Father-Daughter Project

Nothing says family bonding like Father-Daughter roofing projects.  This weekend was busy, but we were still able to tackle a much needed project.  The porch roof was in need of repair before winter.  The roof is pretty flat, so it won't be seen much from the road, but the upstairs bedroom looks out onto it.  Now it is a nice looking roof!  We  were able to get the project done relatively quickly and even did some drywall work in one of the guest bedrooms.  

Preparing for Winter

We are almost coming up on the one year mark of owning this project house.  Ryan and I were recently going through pictures from when we started and could hardly believe the difference.  I will write a post soon with before and afters of each room at the one year mark, but here is a sneak peek:

This weekend we worked on updating the windows in the house and got 6 new vinyl windows put in.  3 went into the living room and 3 more went into the master bedroom, including one that replaced this window made of cling-wrap and duct tape:

Here are some pictures of the updated windows:

We also enclosed some plumbing and electrical that runs from the crawl space into the upstairs bathroom.  It runs through the guest bedroom downstairs:

Lastly, we wired 2 pendant lights in the kitchen.  There really isn't much more to do in the kitchen until it is finished!

Our new furnace was delivered to the house this weekend and will be put in some time next week.  We have decided we will be moving into the house in January if all of our plans work out, so we are approaching crunch time.  Our next big projects include putting new roofing on the porch and back half of the house and gutting out the living room.  It's one adventure after the next!
