Bustin thru the bedroom

Offically busted thru and the master will be nice and huge with 3 windows and an awesome walk in closet!

Bustin thru the old closet...love the sledgehammer...Heath taught me to use the chainsaw (which was super fun) and the weed wacker (fun but not as much the chainsaw).

Cheese!

Bee hives...insulation...open floor plan!

Breaking thru the bedroom walls...it was really fun!

Opened up the back wall between the weird space and the back bedroom, the open wall will be moved to make the bedroom and bathroom larger.

Heath removed all of the wood paneling and pressed board in the living room and next was the little bit of insulation that was in the walls we removed.

Found an old bee hive in one of the walls, it was cool to look at!

Now this is an open floor plan...you can see from the kitchen all the way back to the back bedroom!

MEOW :o)

This is our house cat, she currently lives under the house and at one time was an inside cat. It took me a few days but now every morning when I get there I feed her and she lets me pet her and she even let me pick her up this morning...shes a bit sketchy but once she warms up is super sweet.

Ashtrays & Spiderwebs

The front yard that they used as an ashtray...just a little glimpse for you.
Those are spider webs up in there...yuck. By the way I am a terrible speller so...I teach fashion not english so dont mind my spelling!

Chirp Chirp

Found 6 brids nests in the front bedroom wall...they were old from before the current siding was put on but still freaky to come across them. I would also like to add that I am actually doing work...not just watching Heath, I am just documenting so Im not in too many of them!
The kitchen, bathroom and front bedroom...now I call this an open floor plan!

Be gone ceiling tiles

Removing the awesome ceiling tiles is next...they are in the kitchen, dining room, living room and one of the bathrooms.

Bitchen wallpaper!

The best wallpaper of all time, I know you want some for your kitchen!!!!!!
The gutted kitchen

Ripping out the wood paneling in the living room although there was some sort of pressed board behind it which is a bitch to get off!

Kitchen Demo Time

The kitchen was the first to go...the appliances already taken out and the countertops where a pain in the booty to get off the counter and the wall!
Looks like we have a few friends as we found on top of the cabinet.

Count them 3 different colors...yellow, green and pink along with a flowered wall paper

Wierd stuff in all the walls...almost like kitty litter but not, a pain in the booty to vacuum out

More stuff to vacuum out...

My first blister

My first blister...one of many for us!



I had to suck up all the carpet padding pieces and powder next.

Bye Bye Carpet

I ripped out the carpet in the house and scraped all the glued carpet padding up...it was yuckie some of it was powder it was so old and dont get me started on how disgusting the carpet was. The smell of the house improved greatly once the carpet was out. I know you love my outfit!

Gravel the Driveway

Getting some gravel delivered...its was really fun spreading it!

Video Tour

Here is a little video of the house...sorry its a bit bummpy. I could not figure out how to rotate it, the video was in the right direction before uploading but its changing once uploaded so you will just have to tilt your head!
