Getting Started

We got started on the house this past weekend, so much work to be done!  We pulled down lots of wallpaper and paneling in the kitchen.  Here are a few pics of Jeff and our friend Ryan working hard.





Our contractor started on Tuesday this week.  He has already installed the new water heater and has started demo on several of the rooms.

The contractor will take care of most of the BIG projects on this house.  Things like...
             
1.  Replacing the electric and plumbing.
2.  Replacing the HVAC system.
3.  Smoothing out our crazy plaster walls.
4.  Building a new wall to extend the master bath.
5.  Tiling the kitchen and bathrooms.
6.  Installing appliances, counters, and bathroom fixtures

It is great to have a professional working on the more difficult things.  However, there is still a ton left for us to work on!  Our first big project will be refinishing the clawfoot tub we just bought off craigslist....stay posted to see how it goes.

Also, check out where the homeowners from long ago used to write down their phone numbers...we found this under the paneling:
I'd like to know who "Boo Bon" was.
