Update!

It's been a month since our last post, so you can imagine the changes that have taken place...check out the latest photos that we posted.

Here is a list of the chhhannnges:

• Most of the windows are in
• The framing is almost complete
• The drywall is delivered and ready to go
• The plumber has come and gone and the electrician starts tomorrow
• The roof is almost ready for tar paper and shingles
• The fireplace insert is in...yes I know all you who live outside Cali would say "why a fireplace in So Cal?". We SoCo's do get those few days each year, and especially the last two years, where the thermometer drops below 32 degrees....cold enough for a fire!
• We have picked the floors which we really like. We think they are really beautiful wood and we can't wait to see them installed.
• We ordered our kitchen cabinets, appliances and the other bathroom cabinets.

Next stop, tile store here we come!! (Yes I know, excited over tile shopping. What can we say)

Thanks for stopping by. Blog you soon - Molly & Rob

2nd story

Just back in from a work trip and the stairs are 99.9% complete. The 2nd story framing has started. It's pretty amazing to walk up the stairs and have a completely different view of the neighborhood.

We are already super excited to move back in....maybe we should wait until one of the bathrooms and the kitchen are finished!!!

progress

An update on the framing and foundation. We ended up choosing the new Lincoln Windows with pull down screens.....very niiiiiceee!!

The Big Remodel - decisions decisions

The back of the house is torn off and the garage is torn down. It's time to pick out some windows.

We have narrowed it down to Lincoln Windows versus Pella. Consumer reports doesn't have a great comparison on them, and I haven't found much out there in terms of true comparisons on other blogs. We are looking for comparisons in terms of quality. We will have to keep digging (at least until the quotes come in).
