WOW, I cannot believe it has been over 2 weeks since our pipe burst, sending us in to this adventure of remodeling our home.
Brad Skipper of H.O.M. is keeping this project rolling right along. The drywall crew has hung all the drywall and sanded it (leaving an inch of dust on everything!). I’m not kidding, there is even dust in the kitchen drawers and cabinets. Allie has been cleaning nightly to keep it all manageable.
They have now finished the first coat of paint on most of the walls and it’s starting to feel more like home again. Tomorrow Marvin and his crew should finish up. Also, our new vanity should be built tomorrow or Tuesday. We’re pretty excited about that too. Unfortunately, there’s still no floor but that’ll be here soon enough.
Allie and I have decided to upgrade some things in this process to add value to our house. As a Realtor, I’ve wanted to change just a few things in our house but figured we’d get to it eventually. Instead, we spent the weekend figuring out the budget and picking out things because it’s happening now! We are going to upgrade the light fixtures, counters, sink and backsplash in the kitchen and add bead board in the master bath. I think we went to every home store in Nashville Saturday and now we have a room full of things waiting to be installed this week.
I’m starting to be able to envision the end result and I’m super excited about it. Allie is too. Updates may not come as often now because there isn’t daily change. Like they say, “There is nothing more boring than watching paint dry.” I will post as things change though! Stay tuned for more adventures…
