Well, we are still at it and will be for awhile yet.sigh. We are currently renovating our house while living in it complete with a new kitchen/bath addition. I have been without a "kitchen" for about 6 months now. My stove/oven is freestanding in my dining room which has yet to be painted only having mudded, taped and sanded walls in it and a litter box amongst other junk. My "kitchen" is in my laundry room and my kitchen sink is my utility sink and my drying rack for dishes in on top of my dryer.:+
My microwave sits on top of my chest freezer so you have to move the microwave onto the dog crate when you want to get into the freezer, the fridge also is in that room. Life is sooo wonderful,LOL!! We eat in the family room on our laps because while the table in set up in the "would be new kitchen" that room is currently serving as our master bedroom because we had to gut our room upstairs to put new windows in so we can get new siding put up. So we had to move downstairs into the "new kitchen" which again has no paint only sanded mudded and taped drywall walls.
My dh is off work this week and we are working on getting our room finished so we can move back in and then paint the kitchen. We were drywalling the ceiling over the lath yesterday so we wouldn't have to take down the lath and have all the blown in insulation fall on our heads and have that mess to clean up. We did manage to get it all up, my dh also framed in a closet for our room since this is a very old house that had no closets when we bought it.
We have basically been doing something to this house since we moved in this is just the biggest project to date. Dh wants to sell the house after this and walk away, he is sooo tired of working on the house. Can you blame him?;(
We are trying to focus on one room this week and finish it so we don't get bogged down with all the "other" things that have to be done. I even have a hole going down through the middle of my house where I and the boys took down the interior chimney ourselves from attic to right below the first floor floor into the basement. So technically there isn't a room in the house that hasn't been touched with the exception being my oldest son's room and the upstairs bathroom since we did those about 3 years ago.:7
We have replaced every window in the house, all having to be done before the new siding goes in, we also have a new front door and will have to have new carpet, hardwood floors, new railing for the steps and drywall throughout the whole house.
We are very busy people.
Thanks for asking!:7
