently cooking while I am up to no good.

Me about to knock a hole in something.

Criser and I cleaning up the mess I made.

Can you see the tounge and groove?  Proof that there is hardwood under the linoleum in the kitchen!

Jason did some more demo in the upstairs bathroom.

While I demo'ed a wall in the kitchen.

Here are some cute pictures of my baby girl, Jamie.

Day 13 - Outdoors Work Day

Today we worked outdoors on the house.


We trimmed the bushes in front of the house.  We need an electric hedge trimmer to do any more.


The wheelchair ramp is gone!


The beautiful side porch that was hiding underneath ivy and a wheelchair ramp.








We also trimmed and weeded the side koi pond.


Doesn't it look great!


We trimmed the bushes around the propane tank too.


The boys cleaned out the gutters and pulled the vine off of the windows and back of the house.  Now we just have to pull the vine off of the trellis.


I pulled ivy off of the back of the house.


No ivy!


We filled a big dumpster.

We trimmed the bushes here.
