Latest Reno

It has been a while since I have posted. And we still haven't managed to get internal pictures of the two story addition Wes finish, so I haven't posted those pictures yet - hope to soon.

This renovation hits close to home as it is our house!! Yikes! The kitchen is coming - I'm hoping to have it functioning by the weekend. For now... here is a walk through of our progress.

First - the plans.

 

This was the layout of our house before this renovation.

 

 

This will be the final layout (for now - Wes is planning a major renovation in
a few years, I'm planning on moving instead!)

 

Basement renovations - After

Here are the after pictures of the basement development. The client wanted to do the painting themselves, so the finish carpentry hasn't been painted. They were happy with the results.

Basement renovation - before

Here are the before pictures from a recent basement renovation.

A new adventure

We are starting on a new adventure. Wes has been commissioned to add a second story to a home in a nice older neighborhood. The process of getting the development permits was not particularily painful but it was excedingly slow. The building permits came through much quicker and now all the stars have aligned and the demolition begins tomorrow.

Here we go!

And a few more pictures

Again more of our lovely realtors pictures.

A few pictures

These are some of the pictures from our agent. I do plan to take some more, but just have to find the time.

We have had quite the up and down drama with the sale of the house. We are hopeful that the conditional offer we currently have on the table will go through tomorrow and we'll have a firm sale. Of course, I won't relax until we have the deal completed.

This real estate business is not for the faint of heart!

The house is listing

We expect the house to be listed on MLS today. Our realtor posted it to her website last night and we have already had one showing. The cleaning is almost complete, thanks to the help of our wonderful friends, Claudia, Shibu and Melanie! We have been so blessed by the support of people around us.

We haven't been so blessed with painters. Finding one who isn't too busy, who will actually show up is rather difficult. We are hoping to have the exterior painting finished tomorrow and Monday. Cross our fingers. Wes is finishing up some final details too before the open house tomorrow.

So if you missed our private open house last weekend and you'd like to come see the house, there is an open house tomorrow afternoon.

Our realtor has taken some lovely pictures of the house and here is the link to her WEBSITE.

We are praying for positive responses and a quick sale.

Thank you to everyone who has been following us through our journey your support has been most appreciated.
