Home Reno Hell














Kathryn, I promised you pictures and never let it be said that I break my promises! ;-) Since the last article, my little project has advanced at a fairly decent pace; but, due to measures beyond my control (lack of access to the funds) as well as special orders - the master bath is complete, but Nicole still sleeps in her daughter's bed. I feel like Charlie Brown most days, "ARGHHHHHH!"

At least I am no longer required to shower in "the crypt," as I've so affectionately deemed the guest bath; and, I have my first grown up closet completely designed by yours truly. The goal now is to finish clearing out the past (old clothes) and learn to keep only what I need today. Boxes and bags of old clothing have gone out the door to charity - my own personal "What Not to Wear," but clutter reproduces faster than termites or cockroaches. The mounds are never-ending, but as Gloria Gaynor sings, "I Will Survive!" Due to the fact I've a much more interesting post following, without further ado here are the pictures of what has been finished; I am told the bedroom will be done in November, but the same thing was said over 5 years ago - not holding my breath.

As you will notice, our house sits atop a hill surrounded by mountains; and, it was quite literally sliding off the hill due to recent changes in our water table after years in severe drought. Sadly, the interior budget had to go to the foundation first then painting the exterior if we were to salvage the siding. Thankfully, softball size hail purchased a new roof of which I have yet to snap photos just happy it is done. My apologies for the photo quality, but I am still learning just like this blog.
