Hi guys. I figured I'd make a thread on my house remodel which has been going on for almost 2 years. First, here is my kitchen. I can't install the lower cabinets until I install the floor. I can't do that until I get a plumbing inspection and I can’t get that until I complete the guest bathroom, which I haven't even started yet. The upper cabinets, temp sink and dishwasher are installed for now. I still need to buy a stove, however I have all the necessary appliances to cook and clean. The cabinets will be painted mica and the countertop will be a resin pour. Stay tuned for more as I complete it. Before I purchased the house What I've done to this point Next, I show what has been done to the exterior so far.

Hey, Steve. So good to see you. Is this the house in Texas? Thanks for the Christmas card, too. You have been on my mind.

Thanks guys. Yes it is the house in northern Texas. I usually only get about 4 hours in the morning to work on it, not including my morning of coffee, pulling the tools out, lunch, putting the tools back up, cleaning up and getting ready for my real job. Removing the old inadequate ceiling insulation, cleaning and flooring the attic took me 2 months in itself. Cleaning the mess the old owners left took a few months and several trips to the dump. It will take me a couple more years before I'm where I want to be.

Steve, I see you are as meticulous with your renovation as you are with plastic. Excellent work

Thank you again guys. Folks, good luck to you. I am finally seeing some progress on the inside. The guest bath area is a mess. Their tub leaked resulting in dry rot and an unlevel area because the piers sank into the soaked mud in the crawl space. The area has long since dried and I can go under and re-level the piers. I believe my next major project will be to repair that area and build new walls thereby rearranging the bathroom layout. I'm planning a heated floor, bidet and larger tub for improvements.

.... I can't install the lower cabinets until I install the floor. I can't do that until I get a plumbing inspection and I can’t get that until I complete the guest bathroom, which I haven't even started yet. I know this tale, all too well!!! Great progress!

Fine work sir. In early 2010 Nancy and I started this process with one of the kid's old bedrooms. Eight years later we finished it up and had pretty much rebuilt the entire house; we were very happy to have it done...sheetrock dust makes your roast beef and gravy taste funny. Despite the most careful sweeping and vaccuming the stuff gets everywhere, two years after the finish we were still finding deposits of it. Last time I'll do such a thing running mud on ceilings is painful at my age

I couldn't get motivated this week since they changed our hours at work. I get to be at 12:30 at the earliest if I'm lucky and try to get up at 8. If I get to sleep as soon as I hit the bed I good but not this week. I've just been a sloth before getting ready foe work. I'll get 3 days this weekend to hit it again. The backyard, mudding the pantry and repairing the joists under what's going to be the guest bath. Maybe it's good to get thus rest. Tomorrow I'll be at my GF's house and work on the Butcher Bird but let the beatings begin on Friday.

Is that cultured stone on the lower portion of what was(I'm assuming) the garage? If it is a masonry product...it can also be slapped on over the brick and foundation walls...if you so desire.

What huge improvements!!! I had my 50+ years old cedar sidings replaced three years ago with cement fiber sidings and it wasn't that cheap!
