cool Clint, hope things continue to go smoothly & stay underbudget. currently looking to change out my front door to something more security minded & also change all the doorknobs in the house to nice antique crystal ones.
big fun changing your house to a home. i need to document better as i was held hostage at 3 in the morning by a huge raccon that wouldn't move from my back door, which reminds me i need to get some motion sensor lights in the back of the house, fun stuff

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.

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!

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.

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!

The Browns have a fine eye for detail and quality, and it all looks great.

I don't know, seems like they could have found a better place to store the cat.
