Baby steps people...baby steps

So I took a 2 week break from the blog.  I'd like to chock it up to hard work on my end, but I can't.  I've been sick.  Living through this chaos is enough to put anyone back in bed and under the covers!

In the meantime, I met up with a creepy junk hauler on Craig's List (you get what you pay for I guess).  Not only did I have to listen to him tell me that I should be on the show "Yard Crashers" -- like 40 times -- but I also had to deal with him trying to stick me for more money at the end of the job.  Craigs List + weirdos = no more!  So back to networking and using Angie's List to find proper sub contractors to get the job done.

What used to be the "hiney" of my house is new and perky!  I am so excited.  Well, not so excited to find that once we exposed the innards of the back addition, that it was ready to collapse.  
 So as in all remodels, we had to rebuild the addition from the ground up.  Time + $$$ = Broke and delayed.  But the addition is so sturdy now that nothing can shake this baby from her foundation!   Check out our progress and just wait until you see more of the cool stuff we dug up out of the mud pit under the crawl space!

 













Now that this major hiccup is out of our way, we are moving towards the work that really shows progress -- drywall, floors, kitchen install.    We're getting there!

So let's recap our kitchen progress. 

Well, here's hoping that there's a level sub floor, windows and perhaps even dry wall in the next picture!  I'm shifting focus to the exterior for a few days as we have to get insulation up to keep water out.
