      Well, I've got some exciting things going on at the house this week.  I'm offshore working but I've been getting some teaser photos here and there.  Most of the house is being built with reclaimed materials, it's a 1930's house that had an all long leaf pine interior and exterior cladding.

      Original Oak hardwood floors from the house were re-laid:

              Yeah, I definitely should…or just throw everything off the balcony, that would probably solve the messiness problem.

                I like that idea… Throw it all out, get a pair of IH jeans, some tees, and two shirts. Then you're set!..

                  Honestly, I'd be thrilled if everything is done before the new year.  I'm trying to not put any pressure on my general contractor as far as a timeline goes because I'm willing to wait for him to work his magic.  It's so hard being away while all the exciting stuff is happening but I'll be sure to keep you guys posted!

                  Thanks for all the comments!  The reclaimed wood is my favorite design features of the house so far!

                    Well, after 6 months of planning, waiting construction, hassle, more waiting, more hassle, take-out, no plumbing, construction, and more take-out, we finally have a new kitchen! (We also re-shingled our roof)

                    Here are some pics of all of that!


                    The old kitchen

                    The deck before being refinished

                    The deck after being pressure washed


                    We thought we were keeping the old cabinets when we started the project so we installed undercab lighting. It ultimately had to removed and reinstalled in the new cabinets.



                    Our temporary kitchen while we waited for the new cabinets to be delivered. This took about 4 weeks.

                    New patio door. The old one was rotting away.

                    New cabinets

                    My contractor wanted $2K plus materials to tile the backsplash. No thanks. I'll do it myself. So I did 🙂

                    Uh oh! Rotted out skylight above the kitchen!

                              Well, it's been a busy (and expensive) week but we've gotten a lot done.  We're getting both bathrooms tiled and the paint crew is wrapping up today:

                                Seawolf & Clint_D, wow! Amazing renovations! That's some pretty hardcore and sweet changes. Great job guys.  😃

                                Here are some videos of the renovations I did for the basement and a tour of the home theater. (The second video was from the Web Show I was working on called Media Gear)

                                      Seawolf, yes, I did say Laserdisc! We have probably 20 movies on Laserdisc.
