When we moved in, the main wall over the stairs had plaster falling off, so we knew we needed to replace that wall. As we've gone through the house, fixing things, we've come to realize that all the walls need the old plaster and lathe torn out, insulation added where necessary, and drywall put in place instead. This process is a long one because the drywall mud needs 24-hours to dry between coats. However, we can't always work on it when it is ready, so we have had many stops and starts along the way.<br />
<br />
Almost as soon as we moved in, the only front porch light mysteriously died. So, we had to tear into the front wall to access the wiring. That began the whole project, though we didn't complete it then. (I had posted about that earlier, but decided to include those pictures again for continuity. You can see my original post <a href="http://greenvillegrove.blogspot.com/2010/07/hallway-work.html">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
We also started the stairway wall before we were really ready to because it also coincided with the wall in our bedroom that the closet is now on. (See our master bedroom project<a href="http://greenvillegrove.blogspot.com/2012/01/master-bedroom-bath.html"> here</a>.) However, we were focused on the master bedroom at the time, so were not able to finish the hall and stairway project. After finishing the bedroom, we went back to the kitchen, and then we went back to the hallway/stairway project. This turned out to be more than we bargained for, much like the master bedroom project! As we were tearing out the wall plaster and lathe, we realized that the ceiling should probably be replaced as well, so we tore that out and then saw the spiderweb of electrical work that really drove my husband nuts! So, he set about doing is best to fix that mess. As it turned out, he needed to tear into the living room AND dining room ceilings in order to access all the wiring to fix the wiring in the hall! (The dining room is our next project.)<br />
<br />
Now, we've gotten the new drywall up, the muding finished, the paint on (we changed the color since what we originally got was much pinker than we thought it would be), and now the ceiling tile is being put in. We decided to put fiber ceiling tile over the drywall to help absorb the kids' noise upstairs.<br />
<br />
I'm posting pictures of the day we first saw the house followed by the fixing process. We are not done yet, but I thought I would post what we have done so far. We still need to finish placing the ceiling tile, purchase and paint the trim, place the trim, and then finish up the bookcase in the window area.<br />

We started working on the kitchen in September of 2009 shortly after moving into the Grove. Other projects called us away from finishing up the kitchen until September 2012. Now, we have everything complete except replacing the flooring, which we're hoping to get granite (maybe) tile in black with white flecks. However, that is a major project that will cost quite a lot, so we have delayed it for a while.<br />
<br />
Here are all the pictures I have of the project, I thought I had taken more of the finished project, but apparently not. I'll have to take some when my kitchen isn't quite so "lived in" looking.<br />

We moved here September 7th, 2009. Sometimes it feels like we haven't gotten much done in the way of fixing it up because I still see all the things we want to do. However, when I think about all the things we HAVE fixed, we actually have done quite a lot for only three years.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures that my sister, Becky, took on the day we moved (it actually took several trips over the course of many days to get it all, but the bulk of it was done on the 7th of September, 2009). <br />

The irony of it was, when we first looked at the house I remember thinking how perfect it was and how very little we'd have to do to it because the dark green color of the walls fit in perfectly with our bedroom's color scheme. However, the first cold fall nights in 2009 made us painfully aware that we would have to do a LOT of renovating...our room was COLD!! First, there was no heat vent, so that had to be remedied right away. But, still, the room was bitterly cold in the winter. After the front porch light that was right outside our North bedroom wall mysteriously quit working we had to dig into the North wall to get at the wiring. We discovered that there was no drywall behind the paneling and the little bit of insulation that was there was sagging, cracked, and falling to pieces. So, we began with replacing the insulation and drywall in the North wall after Jason fixed the electrical (and made it better than it was originally). Then, we decided we really needed to start the project of making our tiny little closet bigger. That led to tearing out the bathroom. We also wanted to remove the huge ceiling fan/light and put in a better one -centering it in the room as we did so, which meant we needed to patch the old hole and then paint the ceiling. So, we ended up pretty much gutting our bedroom/bathroom and renovating every square inch of it! But, it is so much the better now. I'm in the process of making new curtains because we added a third window to our room also.<br />

Here are some pictures, before and after:<br />
<br />
<br />
The day we saw the house for the first time July 13, 2009. This is the master bedroom. See the tiny closet, carpet on the stairs, and the pocket door?<br />

See the ceiling fan, it wasn't centered in the room and it was super low. <br />

<br />
Here is the closet now, new carpet and fresh paint on the stairs, and a newly stained door. I also have the new curtain up on the North window, but still have the old valance and tie backs. <br />

Starting to get the new paint. You can see here the new window we put in. Jason cut a hole in the wall and we placed the window ourselves. It is SO nice to have natural light there now. The South wall was so dark. <br />

Putting up trim. We decided to go with an ivory color for the trim and baseboard since Jason didn't want it to look like a Michigan State room (he's a Michigan fan!). <br />

Turns out, it fits perfectly in the opening of our faux fireplace/entertainment center! It was just what we were wanting, and now the "fireplace" is complete!<br />

I'm not sure if it was functional, because they had faux firewood that would "crackle" and "burn" when you turned the switch. I always enjoyed it, and thought it was so neat to have a fireplace as the "heart" of the living room. I've always thought a fireplace would be fun, romantic, and neat to have. <br />
<br />
When we moved to The Grove, we saw the way the living room was arranged created an almost unusable corner. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-TCs7H5Tzk/T8fEW532QGI/AAAAAAAAGLw/yMFZu2_4tWQ/s1600/88.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-TCs7H5Tzk/T8fEW532QGI/AAAAAAAAGLw/yMFZu2_4tWQ/s320/88.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The corner was small, and there was a heat vent right in the corner. This became where we put our TV, but it was difficult to work around the heat vent. So, in my mind, I designed an entertainment center that would hold the TV, DVDs/Blurays, incorporate the heat vent, and also fulfill my long desire to have a fireplace. This year with our tax return we decided it was time to replace our nearly 9-year old TV (which was on its last legs) with a flat screen. We also decided that was the time to also build the entertainment center I had dreamed up. Yesterday, we finally finished it! Here are some progress images followed by two of the fireplace/entertainment center completed.<br />

However, it is such a MAJOR undertaking, that it has taken more than a year and we're still not finished. So, I will post our progress so far. We began in November (the 9th, I believe) 2010 with tearing apart the old tiny closet. (Even though, technically, we had started back in March 2010 by tearing out the Orange Street side bedroom wall and putting in a wall next to the steps for the closet, see that post <a href="http://greenvillegrove.blogspot.com/2010/08/bedroom-wall.html">here</a>.)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Tearing apart the old closet<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--su-Y5vm_Ng/TwdWwxEvAOI/AAAAAAAAFas/clNTmJ64KUE/s1600/01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--su-Y5vm_Ng/TwdWwxEvAOI/AAAAAAAAFas/clNTmJ64KUE/s320/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694615649640186082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CWG3h9zfMAY/TwdWw9movFI/AAAAAAAAFak/Inv654qesW8/s1600/02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CWG3h9zfMAY/TwdWw9movFI/AAAAAAAAFak/Inv654qesW8/s320/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694615653003607122" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TlpRKCudgNU/TwdWntUHmNI/AAAAAAAAFaY/BdXt3mu8eOQ/s1600/03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TlpRKCudgNU/TwdWntUHmNI/AAAAAAAAFaY/BdXt3mu8eOQ/s320/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694615494012147922" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The little closet had a lower ceiling than the rest of the room, and the bathroom had a little "box" of sorts down from the ceiling.

Our shower has been installed since May 2011, we have a boarder up in the bathroom, and the sink is in place. We are currently working on the walls of the bedroom. Jason has them mudded, and he's working on sanding so we can prime & paint. This has been a very long involved process that has taken us more than a year to get to this point and we're not even done. My poor kitchen has been waiting, half finished, for a VERY long time!Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-73907888563430071982011-12-27T11:20:00.004-05:002011-12-27T11:30:33.834-05:00Merry Christmas, Happy New YearIt's a bit late, but we're finally getting our "white Christmas"! It is snowing out and so gorgeous, I decided to plug in the Christmas lights and take some pictures before the decorations come down. From our house to yours: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />Also, I never took pictures of our porch and front walk project from this summer. We re-did the screens on the porch and made them permanent, we put in a new screen door and changed the location of the door. We also added a "nub" to the porch with steps and railings (the Myrtle side railing is removable so we can take R2-D2 down the steps), and we added a boardwalk connecting the steps to the front side walk. Also, we added a post light at the end of the boardwalk, something I've always wanted. Here is a "before" picture:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5NISlqGGlvY/TvnxahHtssI/AAAAAAAAFLY/iQKHkKDKUmg/s1600/5-28-11_02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5NISlqGGlvY/TvnxahHtssI/AAAAAAAAFLY/iQKHkKDKUmg/s320/5-28-11_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690845042028950210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />And here it is now, all covered in freshly falling snow and my Christmas lights and garlands:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hQiWSJMXROA/TvnwvZe2HWI/AAAAAAAAFLM/ln-WadLHOlw/s1600/12-27-11_01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hQiWSJMXROA/TvnwvZe2HWI/AAAAAAAAFLM/ln-WadLHOlw/s320/12-27-11_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690844301244112226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-deiNC9epgQU/TvnwvH0wvrI/AAAAAAAAFK0/xsczdFT_rP4/s1600/12-27-11_03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-deiNC9epgQU/TvnwvH0wvrI/AAAAAAAAFK0/xsczdFT_rP4/s320/12-27-11_03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690844296504196786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KR26UfjiOFY/TvnwvJbSdMI/AAAAAAAAFK8/fgrVM6jO-Es/s1600/12-27-11_02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KR26UfjiOFY/TvnwvJbSdMI/AAAAAAAAFK8/fgrVM6jO-Es/s320/12-27-11_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690844296934225090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MtV2seyjWBA/Tvnwu2w-2dI/AAAAAAAAFKk/iwTwJr-MaGA/s1600/12-27-11_04.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MtV2seyjWBA/Tvnwu2w-2dI/AAAAAAAAFKk/iwTwJr-MaGA/s320/12-27-11_04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690844291924941266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwXInOxhccw/Tvnwu-sPKkI/AAAAAAAAFKc/Ugt8UqUxkkA/s1600/12-27-11_05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwXInOxhccw/Tvnwu-sPKkI/AAAAAAAAFKc/Ugt8UqUxkkA/s320/12-27-11_05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690844294052522562" border="0" /></a>Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-48615787856933282032011-09-07T20:22:00.003-04:002011-09-07T20:25:32.791-04:00Two Years!Two years ago, we were moving our belongings into our house so we could begin living here. It's amazing all the things that we've been able to accomplish in those two years...and how many we still need to do!<br /><br />I have a load of pictures I'm eager to share, but I'm hoping we'll finish something before I can post them. We've been working on the front porch, adding steps to the left side, and a wooden walk. I'll post pictures of that soon. Also, we've been working on expanding the bathroom <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> the closet in the master bedroom as well as redoing the walls with better insulation and drywall instead of thin wood paneling.<br /><br />Here is a beautiful sunset picture I just took a few minutes ago. I LOVE living here!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1eU6sXVUfJg/TmgLZA1GATI/AAAAAAAAFJk/eBgN3WRxr2M/s1600/09-07-11.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Anna's room is so much bigger and better here! <br /><br />On June 8th, 2010 I took the life-sized drawing of Cinderella that I had done on paper and transferred it onto the wall that Anna's bed is on.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIFg-BswI/AAAAAAAADn4/N7cEGGWqRmQ/s1600/06-08-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIFg-BswI/AAAAAAAADn4/N7cEGGWqRmQ/s320/06-08-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499115142094369538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIFWzrmsI/AAAAAAAADnw/paUPQuCjfK4/s1600/06-08-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIFWzrmsI/AAAAAAAADnw/paUPQuCjfK4/s320/06-08-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499115139366623938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIElLxQUI/AAAAAAAADno/FPZYcNTZ2nA/s1600/06-08-10_03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIElLxQUI/AAAAAAAADno/FPZYcNTZ2nA/s320/06-08-10_03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499115126045884738" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then, I began to paint, starting with Cinderella's dress and headband:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIER3Q3_I/AAAAAAAADng/FpmME99nHBc/s1600/06-08-10_04.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDIER3Q3_I/AAAAAAAADng/FpmME99nHBc/s320/06-08-10_04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499115120859602930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Just before I ended for the night, I took this picture of Anna with her developing mural.

We were trying to get the playset put up before frost set in, but we ran out of time so the poor thing sat rather crooked the entire winter. Then, one day in March (I believe) I had two guys come to the back door. I had been waiting for some people from Freecycle to come pick up the old toilet we took out of the upstairs bathroom, so I was expecting it to be them. I stood there telling them the best way would be to bring the truck to the front since the toilet was on the porch. They looked at me like I had trees growing out of my ears or something and then told me they were there about the playset. I told them it WAS NOT for sale, it belonged to our kids. I felt like saying "Do you see a 'for sale' sign on it? No? Well then go away!" But, I didn't. I secretly hope that they see it now, often, perhaps while our kids are actually using to know how stupid their request was! :)<br /><br />We had to dig quite a bit because the spot we set up the play equipment is hilly. The back legs of the swing set (and the fort) were lower than the front legs, so we had to dig into the ground so the front legs would be level.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_r45soeI/AAAAAAAADmQ/S9oWqzz92sU/s1600/05-19-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_r45soeI/AAAAAAAADmQ/S9oWqzz92sU/s320/05-19-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105905749041634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_rkEyezI/AAAAAAAADmI/t5hA5nl0i0A/s1600/05-19-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_rkEyezI/AAAAAAAADmI/t5hA5nl0i0A/s320/05-19-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105900158417714" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We had a toad visit us in my strawberry garden while we were out working:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_ra3rSoI/AAAAAAAADmA/OZUsn3C0gnU/s1600/05-20-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_ra3rSoI/AAAAAAAADmA/OZUsn3C0gnU/s320/05-20-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105897687501442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_rM2Ro_I/AAAAAAAADl4/_PCWdo5esVg/s1600/05-20-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_rM2Ro_I/AAAAAAAADl4/_PCWdo5esVg/s320/05-20-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105893923529714" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Testing out the swings:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_GTay8vI/AAAAAAAADlw/Hx3bMhMRbCE/s1600/05-20-10_03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_GTay8vI/AAAAAAAADlw/Hx3bMhMRbCE/s320/05-20-10_03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105260032160498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_GPX-SaI/AAAAAAAADlo/Uz6Zo-qwv68/s1600/05-20-10_04.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_GPX-SaI/AAAAAAAADlo/Uz6Zo-qwv68/s320/05-20-10_04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105258946578850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_FkEgI4I/AAAAAAAADlg/e2kSpcEjwao/s1600/05-20-10_05.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_FkEgI4I/AAAAAAAADlg/e2kSpcEjwao/s320/05-20-10_05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105247322186626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_FFHXEVI/AAAAAAAADlY/NVEYaPxeHd0/s1600/05-22-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_FFHXEVI/AAAAAAAADlY/NVEYaPxeHd0/s320/05-22-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105239012675922" border="0" /></a><br />Everything set up and ready for play!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_EzTuSFI/AAAAAAAADlQ/d-bVjgPA_bw/s1600/05-22-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC_EzTuSFI/AAAAAAAADlQ/d-bVjgPA_bw/s320/05-22-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499105234232690770" border="0" /></a>Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-36483664423874552382010-08-01T00:00:00.000-04:002010-08-01T00:00:00.839-04:00Bedroom WallThe front porch light mysteriously stopped working just before Halloween. We needed to take the paneling off the wall in our room and tear into the wall in the hallway in order to get to the wiring and see what was what (the light was just outside our bedroom window). We didn't want to tear into the walls during the winter, so in March after it started to warm up, we began.<br /><br />We weren't planning to change our room any more than just to extend the closet. However, during the winter, we quickly realized we'd need to do something because, even though we put a heat vent in (there wasn't one), our room didn't get much warmer than 65 on a good day all winter (I think it got as cold as 51-52).<br /><br />In the process, we decided that we would move the light switch because it was behind the door. We put in a wall that will be the side of the closet so that we had a place to put the light switch. We also added an outlet on that wall.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Taking off the paneling and window trim:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFC7ld66JlI/AAAAAAAADlI/vQJ9qkm39Wk/s1600/04-03-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block;

We're also hoping to expand the bathroom a tad with the hope that we can put a slightly bigger shower, sink, and vanity in. This will correspond with extending the closet, which we hope to be able to afford to do/finish soon.Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-23090759490471653822010-07-31T00:00:00.001-04:002010-07-31T00:00:04.406-04:00Hallway WorkThe project in the hall was one that we knew needed to be done, but weren't sure when. However, the replacement of the front door with the removal of the door trim helped us decide. Also, the fact that the front porch light mysteriously stopped working and we needed to dig into the wall to figure out the wiring for that helped us decide as well.<br /><br />This project led to several others in the process. We had to dig into the front wall in our bedroom (I will post that later) as well as run wire for a new porch light, a matching light on the opposite side of the porch, and a porch ceiling light which was missing. While we had things torn up, we decided we probably should put in an electrical outlet at the base of the stairs, so that led to tearing out the hall wall under the stairs.

The trim needs to be redone for the door (it is a bit taller than the old one) and the switch plate needs some shim work because the outlet box is sort of at a weird angle. We also need to do some touch up with the paint. But now, the walls are no longer sagging because the plaster was pulling away from the lath.Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-19337078879868313032010-07-30T00:00:00.001-04:002010-07-30T00:00:04.912-04:00New Front DoorWe had been keeping our eyes open for bargain doors and found this one for a great price. It was cheaper than the door we thought we'd have to "settle" for, and it is so much nicer! On January 8th, 2010 my Dad helped us take out the old door, widen the opening a bit, and install the new door. It was a VERY cold venture, but one that needed to be done because the old door was losing heat very badly.<br /><br /><br /><br />Jason painting the exterior of the door:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFCjNiMdk1I/AAAAAAAADcA/GN94EWZ6LYM/s1600/01-08-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFCjNiMdk1I/AAAAAAAADcA/GN94EWZ6LYM/s320/01-08-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499074597932077906" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFCjGXlrkZI/AAAAAAAADb4/8HevFUcg_ds/s1600/01-08-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFCjGXlrkZI/AAAAAAAADb4/8HevFUcg_ds/s320/01-08-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499074474825978258" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The old door. It had a key-hole directly to the outside for a skeleton type key (in the pictures it's covered with black tape). You can see light at the bottom of the door. There was about a 1½"-2" gap between the bottom of the door and the floor! The door was so old, there was no kind of insulation what-so-ever. On the contrast, the door that we got to replace it is Energy Star certified!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFCjF9VekTI/AAAAAAAADbw/20A2cU66JQw/s1600/01-08-10_03.jpg"><img style="display: block;

We haven't done anything in the dining room (other than the floor and curtains) because we need to completely re-do the walls. The walls in the dining room have the same problem the walls in the hallway and stairway have/had: the plaster is coming away from the lathe and the only thing keeping it up is the wallpaper. This makes the walls "wavy" and bumpy.<br />Other projects in the house have taken priority, so the dining room waits. In the mean time, I have taken down the blinds and put up curtains. These are the curtains I had at our old house, but I had to redo one set to fit the window better.<br /><br /><br />This is the dining room when we looked at the house 7-13-09. It had dirty lace valances and clunky blinds:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDC0-VTCrI/AAAAAAAADmw/le97eXHPQrQ/s1600/91.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDC0-VTCrI/AAAAAAAADmw/le97eXHPQrQ/s320/91.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499109360360688306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here is what it looks like now (ignore the sheen off of the plastic we put on the window) :<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDA176OEII/AAAAAAAADmo/KTLGPnCwUkE/s1600/06-04-10_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDA176OEII/AAAAAAAADmo/KTLGPnCwUkE/s320/06-04-10_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499107177866858626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDA1q8d7QI/AAAAAAAADmg/5jjeyANvpzc/s1600/06-04-10_02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N_ozKEpiQps/TFDA1q8d7QI/AAAAAAAADmg/5jjeyANvpzc/s320/06-04-10_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499107173312883970" border="0" /></a>Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530636207949243033.post-36697477500091890492010-07-28T16:26:00.010-04:002010-07-28T16:52:37.844-04:00Benjamin's RoomJust after Christmas 2009 we started working in the boys' rooms.

We still need to cover up the hole where the fan was (we moved it because it wasn't centered in his room). I'll probably paint a few windows here and there on the city. <br /><br />We brought the plywood city from our old house because we were in the process of making his room there into the "Spiderman room" and didn't want to leave all that effort behind. As a result, we ended up with seams and outlet holes where there weren't before. So, we have some other pieces of city to cut out and paint a darker shade of grey as well as some police cars to cover up some of the seams. <br /><br />Also, I have a piece of plywood that I've drawn the outline of Spiderman on (pretty close to life-sized, if not bigger) that Jason needs to cut out so I can paint it and then we'll put it up next to his window. I plan to put a rope coming from Spiderman's hand like he's shooting a web across Benjamin's room. It will be pretty cool when it's finished. :)Mieal Denebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899510751620638247noreply@blogger.com0
