Upstairs Progress...worth reading

Howdy. SO we have been making some pretty great progress. The upstairs is really coming together and starting to feel like a place we actually want to be. I've been painting so much that Carl has stopped coming over. Ha. He thinks it's a waste of time. He'll be back next week. I'm going to have to hang it up for a while. Oh and we found an amazing second-hand furniture store in town. They take old pieces and have local artists bring some life back into them. So we may have gone a bit overboard. Whatever. I reminded Kev that we slept on a futon for the first five years of our relationship.

We still have so so so much to do but, at this point, the big things still needed upstairs are base boards EVERYWHERE and some detailing in the bathroom.

Kev has been a busy bee. When his brother (Brian) visited, they made a fence in the backk. I love it but it's too dark right now to photograph. They also put in a ton of the flooring downstairs and Brian did lots of odds and ends that noone should ever really have to do for anybody's house but their own. And the craziest part is that he's coming back. NEXT weekend. For more. And this time bringing the foreman, his wife.

Kev also added a couple of stairs to our staircase, put in the railing, patched some rotting wood on the side of the house. removed some rotting boards on our deck, started clearing all the junk on our bottom deck/yard, power washed the house, started power washing/sanding the deck that's to be stained, and fenced in the pathetic plot we call a garden (not photographed on purpose).

So the downstairs is still really terrible. So is the outside. I can talk way more on that later but the next big project is painting the house.  He's been scraping away, so we'll see how that goes! Thanks for reading!
