One Year Ago


Sometimes it seems like we aren't making much progress at all with our remodeling project! 
 But then I look back at where we were one year ago today.



Our little old farmhouse was still sitting right on the highway.


Now we're back by the pond with a full basement and a new roof!


The biggest change inside has to be the kitchen. 
The photo above shows my kitchen one year ago.


This is my kitchen now.  We're still working on it.



My center island was installed after we finished the floors.



It has a temporary plywood top but will eventually be butcher block.


Lots more storage room in all of those drawers!


Sheetrock for finishing the basement had to be delivered with a crane!


We tried to seal off the basement but sheetrock dust covered everything.


All of the "stuff" we had stored in the basement had to be moved to the front bedroom...


....and the front porch.  What a mess!


Glass blocks will add a little light to my basement
 laundry/canning room.  We're re-using the old kitchen cabinets there.


The next step will be adding siding to the outside of the house.

I guess we are making progress!!
