More Progress....Thomas is working so Hard!!!

Mitchell has returned to Atlanta and Thomas is working hard on the house.  It is so much work and I am having some complications with Lupus at the moment and am really not much help.  I did help a little yesterday with the mud on the drywall.  I got it everywhere and I think he just wanted me to let him do it!

Ok, Now on to the really fun stuff... more of the house!

Do you remember this in the foyer?

Horrible paneling...Some kind of Cabinet that rose about 10 feet????????

This what we found.  Beautiful Lap Board.  Thomas took a Sledge Hammer and removed all of the paneling.....

This is the ceiling....12 Foot.  See the hole?  A Beautiful Chandelier will hang from that hole one day soon!

This was the floor...it will be wood!!   The door to the right is the Dining Room and that wall is coming down.  The Door to the left is the Master.  Let me show you that.

 This room is 12 x 14, part of the original 4 square house.  The windows are original.   This was a night mare.  Mitchell pulled all the walls and ceilings out.  The ceilings went up 12 foot but the walls stopped at 9.  When the original hall down the center of the house was closed up (closet, part of kitchen) the walls were not dropped but a wall was added here and there.  So, we had to put drywall on the ceilings.  Much better than the drop ceilings that were there.

Mitchell, Jordan and Kit did this work and for first timers...did pretty good!  All I had to do was feed them.  Seems like a pretty fair trade off (for me)!!


Ok, the next problem...we found termite damage.  It had been treated and there is no activity but, there was no way to replace the pieces of lap board so sadly...dry wall it has to be!

See!  Pretty Scary!!  Thomas put the entire room of dry wall up himself.  He is tired and sore.  And, of course, he is at his REAL job today.  The man never misses work.  He is one of a kind!!

Here he is putting in the drywall and pulling electrical boxes!!

 These are the kitchen ceiling...all scraped!  No more popcorn stuff.  All they need now is a little dry wall mud to repair the divots, sand and paint. The other bedroom is almost scraped as well.

may not seem like a lot but...it has been hard work for Thomas.

We have all the kitchen appliances.  The columns are going across the front of the house this week and hopefully the kitchen floors will be leveled.


I am still so excited at what this will become.  I really can't wait!!  But...for now I will have to.  Next time I will hopefully have a few rooms painted and show you some of my options for bathroom tile.  I have picked the kitchen back splash, but for now you will have to wait for the next installment.

 Remember you can have a Warm and Welcoming home without spending Tons of Money!  I can help!!  I am only an email, text or phone call away!!

Take Care All!!
